Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam

If a train is traveling at 55 m/s at its maximum acceleration and takes 2 minutes to reach 70 m/s, how long would it take for the train to stop when traveling at 40 m/s, if it can decelerate four times faster than it can accelerate?
60 s

An engineer is designing the runway for an airport. The lowest rate at which the planes using this runway can accelerate is 4 m/s. Based upon a takeoff speed of 65 m/s, what is the minimum length of the runway?

The external work done by a pump that delivers 2,500 cubic meters of water per hour against a total head of 5.9 meters is most nearly:

When determining the strength of commercial materials using the testing techniques of the American Society for Testing Materials, the American Iron and Steel Institute, or the Society of Automotive Engineers, the results of the common tensile test are used to determine the material characteristics listed below EXCEPT:

To measure the muzzle velocity of a bullet fired from a rifle, two cardboard discs were mounted on a long axle which was rotated at constant speed. The discs were one meter apart along the axle which was rotating at a speed of 3,000 rpm. The rifle was mounted parallel to the axle and fired toward the discs. The resulting bullet hole in the second disc was displaced 20 degrees with respect to the hole in the first disc. The muzzle velocity was most nearly:

If the sum of $12,000 is borrowed and the debtor is obligated to pay the creditor $900 for each year the loan is in existence, then, the simple interest is most nearly:

The statement of those given below which is NOT CORRECT is:

A car travels around a curve of radius 200 m at a speed of 14 m/s and the force produced by the tires is 965 N. Calculate the car�s weight.

A curve of a road has a radius of 50 m. What is the correct banking angle required to eliminate the frictional force for vehicles traveling around this curve at a speed of 10 m/s?

A Cannon is located on the roof of a building 60 m high. The cannon fires a projectile at 25 m/s at an angle of 53 degrees above the horizontal. The projectile lands on the ground at what horizontal distance from the point it was fired? Effects of air resistance can be ignored.
