A four-stroke engine delivers an output of 1200 RPM from the crankshaft. What is the total number of power strokes provided by the engine in 1 second?
- A.
10
- B.
20
- C.
5
- D.
12
Correct Answer
A. 10Explanation
In a four-stroke engine, each revolution of the crankshaft consists of four strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. Therefore, for every two revolutions of the crankshaft, there is one power stroke. Since the engine delivers an output of 1200 RPM (revolutions per minute), in one second it will complete 1200/60 = 20 revolutions. Therefore, the total number of power strokes provided by the engine in 1 second is 20/2 = 10.Rate this question:

- C.
Both inner and outer wheels offer the same amount of frictional force.
- D.
Rear wheels offer more frictional force than the front one.
Correct Answer
B. The inner wheels offer lesser frictional force than the outer wheels.Explanation
When a car takes a turn, the centripetal force required to keep the car moving in a curved path is provided by the frictional force on the wheels. The frictional force acts towards the center of the turn. As the car turns, the outer wheels have a larger radius of curvature compared to the inner wheels. This means that the outer wheels need to exert a greater centripetal force to maintain the turn. Since the frictional force provides the centripetal force, the outer wheels experience a greater frictional force compared to the inner wheels. Therefore, the inner wheels offer lesser frictional force than the outer wheels.Rate this question:
