Solutions
S1. Ans (b)
Sol. Constant volume process is called isochoric process or iso-metric process.
S2. Ans (d)
Sol. Brayton Cycle is a gas power plant cycle in which there are four processes.
a-Isentropic compression
b-Constant pressure heat addition
c-Isentropic expansion
d- Constant pressure heat rejection
S3. Ans (b)
Sol. → Condition of equilibrium of floating and submerged bodies
Condition Submerged body Floating body
Stable B is above G M is above B and G
Unstable B is below G M is below G
Neutral B and G coincide M and G coincide
S4. Ans (a)
Sol. As Nut rotate as well as slide on the surface of the screw thread but both the motion are dependent on each other, so it is a lower pair.
S5. Ans.(a)
Fig.
Sol. from Lami’s theorem
1/sin150 = F/sin〖60°〗
F = sin〖60°〗/sin〖150°〗
F = √3 N
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. Tool wear has following sequence in the different machining processes.
ECM<EDM<USM
S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. Gun metal has 88 copper ,8-10% tin and 2-4% zinc. It is mainly used for making gun.
S8. Ans.(d)
Sol. In window AC capillary tube is used as an expansion device and expansion in the capillary tube is throttling process which is an isenthalpic process.
S9. Ans.(d)
Sol. We know,
Weight of the water displaced=Buoyancy on body= (weight of body in air – weight of body in water)
=80-30
=50 N
S10. Ans (c)
Sol.
Let speed of river is v and speed of boat in still river is u and total distance covered either side is 30 km.
Given,
For Downstream flow-
30×1000/(u+v)=10×60
u+v=50……….(1)
For up-stream flow-
30×1000/(u-v)=20×60
u-v=25………..(2)
Solving equation (1) and (2)..
Speed of river (v)=12.5 m/s
