    The process of joining similar or dissimilar materials by heating them below 450o C using non-ferrous filler material is called as ______

    • Brazing

    • Welding

    • Soldering

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Soldering
    Explanation
    Soldering is the process of joining similar or dissimilar materials by heating them below 450o C using non-ferrous filler material. This process involves melting the filler material, known as solder, and applying it to the joint, where it solidifies and forms a bond between the materials. Unlike welding, soldering does not require the base materials to be melted, making it suitable for delicate or heat-sensitive components. Brazing is a similar process, but it involves heating the materials to a higher temperature, typically above 450o C. Therefore, the correct answer is soldering.

  • 11. 

    At forging temperature when a compressive force is applied on the material, it deforms

    •  elastically in the direction of least resistance

    • Elastically in the direction of maximum resistance

    • Plastically in the direction of least resistance

    • Plastically in the direction of maximum resistance

    Correct Answer
    A.  elastically in the direction of least resistance
    Explanation
    When a compressive force is applied on a material at forging temperature, it deforms elastically in the direction of least resistance. This means that the material will temporarily change shape under the applied force, but it will return to its original shape once the force is removed. The direction of least resistance refers to the path that offers the least resistance to the applied force, causing the material to deform in that direction. This elastic deformation is reversible and does not result in a permanent change in the material's shape.

    Which of the following operations is/are performed on a lathe machine?

    • Spot-facing

    • Parting

    • Reaming

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Parting
    Explanation
    Parting is a machining operation performed on a lathe machine. It involves cutting a workpiece into two separate parts by using a narrow cutting tool called a parting tool. This operation is commonly used to create grooves, cut off excess material, or separate the workpiece into multiple sections. Spot-facing and reaming, on the other hand, are not typically performed on a lathe machine. Spot-facing is usually done on milling machines, while reaming is a drilling operation. Therefore, the correct answer is parting as it is the only operation mentioned that is performed on a lathe machine.

    Thermal efficiency of S.I. engines is low, due to ____

    •  low compression ratio

    •  high compression ratio 

    • Medium compression ratio 

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A.  low compression ratio
    Explanation
    The thermal efficiency of S.I. engines is low due to the low compression ratio. A low compression ratio means that the air-fuel mixture is not compressed as much before ignition, leading to incomplete combustion and lower efficiency. Higher compression ratios allow for better combustion and therefore higher thermal efficiency. Medium or high compression ratios would result in better efficiency, but the given answer specifically states that the thermal efficiency is low due to a low compression ratio.

    • Perpendicular planes

    Correct Answer
    A. One point
    Explanation
    Concurrent forces are defined as forces that act on a common point or have their lines of action intersecting at a single point. This means that the forces are applied from different directions but meet at a single point, resulting in a combined effect at that point. Therefore, the correct answer is "one point".

    If two equal forces of magnitude P act at an angle 9°, their resultant will be_______

    • P/2 cos 9/2

    •  P sin 9/2

    •  2P tan 9/2

    • P cos (9/2)

    Correct Answer
    A. P cos (9/2)
    Explanation
    When two equal forces of magnitude P act at an angle of 9°, their resultant can be found using the cosine rule. The cosine rule states that the square of the resultant is equal to the sum of the squares of the individual forces plus twice the product of the forces and the cosine of the angle between them. In this case, since the forces are equal, the cosine of the angle is equal to 1. Therefore, the resultant is equal to P cos (9/2).

    Explanation
    An airfoil is a type of body that is designed to generate lift when it moves through the air. It is characterized by its streamlined shape, which allows for smooth airflow over the surface. This streamlined shape helps to reduce drag and increase the efficiency of the airfoil. Therefore, the correct answer is "streamline body" as it accurately describes the type of body that is an airfoil.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    The body whose surface does not coincide with the streamline when places in a flow is called as

    • Streamline body

    • Wave body

    • Bluff body

    • Induced body

    Correct Answer
    A. Bluff body
    Explanation
    A bluff body refers to a body whose surface does not align with the streamline when placed in a flow. Unlike a streamlined body, which has a smooth and streamlined shape that minimizes drag, a bluff body has a non-streamlined shape that creates turbulence and increases drag. This term is commonly used in fluid dynamics to describe objects such as cylinders, spheres, or cubes that have a high drag coefficient due to their shape.

    When is a liquid said to be not in a boiling or vaporized state?

    • If the pressure on liquid is equal to its vapour pressure

    • If the pressure on liquid is less than its vapour pressure

    • If the pressure on liquid is more than its vapour pressure

    • Unpredictable

    Correct Answer
    A. If the pressure on liquid is more than its vapour pressure
    Explanation
    When the pressure on a liquid is greater than its vapor pressure, the liquid is not in a boiling or vaporized state. This is because vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by the vapor molecules above the liquid when the liquid and vapor are in equilibrium. When the external pressure is higher than the vapor pressure, the liquid molecules are unable to escape and transition into the vapor phase, thus remaining in a liquid state.

    One litre of a certain fluid weighs 8N. What is its specific volume?

    • 2.03 x 10– 3 m3/kg

    • 20.3 x 10– 3 m3/kg

    • 20.3 x 10– 3 m3/kg

    • 1.23 x 10– 3 m3/kg

    Correct Answer
    A. 1.23 x 10– 3 m3/kg
    Explanation
    The specific volume of a substance is defined as the volume occupied by one unit mass of the substance. In this question, we are given that one liter of the fluid weighs 8N. Since weight is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration due to gravity, we can calculate the mass of the fluid as 8N divided by the acceleration due to gravity. The specific volume is then calculated by dividing the volume (1 liter) by the mass of the fluid. Therefore, the specific volume is 1.23 x 10– 3 m3/kg.

    What is the effect on quality of the energy when it is conserved?

    • The quality of the energy increases while conserving its quantity

    • The quality of the energy decreases while conserving its quantity

    •  the quality of the energy remains same while conserving its quantity

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. The quality of the energy decreases while conserving its quantity
    Explanation
    When energy is conserved, the quantity of energy remains the same, but the quality decreases. This means that while the total amount of energy is preserved, it may become less useful or less concentrated. Conservation of energy often involves transformations or conversions that result in a less concentrated or lower quality form of energy. Therefore, the quality of the energy decreases while conserving its quantity.

    A pure substance exists in

    •  solid phase

    • Liquid phase

    • Gaseous phase

    •  all of the above

    Correct Answer
    A.  all of the above
    Explanation
    A pure substance can exist in all three phases - solid, liquid, and gaseous. The phase in which a substance exists depends on the temperature and pressure conditions. At low temperatures and high pressures, a pure substance exists in the solid phase, where the particles are closely packed together. As the temperature increases, the substance transitions into the liquid phase, where the particles are less closely packed and can move around more freely. At even higher temperatures, the substance transitions into the gaseous phase, where the particles are far apart and have high energy. Therefore, a pure substance can exist in all of these phases depending on the conditions.

    With increasing temperature of Intake Air, IC engine efficiency

    • Decreases

    • Increases

    • Remains Same

    • Depends On Other Factors

    Correct Answer
    A. Decreases
    Explanation
    As the temperature of the intake air increases, the efficiency of an internal combustion (IC) engine decreases. This is because hotter air has a lower density, which means there is less oxygen available for combustion. This leads to incomplete combustion and a decrease in engine efficiency. Additionally, higher intake air temperatures can also cause increased heat loss and increased risk of engine knocking, further reducing efficiency. Therefore, increasing the temperature of intake air has a negative impact on the efficiency of an IC engine.

    A house refrigerator with its door open is switched on in a closed room. The air in the room is

    • Cooled

    • Remains at same temperature

    • Heated

    • Heated or cooled depending on atmospheric pressure

    Correct Answer
    A. Heated
    Explanation
    When a house refrigerator with its door open is switched on in a closed room, the air in the room will be heated. This is because the refrigerator works by removing heat from the inside and releasing it to the outside. When the door is open, the heat from the condenser coils at the back of the refrigerator will be released into the room, causing the temperature of the air in the room to increase. Therefore, the air in the room will be heated.

    A 10 kg mass is hung from 2 light, inextensible strings as shown. The tension in the horizontal string is nearly  

    • 49 N

    • 57 N

    • 100 N

    • 0 N

    Correct Answer
    A. 57 N
    Explanation
    The tension in the horizontal string is nearly 57 N because the weight of the 10 kg mass is evenly distributed between the two strings. Each string will therefore support half of the weight, which is 5 kg or 49 N. However, since the strings are at an angle, there will be a component of the tension in the horizontal direction. By using trigonometry, it can be determined that this component is equal to the tension in the horizontal string, which is approximately 57 N.

    A block of ice at -10 °C is slowly heated and converted to steam at 100 °C. Which of the following curves represent the phenomena qualitatively?

    • Option 1

    • Option 2

    • Option 3

    • Option 4

    Correct Answer
    A. Option 1
    Explanation
    Option 1 represents the phenomena qualitatively because it shows a gradual increase in temperature as the ice block is heated, followed by a plateau at 0 °C when the ice starts melting. After that, the temperature continues to rise until it reaches 100 °C, where it remains constant during the phase change from liquid to gas. This is consistent with the process of heating ice and converting it to steam.

    A engine works on Carnot cycle between 727 °C and 227 °C. The efficiency of the engine is

    • 50%  

    • 75.4%

    • 31.2%

    • 68.8%

    Correct Answer
    A. 50%  
    Explanation
    The efficiency of a Carnot cycle engine is given by (T1 - T2) / T1, where T1 is the temperature of the hot reservoir and T2 is the temperature of the cold reservoir. In this case, the temperature of the hot reservoir is 727 °C and the temperature of the cold reservoir is 227 °C. Plugging these values into the formula, we get (727 - 227) / 727 = 500 / 727 ≈ 0.688, which is approximately 68.8%. Therefore, the correct answer is 68.8%.

    An elevator has a mass of 5000 kg. When the tension in the supporting cable is 60 kN, the acceleration of the elevator is nearly

    • 8 m/s2

    • 12 m/s 2

    • -2 m/s2

    • 2 m/s2

    Correct Answer
    A. 2 m/s2
    Explanation
    The acceleration of the elevator can be determined using Newton's second law, which states that the acceleration is equal to the net force divided by the mass of the object. In this case, the net force acting on the elevator is the tension in the supporting cable, which is 60 kN. Converting this to Newtons, we get 60,000 N. Dividing this by the mass of the elevator, which is 5000 kg, we get an acceleration of 12 m/s^2. Therefore, the correct answer is 12 m/s^2.

    Misrun is a casting defect which occurs due to

    • Very high pouring temperature of metal

    • Absorption of gases by liquid metal

    • Insufficient fluidity of molten metal

    • Improper alignment of mould flasks

    Correct Answer
    A. Insufficient fluidity of molten metal
    Explanation
    Misrun is a casting defect that occurs when the molten metal does not flow properly and completely fill the mold cavity. This lack of fluidity can be caused by various factors such as high viscosity of the molten metal, inadequate pouring temperature, or improper alloy composition. When the molten metal does not have enough fluidity, it fails to reach all parts of the mold, resulting in incomplete castings with missing sections or voids. Therefore, the correct answer is "Insufficient fluidity of molten metal."

    In a simply supported beam loaded as shown in figure, the maximum bending moment in Nm is

    • 25

    • 30

    • 30

    • 60

    Correct Answer
    A. 30
    Explanation
    The maximum bending moment in a simply supported beam occurs at the center of the beam. In this case, the beam is loaded with a concentrated load at the center, which creates a symmetrical bending moment distribution. Therefore, the maximum bending moment can be calculated by taking half of the total load (30 N) and multiplying it by the span length of the beam. This results in a maximum bending moment of 30 Nm.

    A manometer is used to measure the pressure of a gas in a tank. The fluid used has a specific gravity of 0.85 and the manometer column height is 55 cm, as shown in figure. If the local atmospheric pressure is 96 kPa, what is the absolute pressure in the tank?

    • 4.6 kPa

    • 98.6 kPa

    • 100.6 kPa

    • 200 kPa

    Correct Answer
    A. 100.6 kPa
    Explanation
    The manometer measures the difference in pressure between the gas in the tank and the atmospheric pressure. The height of the fluid column in the manometer is 55 cm. Since the fluid has a specific gravity of 0.85, the pressure difference can be calculated by multiplying the specific gravity by the height of the fluid column and the density of the fluid. The density of the fluid is equal to the density of the fluid times the acceleration due to gravity. By adding the pressure difference to the atmospheric pressure, we can find the absolute pressure in the tank. The correct answer is 100.6 kPa.

    Strain is the correct answer because it refers to the deformation per unit length. When an object undergoes deformation, the change in length or shape is measured as strain. It is a measure of how much an object has been stretched or compressed compared to its original length. Strain is typically expressed as a decimal or percentage. Stress, on the other hand, refers to the force applied per unit area and is not the same as deformation per unit length. Modulus of elasticity is a measure of a material's stiffness and is not directly related to deformation per unit length.

    Which of the following is a ferrous alloy?

    • Brass

    • Aluminum alloys

    • Cast steel 

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Cast steel 
    Explanation
    Cast steel is a ferrous alloy because it is primarily composed of iron with carbon and other elements added to enhance its properties. Ferrous alloys are those that contain iron as the main constituent, and cast steel fits this criterion as it is made by melting iron and adding carbon and other alloying elements before casting it into a desired shape. Brass and aluminum alloys, on the other hand, are non-ferrous alloys as they do not contain iron as the main component.

    The radiation pyrometers work on the principle of _____

    • Newton’s law

    • Stefan Boltzmann’s law

    • Zeroth law

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Stefan Boltzmann’s law
    Explanation
    Radiation pyrometers work on the principle of Stefan Boltzmann's law, which states that the total radiant heat energy emitted by a black body is proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature. This law allows the pyrometer to measure the temperature of an object by measuring the intensity of the infrared radiation it emits. Newton's law and the zeroth law are not applicable to the principle of radiation pyrometers.

    According to Kelvin-Planck statement, it is impossible to construct a device operating on a cycle which transfers heat from ____

    • Low pressure heat reservoir to high pressure reservoir 

    • Low temperature heat reservoir to high temperature reservoir

    • High pressure heat reservoir to low pressure reservoir 

    •  high temperature heat reservoir to low temperature reservoir

    Correct Answer
    A. Low temperature heat reservoir to high temperature reservoir
    Explanation
    According to the Kelvin-Planck statement, it is impossible to construct a device operating on a cycle that transfers heat from a low temperature heat reservoir to a high temperature reservoir. This statement is based on the principle of the second law of thermodynamics, which states that heat cannot spontaneously flow from a colder body to a hotter body without the aid of external work being done on the system. This is because heat naturally flows from a higher temperature to a lower temperature, and it requires work input to reverse this natural flow.

    According to Archimede’s principle, if a body is immersed partially or fully in a fluid then the buoyancy force is _______ the weight of fluid displaced by the body.

    • Equal to 

    • Less than 

    • More than 

    • Unpredictable

    Correct Answer
    A. Equal to 
    Explanation
    According to Archimedes' principle, the buoyancy force experienced by a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body. This means that the upward force exerted on the body by the fluid is equal to the downward force of gravity on the fluid displaced.

    What is a mole of a substance?

    • One mole has a mass numerically equal to half the molecular weight of the substance

    • One mole has a mass numerically equal to the molecular weight of the substance

    • One mole has a mass numerically equal to double the molecular weight of the substance

    •  none of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. One mole has a mass numerically equal to the molecular weight of the substance
    Explanation
    A mole of a substance is a unit of measurement used in chemistry to represent a certain amount of that substance. The mass of one mole of a substance is numerically equal to its molecular weight. This means that if you know the molecular weight of a substance, you can determine the mass of one mole of that substance. Therefore, the correct answer is "One mole has a mass numerically equal to the molecular weight of the substance."

     Determine torque transmitted on the pinion shaft if torque transmitted on gear shaft is 20 Nm.  Consider Gear ratio = 4

    •  8 Nm

    •  5 Nm 

    • 80 Nm

    • 16 Nm

    Correct Answer
    A.  5 Nm 
    Explanation
    The torque transmitted on the pinion shaft can be determined using the gear ratio. The gear ratio is the ratio of the number of teeth on the pinion gear to the number of teeth on the gear. In this case, the gear ratio is given as 4. Since the torque transmitted on the gear shaft is 20 Nm, the torque transmitted on the pinion shaft can be calculated by dividing the torque on the gear shaft by the gear ratio. Therefore, 20 Nm divided by 4 is equal to 5 Nm.

    The elongation of a bar is 0.5 mm when a tensile stress of 200 N/mm2 acts on it. Determine the original length of a bar if the modulus of elasticity is 150 x 103.

    • 375.93 mm

    • 300 mm

    • 360 mm

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. 375.93 mm
    Explanation
    The elongation of a bar can be calculated using the formula: elongation = (stress * length) / (modulus of elasticity). Rearranging the formula to solve for length, we have: length = (elongation * modulus of elasticity) / stress. Plugging in the given values, we get: length = (0.5 mm * 150 x 10^3) / 200 N/mm2 = 375.93 mm. Therefore, the original length of the bar is 375.93 mm.

     According to Joule’s law, the internal energy of a perfect gas is the function of absolute ______

    • Density

    • Pressure

    • Temperature

    • Volume

    Correct Answer
    A. Temperature
    Explanation
    According to Joule's law, the internal energy of a perfect gas is directly proportional to its temperature. This means that as the temperature of a perfect gas increases, its internal energy also increases. Therefore, temperature is the correct answer in this case.

    A cable with a uniformly distributed load per horizontal meter run will take the following shape

    • Straight line

    • Parabola

    • Hyperbola

    • Part of a circle.

    Correct Answer
    A. Parabola
    Explanation
    A cable with a uniformly distributed load per horizontal meter run will take the shape of a parabola. This is because the weight of the cable causes it to sag under its own weight, and the force of gravity acts uniformly along the length of the cable. The shape of a parabola is formed when an object is subject to a downward force and is supported at two points, resulting in a curved shape. Therefore, a cable with a uniformly distributed load per horizontal meter run will naturally form a parabolic shape.

    Which of the following materials do not have a well defined yield point?

    •  Heat treated steel

    • Concrete

    • Carbon fiber

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    All of the materials mentioned in the options, namely heat treated steel, concrete, and carbon fiber, do not have a well-defined yield point. A yield point is a stress level at which a material begins to deform plastically, meaning it undergoes permanent deformation even after the removal of the applied stress. Heat treated steel, concrete, and carbon fiber all exhibit different behaviors when subjected to stress, but none of them have a distinct yield point. Instead, they may show gradual or non-linear deformation patterns under increasing stress.
