SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans(b)
Sol. Dual cycle is the cycle in which heat addition will take place not only at constant volume but at constant pressure also.
S2. Ans(c)
Sol. As we know that the fictitious pressure is known as by the name of MEAN EFFECTIVE PRRESSURE.
WORK DONE = (MEAN EFFECTIVE PRESSURE) x (SWEPT VOLUME)
S3. Ans(c)
Sol.
S4. Ans(a)
Sol.
S5. Ans(a)
Sol. Crushing strength of plate/rivet crushing failure of the plate/rivet. This type of failure occurs when the compressive stress between the shank of the rivet and the plate exceeds the yield stress in compression. The failure results in elongating the rivet hole in the plate and loosening of the joint.
S6. Ans(b)
Sol. For ductile material MDET result is best.
S7. Ans(a)
Sol.
S8. Ans(d)
Sol. Reverted gear train is that compound gear train, which is used to connect co-axial shafts
S9. Ans(b)
Sol. In involute profile tooth, because of the involute property to be satisfied, pressure angle does not change with point of contact position.
S10. Ans(a)
Sol. The maximum energy which can be stored in a body upto elastic limit, is called proof resilience
