GATE CE 2022 Official Paper: Shift 2 (Previous Year Paper)

The correct answer is 'couldn’t help laughing'.

Key Points

• From the given statement, it can be inferred that since the movie was funny, the speaker could not resist laughing out loud.
• The phrase 'couldn’t help laughing' is used when someone is unable to prevent themselves from laughing.

The complete sentence will be: The movie was funny and I couldn’t help laughing.

• Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.

Additional Information

• 'Could' is used to indicate the possibility
• For eg.- This could be possible.

**Explanation-**​

​$x:y:z = \frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{4}$​

Let $x = \frac{k}{2},y = \frac{k}{3},z = \frac{k}{4}$

$\frac{{x + z - y}}{y} = \frac{{\frac{k}{2} + \frac{k}{4} - \frac{k}{3}}}{{\frac{k}{3}}}$ = 1.25

∴ (x + z - y) / y = 1.25

Explanation-

Both the numerator and the denominator of $\frac{3}{4}$ are increased by a positive integer, x

So the new number will be, $\frac{{3 + x}}{{4 + x}}$

Both the numerator and the denominator of $\frac{15}{17}$ are decreased by a positive integer, x

So the new number will be, $\frac{{15 - x}}{{17 - x}}$

This operation results in the same value for both the fractions.

$\frac{{3 + x}}{{4 + x}} = \frac{{15 - x}}{{17 - x}}$

⇒ (3 + x)(17 -x) = (4 + x)(15 - x)

⇒ 14 x + 51 = 11x + 60

⇒ 3x = 9

⇒  x = 3

Explanation-

A survey of 450 students about their subjects of interest resulted in the following outcome.

• 150 students are interested in Mathematics. ⇒ n (M) = 150
• 200 students are interested in Physics. ⇒ n (P) = 200
• 175 students are interested in Chemistry. ⇒ n(C) = 175
• 50 students are interested in Mathematics and Physics. ⇒ n(M U P) = 50
• 60 students are interested in Physics and Chemistry. ⇒ n(P U C) = 60
• 40 students are interested in Mathematics and Chemistry. ⇒ n(M U C) = 40
• 30 students are interested in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. ⇒ n(M U P U C) = 30

The remaining students are interested in Humanities is :

n(M U P U C) = n(M) + n(P) + n(C) - n(M U P) - n(P U C) - n(M U C) + n(M U P U C)

n(M U P U C) = 150 + 200 + 175 - 50 - 60 - 40 + 30 = 405

Total number of students interested in physics, math, and chemistry = 405

The number of students interested in Humanities = 450 - 405 = 45

The correct answer is 'More people are visiting the malls but not spending enough'.

Key Points

• Let's refer to the passage:
• 'The total number of visitors to the malls is impressive.'
• 'However, the total revenue generated through sales in the shops in these malls is generally low.'
• From the above-mentioned statements, it is evident that the correct logical inference based on the information in the above passage is that 'more people are visiting the malls but not spending enough'.
• Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.

Additional Information

• Revenue is income, especially when of an organization and of a substantial nature.
• For eg.- Traders have lost £10,000 in revenue since the traffic scheme was implemented.

Explanation:

In a partnership business,  the monthly investment by three friends for the first six months is in the ratio of 3: 4: 5.

Let capitals invested by three friends for six months are C₁ = 3x, C₂ = 4x, C₃ = 5x 

The new investment ratio was kept constant for the next six months.

Profit ratio for first six months = (3x × 6) : (4x × 6) : (5x × 6)

After six months, they had to increase their monthly investments by 10%, 15%, and 20%, respectively, of their initial monthly investment.

Profit ratio for next six months = (1.1 × 3x × 6) : (1.15 ×  4x × 6) : (1.20 × 5x × 6) 

The total ratio of profit = (3x × 6 + (1.1 × 3x × 6) : (4x × 6 + 1.15 ×  4x × 6) : (5x × 6 + 1.20 × 5x × 6) 

P1 ; P2 ; P3 = 6.3 : 8.6 : 11 = 63 : 86 : 110

Explanation-

When the multiplication of slopes of two lines is equal to -1, then the lines are said to be perpendicular.

 When the slope of two lines is equal, they are said to be parallel lines.

Given data and Calculation-

Line L1 : 2𝑥 − 3𝑦 = 5 , y = $\frac{{2x - 5}}{3}$, slope = 2/3

Line L2 : 3𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 8 , y = $\frac{{8 - 3x}}{2}$, slope = -3/2

Line L3 : 4𝑥 − 6𝑦 = 5 , y = $\frac{{4x - 5}}{6}$, Slope = 4/6

Line L4 : 6𝑥 − 9𝑦 = 6 , y = $\frac{{6x - 6}}{9}$, slope = 6/9

Multiplication of Slope L2 and L4 = $\frac{{ - 3 \times 6}}{{2 \times 9}} = - 1$

Slope of L1,L3 and L4 are equal.

So lines L4 and L3 are parallel.

