Solutions
S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. Distemper is used to coat interior surface not exposed to weather. It is made with base as white chalk and thinner as water.
S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. White lead is used as base for timber painting.
S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. Pigments is used to hide the surface irregularities and imparts desired color to paints.
S4. Ans.(c)
Sol.
S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. Wrinkling → These are the hair line cracks on small area of painted surface.
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. Bakelite is a type of plastic which is used as non-conductive material.
S7. Ans.(b)
Sol. Color pigment is added in the manufacturing of glass at the stage of fusion.
S8. Ans.(a)
Sol. Diameter = 18 mm
Ultimate load = 9.0 ton
Tensile stress = (9.0 ton)/(π/4×18²)
= 0.035 ton/mm²
S9. Ans.(b)
Sol. (i) Pcr=π²EI/Le²
Both end’s fixed
Le = L/2
Pcr_1=(π^2 EJ×4)/L² -(i)
(ii) both end’s pinned
Le= L
Pcr_2=π²EI/L² -(ii)
(Pcr_1)/(Pcr_2 )=((π^2 EI×4)/L^2 )/((π^2 EI)/L^2 )
= 4
S10. Ans.(b)
Sol. → Rankines Gorden formula used to find out buckling load of medium column.
→ Euler formula used for calculating buckling load of long column.
