    Marine engineering includes the engineering of which of the following? - ProProfs

    Marine engineering includes the engineering of which of the following?

    • Boats

    • Ships

    • Oil rigs

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Marine engineering encompasses the engineering of boats, ships, and oil rigs. This field involves the design, construction, and maintenance of various marine structures and equipment. Professionals in marine engineering are responsible for ensuring the safety, efficiency, and functionality of these marine vessels and structures. By including "All of the above" as the correct answer, it indicates that marine engineering covers all three options mentioned in the question.

    What is the full meaning of MEBA? - ProProfs

    What is the full meaning of MEBA?

    • Marine Engineers' Beneficial Association

    • Marine Engineers' Benevolent Association

    • Marine Engineers' Benign Association

    • Marine Engineers' Bever Association

    Correct Answer
    A. Marine Engineers' Beneficial Association
    Explanation
    The full meaning of MEBA is Marine Engineers' Beneficial Association. This association is likely a professional organization or union that provides benefits and support to marine engineers.

    Which of the following trade unions is regarded as the longest lasting maritime trade union? - ProProfs

    Which of the following trade unions is regarded as the longest lasting maritime trade union?

    • PETA

    • SETA

    • MEBA

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. MEBA
    Explanation
    MEBA (Marine Engineers' Beneficial Association) is regarded as the longest lasting maritime trade union. This can be inferred from the fact that the other options, PETA and SETA, are not trade unions related to the maritime industry. Therefore, MEBA is the only plausible option for the longest lasting maritime trade union.

    In what year did Robert Fulton successfully used a steam engine to propel a vessel through the water? - ProProfs

    In what year did Robert Fulton successfully used a steam engine to propel a vessel through the water?

    • 1712

    • 1807

    • 1708

    • 1707

    Correct Answer
    A. 1807
    Explanation
    In 1807, Robert Fulton successfully used a steam engine to propel a vessel through the water. This marked a significant milestone in the development of steam-powered transportation, as it demonstrated the practicality and efficiency of steam engines for propelling boats. Fulton's success with the steamboat paved the way for the expansion of steam-powered transportation, revolutionizing the shipping industry and opening up new possibilities for trade and travel.

    Who is traditionally regarded as the first marine engineer? - ProProfs

    Who is traditionally regarded as the first marine engineer?

    • Robert Fulton

    • Thomas Newcomen

    • Archimedes

    • Clermont

    Correct Answer
    A. Archimedes
    Explanation
    Archimedes is traditionally regarded as the first marine engineer because he was a Greek mathematician, physicist, and inventor who made significant contributions to the field of hydrostatics and ship design. He developed various engineering principles and inventions, including the Archimedes' screw, which was used to pump water out of ships and mines. His understanding of buoyancy and displacement also played a crucial role in shipbuilding and naval architecture. Archimedes' work laid the foundation for many advancements in marine engineering, making him the most fitting choice as the first marine engineer.

    Which of the following is known as a propeller by naval architects? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is known as a propeller by naval architects?

    • Propellant

    • Neutant

    • Noise control

    • Hydrodynamic devices

    Correct Answer
    A. Hydrodynamic devices
    Explanation
    Hydrodynamic devices are known as propellers by naval architects. Propellers are specifically designed to convert rotational motion into thrust, allowing ships and boats to move through water efficiently. These devices have a complex shape and are carefully engineered to generate maximum propulsion while minimizing energy loss. They play a crucial role in the propulsion system of watercraft and are essential for their maneuverability and speed.

    When was MEBA founded? - ProProfs

    When was MEBA founded?

    • 1830

    • 1875

    • 1900

    • 1914

    Correct Answer
    A. 1875
    Explanation
    MEBA (Marine Engineers' Beneficial Association) was founded in 1875. This organization was established to represent the interests of marine engineers and promote their welfare. It has played a crucial role in advocating for the rights and working conditions of marine engineers throughout its history.

    Who first created a steam powered engine to pump water out of mines? - ProProfs

    Who first created a steam powered engine to pump water out of mines?

    • Archimedes

    • Thomas Newcomen

    • Robert Fulton

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. None of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is None of the above because the first steam-powered engine to pump water out of mines was actually invented by Thomas Savery in 1698. Archimedes was a Greek mathematician and inventor who lived in ancient times and did not create a steam-powered engine. Thomas Newcomen and Robert Fulton both made important contributions to steam engine technology, but they were not the first to create a steam-powered engine specifically for pumping water out of mines.
