SOLUTION
S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. Bleeding→ Separation of water from a freshly mixed concrete is called bleeding.
Segregation→ Separation of coarse aggregates from mortar during transportation is called segregation. Due to segregation voids in concrete increased and strength of concrete decreased.
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. Accelerators are the chemicals used to accelerate the setting and hardening of concrete. Calcium chloride is used an accelerator that increase the rate of hydration.
S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. → The pressure inside in a hollow soap bubble in the air is 8σ/d.
→ The pressure inside in water droplet is 4σ/d.
→ The pressure inside in liquid jet is 2σ/d.
Where, d = diameter
σ= Surface tension
S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. Given,
Weight of liquid (W) = 3000 kg
Volume of liquid (V) = 4 m³
Density of liquid (ρ) =W/V=3000/4 = 750 kg/m³
Specific gravity (G) = (Density of liquid (ρ))/(Density of water(ρ_w ) )
=750/1000
=0.75
S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. The properties of stream function are-
→ Ψ is constant everywhere on any stream line.
→ The rate of change of Ψ with distance in an arbitrary direction, is proportional to the component of velocity normal to that direction.
→ The flow around any path in the fluid is zero for continuous flow.
→ The velocity vector may be found by differentiating the stream function.
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. Tie lines → A line which joins subsidiary stations on the main line. These lines are helpful for locating the inner details of the area.
