Solution
S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. given, natural frequency, ω_n=20 rad\/s
Withstand capability or maximum acceleration (a) = 4
Amplitude (δ)= ?
For SHM,
Withstand capability (a) = δω_n^2
δ=4/400
δ=0.01 m
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. for critical damping ▭(ς=1)
It is used to predicts the nature of vibration.
S3. Ans (b)
Sol. As we know that no bending moment acts on the joints in a truss, only horizontal and vertical component of forces should be zero for equilibrium.
S4. Ans (b)
Sol. As motor car will try to go outward due to centrifugal force then more pressure is exerted on the outer wheels as compared to the inner wheels.
S5. Ans (d)
Sol. Young’s modulus is defined as the ratio of longitudinal stress and longitudinal strain.
i.e. ?=??
S6. Ans (a)
Sol. Poisson’s ratio for the following material will be as given below-
A. Rubber 0.45−0.5
B. Brass 0.34
C. Grey cast iron 0.25
D. Steel 0.27−0.3
S7. Ans (b)
Sol.
We know that UTS of specimen=(maximum load observed)/(original cross-section area of specimen)
UTS=(100×10^3)/(1×10^(-4) )
UTS=1000 MPa
S8. Ans (c)
Sol. Chances of plastic deformation is negligible for a rotating shaft if the system is balanced.
S9. Ans.(b)
Sol. Given,
S=5
l=10
p=8
q=9
s+l =15
p+q=18
Hence, s+l<p+q
And shortest link is fixed.
So, according to Grashoff’s inequality or law this is a double- crank mechanism,
S10. Ans.(c)
Sol.
we know that,
Coriolis acceleration a_c=2wv —————— (1)
w=2πN/60
=(2π×60)/60=2π rad/s
V = 10 cm/s
a_c=2wv
=2×2π×10
