Question 6 |
Which one of the following is the definition of
ultimate tensile strength (UTS) obtained from a
stress-strain test on a metal specimen?
Stress value where the stress-strain curve transitions from elastic to plastic behavior | |
The maximum load attained divided by the original cross-sectional area | |
The maximum load attained divided by the corresponding instantaneous crosssectional area | |
Stress where the specimen fractures |
Question 6 Explanation:
Tensile Strength: The tensile strength, or ultimate
tensile strength (UTS), is the maximum load
obtained in a tensile test, divided by the original
cross-sectional area of the specimen.
\sigma _u=\frac{P_{max}}{A_o}
where, \sigma _u= Ultimate tensile strength, kg/mm^2
P_{max}= Maximum load obtained in a tensile test, kg
A_o= Original cross-sectional area of gauge length of the test piece, mm^2
The tensile strength is a very familiar property and widely used for identification of a material. It is very easy to determine and is a quite reproducible property. It is used for the purposes of specifications and for quality control of a product. Tensile strength can be empirically correlated to other properties such as hardness and fatigue strength. For brittle materials, the tensile strength is a valid criterion for design.

Question 7 |
A massive uniform rigid circular disc is mounted
on a frictionless bearing at the end E of a massive
uniform rigid shaft AE which is suspended
horizontally in a uniform gravitational field by two
identical light inextensible strings AB and CD as
shown, where G is the center of mass of the shaft-disc assembly and g is the acceleration due to
gravity. The disc is then given a rapid spin \omega about
its axis in the positive x-axis direction as shown,
while the shaft remains at rest. The direction of
rotation is defined by using the right-hand thumb
rule. If the string AB is suddenly cut, assuming
negligible energy dissipation, the shaft AE will


rotate slowly (compared to \omega ) about the negative z-axis direction | |
rotate slowly (compared to \omega ) about the positive z-axis direction | |
rotate slowly (compared to \omega ) about the negative y-axis direction | |
rotate slowly (compared to \omega ) about the positive y-axis direction |
Question 7 Explanation:

The spin vector will chase the couple on torque vector and produce precision in system.
Hence precision will be -y direction. Rotate slowly (compared to \omega ) about negative z-axis direction.

and temperature. All the lines in this phase diagram,
including the solidus and liquidus lines, are straight
lines. If this binary alloy with 15 weight % of B
