Solutions
S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. The frictional resistance of a pipe varies approximately as the square of the velocity of flow. It can be calculated as ∆P=(fLV^2)/(d.2g)
S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. We know that
Shear stress (τ)=μ(v/L)
Hence, unit of viscosity (μ) = N-sec/m^2
S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. We know that
dM/dX=F
For maximum bending moment (Mmax) at any section, dM/dX=0
So, Shear Force (F) = 0
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. The condenser and evaporator tubes in a Freon refrigeration plant are made of copper alloy.
S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. Factor of safety is the ratio of ultimate stress to working stress.
Factor of safety=(Ultimate stress)/(Working stress)
S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. The value of frictional force is equal to the external force applied until it starts to move.
Maximum frictional force (F) =μN
Here, μ= static coefficient of friction
N= Normal force
S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. Regenerator is a device that is used to heat up compressed gases by exhaust gases (if the temperature of turbine outlet is higher than that of compressor outlet). By adding a regenerator in a gas turbine cycle, efficiency of gas turbine cycle increases due to increase in mean temperature of heat addition and decrease in mean temperature of heat rejection.
S8. Ans.(b)
Sol. The volumetric efficiency of a compressor is,
η=1+C-C(P2/P1)^(1/n)
By increasing compressor ratio, the volumetric efficiency will decrease.
S9. Ans.(b)
Sol. The law of parallelogram of forces gives the resultant of two co-planar concurrent forces.
S10. Ans.(d)
Sol. When the two forces acted on a particle and the particle is in equilibrium position, then the forces should be equal and opposite and hence, angle between the forces is 180°.
