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.(a)
Sol. The plate bearing test is used to determine the supporting power of subgrade for used in pavement design. Plate bearing test was originally devised to find the modulus of subgrade reaction in the westergaards analysis for wheel load stress in cement concrete pavements.
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol.
S7. Ans.(c)
Sol.
C=1000V/S
S=0.2 V+5.0
2000=(1000×V)/(0.2V+5)
400 V+10,000=1000 V
10,000=600 V
▭(V=16.66 m\/sec)
Traffic capacity = speed × density
1000=16.66×density
▭(density=60 Vechile\/km)
S8. Ans.(c)
Sol.
S9. Ans.(a)
Sol.
S10. Ans.(d)
Sol. specific speed of a pump is given by,
▭(N_s=(N√Q)/(Hm)^(3\/4) )
