- You have a bowling ball in a boat then you drop it off the side and it sinks to the bottom. Will the water in the pool rise or fall? - You have two bowling balls that are identical on the outside and weigh the same on the top of an inclined ramp. One is hollow and one is solid. You let both of them roll down the ramp. Which one will reach the bottom first? - How would you reduce the deflection of a simply supported beam? - A pinned beam supported by a line that has an apple logo hanging from it. How would you reduce the stress in the line? - Lots of questions about how I used data analysis to make design decisions in my projects in my portfolio. - You have a 5 gallon jug and a 3 gallon jug and a hose that supplies endless water. You want to put 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug. How can you put 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug? (not an apple interview question but figured it might be helpful)
