Question 3 Explanation: 
\begin{array}{l} \text { Size of shaft }=25.000^{\overset{+0.040}{-0.010}} \mathrm{mm} \\ \text { Size of hole }=25.000^{\overset{+0.030}{+0.020}} \mathrm{mm} \end{array}

Maximum interference
=0.040-0.020=0.020 \mathrm{mm}=20 \mu \mathrm{m}
Question 4
During normalizing process of steel, the specimen is heated
A
Between the upper and lower critical temperature and cooled in still air
B
Above the upper critical temperature and cooled in furnace
C
Above the upper critical temperature and cooled in still air
D
Between the upper and lower critical temperature and cooled in furnace

Question 4 Explanation: 
During normalizing process of steel. The specimen in heated upto 50^{\circ} \mathrm{C} above the upper critical temperature and is then cooled is still air.
Question 5
Oil flows through a 200 mm diameter horizontal cast iron pipe (friction factor, f = 0.0225) of length 500 m. The volumetric flow rate is 0.2 m^{3}/s . The head loss (in m) due to friction is (assume g = 9.81 m/s^{2})
A
116.18
B
0.116
C
18.22
D
232.36
Fluid Mechanics   Flow Through Pipes
Question 5 Explanation: 
Given data:
\begin{aligned} d=200 \mathrm{mm}&=0.2 \mathrm{m} \\ \therefore \qquad A=\frac{\pi}{4} d^{2}&=\frac{3.14}{4} \times(0.2)^{2}\\ &=0.0314 \mathrm{m}^{2} \\ f &=0.0225 \\ L &=500 \mathrm{m} \\ Q &=0.2 \mathrm{m}^{3} / \mathrm{s} \\ also \qquad Q &=A V\\ \therefore \qquad 0.2&=0.0314 \times V\\ or \qquad V&=6.369 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} \end{aligned}
We know that the Darcy's formula, head loss due to friction,
\begin{aligned} h_{f} &=\frac{f L V^{2}}{2 g d} \\ &=\frac{0.0225 \times 500 \times(6.369)^{2}}{2 \times 9.81 \times 0.2} \\ &=116.29 \mathrm{m} \text { of oil } \end{aligned}
