Question 4 |
In the figure, link 2 rotates with constant angular velocity \omega _{2}. A slider link 3 moves outwards with a constant relative velocity V _{Q/P}, where Q is a point on slider 3 and P is a point on link 2. The magnitude and direction of Coriolis component of acceleration is given by


2w_{2} V_{Q/P} ; direction of V_{Q/P} rotated by 90^{\circ}
in the direction of w_{2} | |
w_{2} V_{Q/P} ; direction of V_{Q/P} rotated by 90^{\circ}
in the direction of w_{2} | |
2w_{2} V_{Q/P} ; direction of V_{Q/P} rotated by 90^{\circ}
opposite to the direction of w_{2} | |
w_{2} V_{Q/P} ; direction of V_{Q/P} rotated by 90^{\circ}
opposite to the direction of w_{2} |
Question 4 Explanation:
Direction is obtained by rotating velocity vector through 90.
Question 5 |
The strain hardening exponent n of stainless steel SS 304 with distinct yield and UTS values undergoing plastic deformation is
n \lt
0 | |
n = 0 | |
0 \lt
n \lt
1 | |
n = 1 |
Question 5 Explanation:
The value of strain hardening constant (n) lies between 0 and 1
n = 0 means material is perfectly plastic solid
n = 1 means material is perfectly elastic solid
n = 0 means material is perfectly plastic solid
n = 1 means material is perfectly elastic solid

Question 7 |
In full mould (cavity-less) casting process, the pattern is made of
expanded polystyrene | |
wax | |
epoxy | |
plaster of paris |
Question 7 Explanation:
The pattern is made of expanded polystrene.
In the expanded polystyrene casting process, a sand mold is packed around a polystyrene pattern representing the metal casting to be manufactured. The pattern is not removed, and the molten metal is poured into the pattern which is vaporized from the heat of the metal. The liquid metal takes the place of the vaporized polystyrene and the casting solidifies in the sand mold.

Question 9 |
Couette flow is characterized by
steady, incompressible, laminar flow through a straight circular pipe | |
fully developed turbulent flow through a straight circular pipe | |
steady, incompressible, laminar flow between two fixed parallel plates | |
steady, incompressible, laminar flow between one fixed plate and the other moving with a constant velocity |
Question 9 Explanation:
Couette flow
In fluid dynamics, couette flow is the laminar flow of a viscous fluid in the space between two parallel plates, one of which is moving relative to the other. The flow is driven by virtue of viscous drag force acting on the fluid and the applied pressure gradient parallel to the plates.
