A full-scale working model of a design that is used to test a concept is called a ___.
- A.
Mock-up
- B.
Prototype
- C.
Scale model
- D.
CAD model
Correct Answer
B. PrototypeExplanation
A prototype is a full-scale working model of a design that is used to test a concept. It allows designers to evaluate and refine their ideas before moving on to production. Prototypes can be physical models or virtual representations created using computer-aided design (CAD) software. They are essential for identifying design flaws, improving functionality, and gathering feedback from stakeholders.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not a physical property?
- A.
Mass
- B.
Density
- C.
Height
- D.
Weight
Correct Answer
C. HeightExplanation
Height is not considered a physical property because it is a measure of distance or length, which is a dimensional quantity rather than a physical property. Physical properties are characteristics of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's chemical composition, such as mass, density, and weight. Height, on the other hand, is a measurement of how tall or high something is and does not provide information about the inherent properties of a substance.Rate this question:

A drum cylinder serves as a storage vessel for used grease at a restaurant. The cylinder has a height of 3.25 feet and a diameter of 2.0 ft. What is the volume of the cylinder?
- A.
20.41 cubic feet
- B.
10.205 cubic feet
- C.
5.1625 cubic feet
- D.
10.205 square feet
Correct Answer
B. 10.205 cubic feetExplanation
The volume of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height. In this case, the diameter is given as 2.0 ft, so the radius is 1.0 ft. The height is given as 3.25 ft. Plugging these values into the formula, we get V = π(1.0^2)(3.25) = 10.205 cubic feet. Therefore, the correct answer is 10.205 cubic feet.Rate this question:

A concrete slab has a width of 7.5 ft, a depth of 4.2 ft, and a height of 0.5 ft. What is the surface area of the slab?
- A.
37.35 square feet
- B.
74.7 square feet
- C.
15.75 square feet
- D.
31.5 feet
Correct Answer
B. 74.7 square feetExplanation
The surface area of the slab can be calculated by finding the area of each face and then adding them together. The slab has six faces: the top, bottom, front, back, left side, and right side. The area of each face can be found by multiplying the width by the height.
The area of the top and bottom faces is 7.5 ft * 4.2 ft = 31.5 square feet each.
The area of the front and back faces is 7.5 ft * 0.5 ft = 3.75 square feet each.
The area of the left and right side faces is 4.2 ft * 0.5 ft = 2.1 square feet each.
Adding all the areas together, we get 31.5 + 31.5 + 3.75 + 3.75 + 2.1 + 2.1 = 74.7 square feet. Therefore, the correct answer is 74.7 square feet.Rate this question:

Which of these is not a reason to perform reverse engineering on a product?
- A.
Visual, structural and Functional analysis
- B.
Discovery and Investigation
- C.
Product Improvement
- D.
Marketing Analysis
Correct Answer
D. Marketing AnalysisExplanation
Reverse engineering is the process of deconstructing a product to understand its design, functionality, and components. It is commonly performed for reasons such as visual, structural, and functional analysis, discovery and investigation, and product improvement. However, marketing analysis is not a reason to perform reverse engineering on a product. Marketing analysis typically involves studying market trends, consumer behavior, and competition to make informed marketing decisions, which does not require reverse engineering.Rate this question:

What type of three-dimensional sketch contains a combination of a flat orthographic front view, with depth lines receding back at an angle, usually 45 degrees?
- A.
Two-point perspective
- B.
Oblique pictorial
- C.
Isometric pictorial
- D.
Orthographic projection
Correct Answer
B. Oblique pictorialExplanation
An oblique pictorial is a type of three-dimensional sketch that combines a flat orthographic front view with depth lines receding back at an angle, usually 45 degrees. This type of sketch provides a realistic representation of an object by showing its front face in true shape and size, while also showing depth and perspective. It is different from other options such as two-point perspective, isometric pictorial, and orthographic projection, which have their own distinct characteristics and methods of representing three-dimensional objects.Rate this question:

What could be added to a three dimensional sketch to enhance its appearance?
- A.
Hidden lines
- B.
Tonal shading
- C.
Dimensions
- D.
Center lines
Correct Answer
B. Tonal shadingExplanation
Tonal shading could be added to a three-dimensional sketch to enhance its appearance. Tonal shading involves adding different shades of gray or color to create the illusion of depth and form. By adding tonal shading, the sketch becomes more realistic and visually appealing, as it helps to define the light and shadow areas, giving the objects in the sketch a three-dimensional appearance.Rate this question:

The wood block below has a height of 2 inches. What would the block’s height be if you converted it to millimeters?
- A.
2.00 mm
- B.
2.54 mm
- C.
51.0 mm
- D.
76.0 mm
Correct Answer
C. 51.0 mmExplanation
To convert inches to millimeters, we need to multiply the number of inches by 25.4. Since the wood block has a height of 2 inches, when we multiply 2 by 25.4, we get 51.0 mm. Therefore, the block's height would be 51.0 mm if it were converted to millimeters.Rate this question:

A quality control technician has requested a statistical analysis on a manufactured part. What is the median value from the following set of data? Data Set: 75, 72, 82, 77, 73, 69, 80
- A.
73
- B.
75
- C.
76
- D.

Correct Answer
B. 75Explanation
The median value is the middle value in a set of data when the data is arranged in ascending or descending order. In this case, the data set is already arranged in ascending order: 69, 72, 73, 75, 77, 80, 82. Since there are an odd number of values (7), the median value would be the value in the middle, which is 75.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 3Explanation
Based on the given information, the postal service has a weight limit of 20 pounds per package. The bike frame has a mass of 5.67 pounds. To determine the maximum number of bike frames that can be shipped in one box, we divide the weight limit by the mass of each bike frame. 20 pounds / 5.67 pounds = 3.52. Since we cannot have a fraction of a bike frame, the maximum number of bike frames that can be shipped in one box is 3. Therefore, the correct answer is 3.Rate this question:
