- E.
Non of the above
Correct Answer
C. Perpendicular DistanceExplanation
The unit of moment depends upon the unit of force and perpendicular distance. Moment is a measure of the turning effect of a force, and it is calculated by multiplying the force applied by the perpendicular distance from the point of rotation. Therefore, the unit of moment will be determined by the units of force and the perpendicular distance. Mass, velocity, and density do not directly affect the unit of moment, so they are not the correct answer.Rate this question:

The liquid used in manometer should have
- A.
Low density
- B.
High density
- C.
Low surface tension
- D.
High surface tension
Correct Answer
D. High surface tensionExplanation
A manometer is a device used to measure pressure, typically in gas systems. It works by comparing the pressure of the gas with the pressure of a liquid in a U-shaped tube. The liquid used in a manometer should have high surface tension because this allows the liquid to rise or fall easily in response to changes in pressure. High surface tension ensures that the liquid forms a meniscus, which helps in accurate measurement of the pressure. If the liquid had low surface tension, it would not form a meniscus and would not provide reliable pressure readings.Rate this question:

- A.
Specific heat at constant volume
- B.
Specific heat at constant pressure
- C.
Kilo-joule
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. Kilo-jouleExplanation
The correct answer is kilo-joule because the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water through one Kelvin is measured in units of energy, specifically in kilo-joules. This is a common unit used to measure heat and energy in scientific and engineering contexts. The other options, specific heat at constant volume and specific heat at constant pressure, refer to different concepts related to heat capacity, but they do not specifically address the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of water by one Kelvin.Rate this question:

In an impulse turbine, steam expands
- A.
Wholly in blades
- B.
Wholly is nozzles
- C.
Partly in nozzle and partly in blades
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Wholly is nozzlesExplanation
In an impulse turbine, steam expands wholly in nozzles. This means that the steam undergoes expansion only in the nozzles, and not in the blades. Impulse turbines work on the principle of converting the kinetic energy of the steam into mechanical energy. This is achieved by directing the high-velocity steam through a series of nozzles, which causes the steam to expand and increase its velocity. The high-velocity steam then strikes the blades, transferring its kinetic energy to the rotor and causing it to rotate. Therefore, the correct answer is that steam expands wholly in nozzles.Rate this question:

The overall coefficient of heat transfer is used in problems of
- A.
Conduction
- B.
Convection
- C.
Radiation
- D.
Conduction and convection
Correct Answer
D. Conduction and convectionExplanation
The overall coefficient of heat transfer is used in problems of conduction and convection because these two modes of heat transfer are commonly encountered in various engineering and scientific applications. Conduction involves the transfer of heat through a solid material, while convection involves the transfer of heat through a fluid medium. The overall coefficient of heat transfer combines the effects of both conduction and convection to provide a measure of the overall heat transfer rate between two mediums. It takes into account the thermal conductivity of the solid material and the convective heat transfer coefficient of the fluid medium.Rate this question:

The lowest thermal diffusivity is of
- A.
Iron
- B.
Concrete
- C.
Rubber
- D.
Lead
Correct Answer
C. RubberExplanation
Rubber has the lowest thermal diffusivity compared to iron, concrete, and lead. Thermal diffusivity is a measure of how quickly heat can be conducted through a material. Rubber has a low thermal conductivity and a high specific heat capacity, meaning it is a poor conductor of heat and takes longer to heat up or cool down compared to the other materials listed. This makes rubber a good insulator and explains why it has the lowest thermal diffusivity among the options given.Rate this question:

A sliding pair has a completely constrained motion
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A sliding pair refers to a type of mechanical joint where two surfaces slide against each other. This type of pair allows for a completely constrained motion, meaning that the relative motion between the two surfaces is restricted to only sliding. Other types of pairs may allow for additional types of motion, such as rotation or oscillation, but a sliding pair is limited to sliding motion only. Therefore, the statement that a sliding pair has a completely constrained motion is true.Rate this question:

- B.
350 0C
- C.
650 0C
- D.
900 0C
Correct Answer
D. 900 0CExplanation
High speed tools retain their hardness up to a temperature of 900°C. This means that the tools can maintain their hardness and effectiveness in cutting or shaping materials even when exposed to high temperatures. This is important because high speed tools are often used in industrial applications where they may encounter elevated temperatures during operation. By retaining their hardness at high temperatures, these tools can continue to perform efficiently and accurately without becoming soft or losing their cutting ability.Rate this question:

The angle of elevation of a ladder leaning against a wall is 60° and the foot of the ladder is 4.6 m away from the wall. The length of the ladder is:
- A.
2.3 m
- B.
4.6 m
- C.
6.9 m
- D.
9.2 m
Correct Answer
D. 9.2 mExplanation
The angle of elevation of the ladder is 60 degrees, which means that the ladder forms a right triangle with the wall. The foot of the ladder is 4.6 m away from the wall. In a right triangle, the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse. Using trigonometry, we can use the sine function to find the length of the ladder. The sine of 60 degrees is equal to the length of the ladder divided by the distance from the wall. Therefore, the length of the ladder is equal to 4.6 m.Rate this question:

A train running at the speed of 66 km/hr crosses a pole in 12 seconds. What is the length of the train?
- A.
240 metres
- B.
220 metres
- C.
210 metres
- D.
250 metres
Correct Answer
B. 220 metresExplanation
The train is crossing a stationary pole, so the length of the train is equal to the distance it covers in 12 seconds. We know that the speed of the train is 66 km/hr, which is equal to 66000 meters/3600 seconds. Therefore, in 12 seconds, the train covers a distance of (66000/3600) * 12 = 220 meters. Hence, the length of the train is 220 meters.Rate this question:

A fruit seller had some apples. He sells 40% apples and still has 420 apples. Originally, he had:
- A.
588 🍎
- B.
602🍎
- C.
672 🍎
- D.
700 🍎
Correct Answer
D. 700 🍎Explanation
If the fruit seller sells 40% of his apples and still has 420 apples remaining, it means that 60% of his apples are equal to 420. To find the original number of apples, we can set up the equation: 60% of x = 420. Solving for x, we divide 420 by 0.6, which equals 700. Therefore, the fruit seller originally had 700 apples.Rate this question:

In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'LEADING' be arranged in such a way that the vowels always come together?
- A.
564
- B.
645
- C.
756
- D.
735
Correct Answer
C. 756Explanation
The word 'LEADING' has 7 letters. To arrange the letters in such a way that the vowels always come together, we can treat the group of vowels (EAI) as a single entity. This means that we have 4 entities to arrange: (L, N, D, G) and (EAI). The entities can be arranged among themselves in 4! = 24 ways. Within the group of vowels, the vowels can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways. Therefore, the total number of arrangements is 24 * 6 = 144. However, the vowels (EAI) can also be arranged within the group in 3! = 6 ways. Therefore, the final answer is 144 * 6 = 756.Rate this question:
