(b) b×d
(c) l × b
(d) l×d/2
Solutions
S1. Ans. (a)
Sol Damping factor is the ratio of damping coefficient (c) and critical damping coefficient (Cc)
Damping factor, ς=C/c_c
ς<1,Underdampad system
ς = 1, critically damped system
ς > 1, over damped system
S2. Ans. (b)
Sol. differential gear mechanism works on the principle of epicycle gear train.
When the car is on a straight road, the ring gear, differential cage, differential pinion gear and two differential side gears all tum as a unit. The two differential pinion gears do not rotate on the pinion shaft; therefore, they exert equal force on the two differential side gears. As a result, the side gears turn at same speed as the ring gear, which causes both the drive wheels to turn at same speed. However, when the car begins to round a curve, the differential pinion gears rotate on the pinion shaft. This permits the outer wheel to turn faster than the inner wheel.
S3. Ans. (d)
Sol.
Propulsive efficiency is maximum when jet velocity (C_j )= forward velocity of aircraft (C_a)
Now thrust power = (C_j-C_a ) C_a=0
i.e. at maximum efficiency thrust power is zero.
S4. Ans. (a)
Sol.
Q=kA(T_1-T_2 )/l
=(0.5×2×50)/0.25=200 W
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Bearings…………..Impregnation
S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. When an ordering cost is increased to 4 times, the EOQ will be increased to 2 times.
S6. Ans. (c)
Sol. Shearing area of key = Length (l) × Breadth (b) = l × b
