Can you be an engineer if you are good at math but a bad writer?
It is not at all abnormal for an engineer to be good at math but bad at writing because one who is good at math tends to do problems in his own less time consuming way. In this process he deviates from his good writing skills (if he has any), to reach the solution
However it is extraordinary for an engineer to be both good at math and writing and abnormal for being bad at both!
What is glass point of material?
The glass point of a material, also known as the glass transition temperature (Tg), is the temperature range at which a polymer or amorphous material transitions from a hard and relatively brittle state into a more flexible and rubbery state. Below this temperature, the material exhibits glass-like properties with limited molecular mobility, while above it, increased molecular motion allows for greater flexibility. This transition is crucial in determining the thermal and mechanical behavior of materials, particularly in polymers and glasses.
Formula to Convert 1700 nm to bar?
Generally, NM (Newton Meter) is a force times the length of the arm. Bar is Pressure (force per unit of area). The conversion is not possible to calculate because of the difference in extensions (NM or N/m²).
However, in engine design the load of the engine can be given in bar (cylinder pressure) but converted into torque (N-m) by the following conversion: Cylinder Pressure (bar) =
Torque (N-m) * nrev * 2 * pi / Cylinder displacement (cubic meters) / 100,000
where: nrev = number of revolutions per cycle (2 for a 4-stroke engine, 1 for a 2-stroke)

How to make Elastic Band Powered Car?
You build a basic car, with a body and a way to support the front wheels and the back wheels.
Each set of wheels should be firmly attached to an axle, maybe a piece of dowel, so
that when the axle turns, so do the wheels.
Then you need some way to
attach the end of a strong rubber band to the middle of each axle so that
when you rotate the wheels, the rubber band winds around the axle and
stretches tight.
You can do this with a small nail or screw put carefully
through the dowel. The best way to wind the wheels is probably to push down
on the car while you push the car along a surface, like carpet.
once the rubber band is really tight,
you let the car go, and the stored energy in the rubber band unwinds the
axle, and off goes the car
You don't have to have the band wind around
both axles ... you could make it either just frontal drive or
rear-wheel drive, but it probably goes better if you use both axles.
You
could also use two rubber bands, one for the front wheels and one for the
back wheels, with the ends of each rubber band fixed to the middle of the
car.
Remember, the car will go fastest and the most distance if you use a
really BIG strong rubber band, and can wind it up around the axles really
really tight. But if you make it TOO tight or too strong, the car or the axles might break when you wind it up, which is not good and really annoying.
Another way of making a car like this is to make it like the rubber-band
powered toy airplanes. Make a light frame with 4 wheels, and buy a little
toy propeller or take it off a toy airplane, then wind up the rubber band
by winding the propeller. Then when you let go the propeller, it will drive
the car along.
Why do most hydraulic systems use oil instead of water?
The short answer: Cost effectiveness.
The long answer: Employing water as a hydraulic fluid is entirely possible for many applications, but produces several additional challenges which will dramatically and likely prohibitively raise the price of the apparatus. For most applications, the higher costs will represent an unmarketable product.
The issues include:
Viscosity: Water has a much lower viscosity and higher specific gravity than hydraulic oil. This results in at least 3 other issues. First, the piston and cylinder materials (usually steel) will erode much quicker due to the resulting higher velocity and more turbulent flow. Second, the use of special valves will be required to prevent the mechanical shock caused by abrupt fluid flow stoppage inherent to water. Third, the lower viscosity also means it will be more difficult to prevent leaks, requiring more stringently machined parts with much finer tolerances.
Bacteria: A closed water system can provide a breeding ground for all kinds of microorganisms. This can result in clogged lines, filters and a potentially unsafe/unhealthy condition in the event of a leak.
Corrosion: Oxygen in the water as well as sulfurous by-products from bacteria can potentially corrode component materials.
Temperature Range: Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. If freezing occurs, and due to the non-compressible nature of ice, it will almost certainly damage or destroy hydraulic parts. Anti-freeze agents will need to be utilized at the cost of the inherent environmental and toxicity concerns of such substances.
Lubricity: Water's comparatively low lubricity will lead to increased contact friction and resulting wear of components.
All of these issues can be addressed and overcome, with the disadvantage of dramatically higher cost vs. hydraulic oil.
used for making stuff like childrens toys etc
Softwood has a huge range of applications: it is the primary material used for building components, and is also found in furniture and other products such as millwork (mouldings, doors, windows). Softwood is also used in the production of paper, and for various types of board such as MDF (medium-density fiberboard). The finer softwoods have many special uses.
they are used for making window frames,doors,frames,t.v. stands,flooring and beds. people use these all the time actually even to make toys for children.

