Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering is a branch of engineering that encompasses the generation and application of heat and mechanical power and the design, production, and use of machines and tools. Mechanical engineering involves application of the principles of dynamics, control, thermodynamics and heat transfer, fluid mechanics, strength of materials, materials science, electronics, and mathematics.

Why does the different layers of plywood go in different directions?
The plywood has more stiffness in one direction than it does in the other.
How do you put on landing legs on a semi step deck trailer?
They're bolt-on components. You'll need an impact wrench, and a torque wrench to ensure that you torqued the bolts properly (which is very important, given the function of the landing gear).
What are the three main functions that gears perform in a mechanical system?
Transmit rotation, power, and change "input to output" ratio's.
What are the good things and bad things about mechanical engineer?
One bad thing about mechanical energy is its very slow. But we are being green by using it because we do not use nonrenewable resources.
P.S. I know that's not the question!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How do you make a triangular screwdriver?
This question doesn't state where or why a triangular screwdriver is needed, so this may just be a "wind-up" or "troll" question.
It is is very unusual to need a screwdriver with a triangular-shaped tip!
Anyway here's how it may be possible to do it:
Grind the tip of a normal screwdriver to a point using a suitable power grinder.
Then place the shaft along a suitable heavy piece of steel - such as an off-cut of railroad rail placed upon a solid floor or a very strong workbench, or similar - and try to flatten the shaft of the screwdriver to get a triangular cross-section (with 3 long edges) by using a suitable heavy hammer.
If the shaft doesn't "take" the hammering you will first have to anneal the shaft of the screwdriver by heating it up to red heat and then let it cool in the air slowly. To be sure it gets the best chance of annealing fully, don't "quench" it by using water or an air line to try and cool it down more quickly.
Then try hammering it to the triangular shape you want. If will be very tricky to do because as soon as you hammer the opposite side to the "sharp" side of the triangular cross-section, you will find you flatten-out the sharp side! One way to avoid that happening would be to machine a V-shaped groove of suitable depth into a a piece of steel and then hammer the shaft into the groove. But, to be able make that groove, you would need to know how to use the right kind of machinery - such as a shaping machine or a milling machine - and, if you already had that kind of machinery available to you, you would not be asking this question here!
After you have hammered the shaft into a triangular cross-section - assuming you find you really can do it! - you must then harden the shaft again by heating it up to red heat and then quench it as quickly as possible by plunging it into a large bucket of cold water.
If you don't harden it properly before you try to use it as a screwdriver, the shaft will just twist around and around because it is too soft!
Good luck!
State of varying the rotational speed of machinery?
Power output will increase. Beyond the critical speed, torsional failure may occur.

The main purposes of an airspeed indicator in an aircraft?
The primary purpose of an airspeed indicator in an aircraft is to give the pilot some sense of how fast the aircraft is moving. A pitot tube, which is a forward pointing hollow tube that is mounted on the plane, is pressurized by the force of the air the plane encounters as it flies. This air pressure is compared to a static reference, and the difference is proportional to the airspeed. The faster the plane moves, the higher the pressure in the pitot tube, and the greater the difference between that and the reference. All that will result in higher indicated air speed. There are some issues associated with the accuracy of the system (like when the plane is flying into a headwind), and information on that and more detail in general can be found by using the link to Wikipedia. The pictures are informative, and a reader can pick up a handful of specialized terms relating to the device and the principles upon which it operates.
Answer
The airspeed indicator provides the pilot with an indication of relative airspeed -- or how fast the aircraft is moving relative to the air in which it is flying. This is important to a pilot because it is relative airspeed that affects the performance of the airplane. If airspeed gets too low, the plane will stall; if airspeed gets too high, the plane will suffer structural damage/failure. By monitoring airspeed, and making necessary control adjustments, a pilot ensures that the airplane performs as designed. Fortunately, aircraft are designed -- and pilots are trained -- such that these extreme cases are routinely avoidable.

Can you torque 8.8 grade steel?
Of course! Grade 8.8 fasteners are often refered to as "high tensile" fasteners where "8.8" refers to the tensile yield strength of 640MPa (UTS: 800MPa) and standard torque figure calculations apply based on bolt diameter (root diameter of thread), grade (8.8 in this case), 90% Yield strength and adjusted for surface finish and lubrication. Refer to engineering handbooks or good ol' google.
