Solutions
S1. Ans (a)
Sol. Crystal structure of brass is Face centered cubic (FCC). In this structure, one atom is situated at each corner of the unit cell along with one atom at each face of it.
S2. Ans (b)
Sol. There are following properties of aluminium-
Good corrosion resistance due to oxide film formation.
Low fatigue strength because of high ductility.
Modulus of elasticity is low.
Poor wear resistance due to low hardness.
Good thermal and electrical conductivity.
S3. Ans (c)
Sol. Atomic packing factor=(Total volume of atoms)/(Volume of unit cell)
Atomic packing factor of Body cantered tetragonal (BCT) Diamond is 0.34.
S4. Ans (b)
Sol. Given,
Kinematic viscosity (ϑ)= 3 centistoke
Density= 0.9×1000=900 kg/m^3
We know, Kinematic viscosity (ϑ)=μ/ρ
Dynamic viscosity (μ)= ϑ. Ρ
μ=3 x 10^(-2)x10^(-4)x900
μ=2.7 x 10^(-3) Pa-s
S5. Ans (b)
Sol.
There are two exposed surfaces of soap bubble as shown in figure.
We know,
Work done in blowing up a soap bubble (W)=Surface tension (σ) x Surface area (A)
W= σ x 4πr^2 x 2
W=0.01 x 4π〖(3.5)〗^2 x 2 x 10^(-4)
W=3.07 x 10^(-4) Joule
S6. Ans (c)
Sol. If θ is angle of inclination,
Sensitivity of inclined manometer(S)=1/sinθ
If θ=30°
Then Sensitivity (S_(θ=30))= 1/sinθ=1/sin30=2
If θ=60°
Then Sensitivity (S_(θ=60))= 1/sinθ=1/sin60=2/√3
% Decrease in sensitivity=(S_(θ=30)-S_(θ=60))/S_(θ=30) =(2-2/√3)/2×100=42.26% or 43%
S7. Ans (c)
Sol. We know that
From Archimedes’ principle,
Weight of the floating body=weight of the liquid displaced
If x part of the body is in the liquid, volume of the body is V, Density of water is ρw, Density of body is ρ_b , then x.V.ρ(w.)g = V.ρb.g 0.8 x ρ(w.)= ρ_b
ρ_b= 0.8 x 1000
ρ_b=800 kg/m^3
S8. Ans (c)
Sol. We know that
Coefficient of contraction (C_c)=(Area of vena-contracta〖(A〗_c))/(Area of orifice〖(A〗_o))
C_c=(d_c^2)/(d_o^2 )=20^2/40^2
C_c=1/4=0.25
S9. Ans (b)
Sol. Screw is made of Carbon steel and Nut is made of phosphorus bronze or cast iron (for low speed).
S10. Ans (b)
Sol. For Butt weld joint,
Size of weld=throat of weld=thickness of plate
