Solutions

S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. From theorem of continuity
A_1 V_1=A_2 V_2
π/4 d_1^2.V_1= π/4 d_2^2.V_2
d_1^2.V_1=d_2^2.V_2
(0.30)^2.2=(0.20)^2 XY_2
4.5m\/ sec⁡〖= V_2 〗

S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. By torsion equation –
T/J=τ/R=Gθ/L
Torque (τ) x Applied torsion (T)
τ α 1/J
J= Polar moment of Inertia

S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Coefficient of earth pressure at rest (K_o )
▭(K_o=μ/(1-μ))
For sand ▭(K_o=1-sinϕ)

S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Given
Duty = 864 hectare/cumec
Base period = 120 days
∆= ?
Relation between duty and delta is, ∆ = 8.64 B/D
= 8.64×120/864
= 1.2 m.or 120 cm

S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. Given, length of wheel base (l) = 7m
Radius (R) = 490m.
No. of lanes (n) = 2
mechanical widening W_me = (nl^2)/2R
= (2×(7)^2)/(2×490) = 0.1

S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. Shear reinforcement in RCC beam is provided to resist diagonal tension. Stirrups is provided in the beam for shear reinforcement. At corner spacing between stirrups decreases and increase towards center.
