Question 3 Explanation:
Solution of laplace equation having continuous
Second order partial derivating
\therefore \nabla^{2} \phi =0
\frac{\partial^{2} \phi}{\partial x^{2}}+\frac{\partial^{2} \phi}{\partial y^{2}} =0
\therefore \; \phi is harmonic function.
Second order partial derivating
\therefore \nabla^{2} \phi =0

Question 5 |
The root of the function f(x)=x^{3}+x-1 obtained after first iteration on application of NewtonRaphson scheme using an initial guess of x_{0}=1 is
0.682 | |
0.686 | |
0.75 | |
1 |
Question 5 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} f(x)&=x^3+x-1\\ f(1)&=1+1-1=1 \\ f'(x)&=3x^2+1\\ f'(1)&=3+1=4\\ x_1&=x_0-\frac{f(x_0)}{f'(x_0)}\\ &=1-\frac{1}{4}=1-0.25=0.75 \end{aligned}
Question 6 |
A force F is acting on a bent bar which is clamped at one end as shown in the figure.
The CORRECT free body diagram is


The CORRECT free body diagram is

A | |
B | |
C | |
D |
Question 6 Explanation:
When we draw a free body diagram we remove all the supports and force applied due to that support are drawn and force or moment will apply in that manner so that it resists forces in any direction as well as any tendency of rotation.
Option (B) is wrong because the ground should not be shown in FBD as the forces due to ground are already depicted.
Option (C) is wrong because x-component is not shown.
Option (D) is wrong because the rotation due to the force acting eccentrically causes moment which is not shown.
Option (B) is wrong because the ground should not be shown in FBD as the forces due to ground are already depicted.
Option (C) is wrong because x-component is not shown.
Option (D) is wrong because the rotation due to the force acting eccentrically causes moment which is not shown.
Question 7 |
The cross-sections of two solid bars made of the same material are shown in the figure. The square cross-section has flexural (bending) rigidity I1, while the circular cross-section has flexural rigidity I2. Both sections have the same cross-sectional area. The ratio I1/I2 is

1/\pi | |
2/\pi | |
\pi/3 | |
\pi/6 |
Question 7 Explanation:

\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad b^{2}&=\frac{\pi}{4} d^{2} \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{b^{2}}{d^{2}}&=\frac{\pi}{4} \\ I_{1} &=\frac{b^{4}}{12} \\ I_{2} &=\frac{\pi d^{4}}{64} \\ \therefore \qquad \frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}} &=\frac{b^{4}}{12} \times \frac{64}{\pi d^{4}}=\frac{16}{3 \pi} \frac{b^{4}}{d^{4}} \\ &=\frac{16}{3 \pi} \cdot \frac{\pi^{2}}{16}=\frac{\pi}{3} \end{aligned}