How chemical engineers engineer energy?
A chemical engineer is required in energy systems across various segments such as oil and gas sector, fuel cell sector, water technology sector, next generation hydrogen energy sector, atomic and nuclear energy sector, biofuels sector, cryogenic and ultra low temperature energy production sector and so on. The chemical engineer will design processes and provide operating conditions for generating commercial energy from the above mentioned sources such as hydrogen, nuclear, biofuels, oil&gas and maybe even in thermal power plants. Chemical engineers will give energy production strategies from various above-mentioned sources.
How are sound and surface waves longitudinal waves?
Because the vibrations of both the waves travel parallel to the direction of propagation of waves. For eg: both the waves have amplitude, frequency etc.
What is the advantages of using Thevenin Theorem?
Thevenin's Theorem is especially useful in analyzing power systems and other circuits where one particular resistor in the circuit (called the "load" resistor) is subject to change, and re-calculation of the circuit is necessary with each trial value of load resistance, to determine voltage across it and current through it.
What are the classes of Fire extingishers?
Class A fires (paper, wood plastic, etc) can be put out by water, dry chem, or carbon dioxide extinguishers. Class B (flammable liquids like oils and natural gases) can be put out with dry chem and carbon dioxide. Class C (electrical fires) can be put out only by dry chem. Dry chem is the only extinguisher that does all three of them however it is not recommended on Class A fires because it is not useful in putting out sparks.
Can a 3 phase 440v welding machine be changed to 220v residential power input?
Some 3-phase machinery can be adapted for use in a 2-phase system using a phase-shifting capacitor (See the related link for a (German) Wikipedia article about the Steinmetz circuit for details).
However, a welding transformer is likely to draw too much power and thus be unsuitable for this trick. It will probably be cheaper to install a 3-phase connector in the residential home (many houses have 3 phases installed at the meter board), or to load a welding transformer for use with a single-phase residential system (if this is for a single occasion).
Who wrote this quote Give you a lever and a place to stand and you can move the world?
According to Pappus of Alexandria, Archimedes' work on levers caused him to remark:
'δῶς μοι πᾶ στῶ καὶ τὰν γᾶν κινάσω'
which translates from Greek as:
'Give me a place to stand on and I will move the world.'
Therefore, the answer is Archimedes of Syracuse.

What method do engineers use to communicate an objects dimmensional information?
a 3d drawing with dimensions...or a series of 2d drawings with dimensions, sections, and plan views.
Usually the type of 3d drawing is an isometric - coming from Greek Isos ("equal") and metric ("measure"). In an isometric drawing, the object's horizontal lines are drawn 30 degrees to the horizontal, and all co-planar, co-directional lines are drawn parallel (as opposed to perspective drawings in which an object appears to get smaller the farther away from you it gets). The dimensions are just enough to adequately recreate the object, none missing to leave room for guessing.
Dimensions are made up of extension lines and dimension lines. The extension lines extend from the object, usually starting 1/16" or so from the edge of the object itself. The dimension lines have any of a number of types of arrowheads and are drawn between the extension lines, usually with the dimension centered within the dimension line.

Can an oil fired furnace be run off a generator?
If you have an older one with a standing pilot light, one that is on all the time, you probably can. I've been told that the newer ones with electric ignition are a problem. They have electronic parts that don't like generators and will short out the circuit boards. This is from a Heating and Air guy so I tend to believe it.

How many diagonals does a concave hexagon have?
A concave Hexagon is that hexagon which has one of its internal angle greater than 180 degrees. It can have 8 diagonals. As compared to regular hexagon (Also convex hexagon) it has one less number of diagonals. This is because one line joining two of its vertices (that are at the end of sides forming >180 angle) fall outside the hexagon.
