Sources for Comparison (Design or Engineering)

Hi All;

Does anybody know a book or anything related for designers or engineers that compared everyday things to scientific principle or design rules? For example: 1 Newton=1 medium size apple, for max strength of hold for fasterner make hole depth= 1.5X bolt diameter...etc.

This is for people who have the theories but lack common sense, uses as base of comparison to everyday things. I hope you know what I mean.

Thanks

Do