So L4 is perpendicular to L2 and L4 is parallel to L3

Explanation-

Statement 1: Some soaps are clean.

Statement 2: All clean objects are wet.

From the above two statements, the Venn diagram can be drawn as-

Conclusion I: Some clean objects are soaps. - It is satisfied in both the probability diagram. So it can be logically inferred.

Conclusion II: No clean object is a soap.- It is not followed.

Conclusion III: Some wet objects are soaps.-It is satisfied in both the probability diagram. So it can be logically inferred.

Conclusion IV: All wet objects are soaps.-It is not followed.

So only conclusions I and III can be logically inferred.

Explanation-

Given that,

The function f(x, y) satisfies the Laplace equation $\rm \nabla ^2 f(x, y) = 0$

on a circular domain of radius r = 1 with its center at point P with coordinates x = 0, y = 0. 

The value of this function on the circular boundary of this domain is equal to 3.

Here it is given that the value of the function is 3 for its domain, which signifies that it is a constant function whose value is 3.

So the value of the function at (0, 0) is 3.

The Given Question is Wrong, Marks are allotted to all.

Explanation-

Given that, $I = \int {(x - \frac{{{x^2}}}{2} + \frac{{{x^3}}}{3} - \frac{{{x^4}}}{4} + .....}$

$I = {\frac{x^2}{2}} - \frac{{{x^3}}}{6} + \frac{{{x^4}}}{{12}} - \frac{{{x^5}}}{{20}} +$......

Expanding the options given,

option 1-

$\frac{1}{{1 + x}} = {(1 + x)^{ - 1}} = 1 - x + {x^2} - {x^3}.......$

option 2-

$\frac{1}{{1 + {x^2}}} = {(1 + {x^2})^{ - 1}} = 1 - {x^2} + {x^4} - {x^6}.......$

option 3-

$\frac{{ - 1}}{{1 - x}} = - {(1 - x)^{ - 1}} = - (1 + x + {x^2} + {x^3}.......$

option 4-

$\frac{{ - 1}}{{1 - {x^2}}} = - {(1 - {x^2})^{ - 1}} = - (1 + {x^2} + {x^4} + {x^6}.......$

So none of the options are matching with the correct answer.

Concept:

Elastic Modulus (E)

When the body is loaded within its elastic limit, the ratio of stress and strain is constant. This constant is known as Elastic modulus or Young's Modulus.

${\rm{E}} = \frac{{{\rm{Stress}}}}{{{\rm{Strain}}}} = \frac{{\rm{\sigma }}}{\epsilon}$

Rigidity modulus (G)

When a body is loaded within its elastic limit, the ratio of shear stress and shear strain is constant, this constant is known as the shear modulus.

${\rm{G}} = \frac{{{\rm{Shear;stress;}}}}{{{\rm{Shear;strain}}}} = \frac{{\rm{\tau }}}{\phi }$

Bulk modulus (K)

When a body is subjected to three mutually perpendicular like stresses of same intensity then the ratio of direct stress and the volumetric strain of the body is known as bulk modulus

${\rm{K}} = \frac{{{\rm{Direct;stress}}}}{{{\rm{Volumetric;strain}}}} = \frac{{\rm{\sigma }}}{{\frac{{{\rm{\delta V}}}}{{\rm{V}}}}}$

The relationship between E, K, G, and μ is:

$E = 2G(1 + μ)$

$G ={ E\over 2(1 + μ) }$

$E = 3K (1 – 2μ)$

${\bf{E}} = \frac{{9{\bf{KG}}}}{{3{\bf{K}}\ + ;{\bf{G}}}}$

${\bf{\mu }} = \frac{{3{\bf{K}}\ -\ 2{\bf{G}}}}{{2{\bf{G}}\ +\ 6{\bf{K}}}}$

Explanation:

Over reinforced section:

• An over reinforced section is a type of section in which we use the concrete for its ultimate compressive strength strength.
• The failure strain of concrete is reached before the yield strain of steel hence reinforced beam section undergoes a compressive failure.
• The percentage of tensile reinforcement is more than the amount of reinforcement provided for a balanced section. As in this type of section concrete fails first i.e it undergoes a brittle failure
• The main disadvantage of this section is it undergoes a sudden failure without warning.
• We will not advice to select this type of section for the structure as it adds an extra cost, by increasing the percentage of reinforcement.

Under reinforced beam:

• In these type of sections the area of reinforcement is less than limiting area of reinforcement.
• The failure is due to yielding of steel and hence called ductile failure.
• Gives sufficient warning before failure and hence preferred for general use.

Balanced section:

• The area of reinforcement is equal to limiting area of reinforcement.
• In this type of section the ultimate strength of concrete and steel are reached simultaneously.
• At the same point of time concrete and steel fails and ultimately structure fails by crushing of concrete.

Concept:

The following table shows different Bogue’s compounds and their properties.

Explanation-

Static indeterminacy-

• It is defined as the difference between a total number of unknowns (Total member forces+ reactions) and the total number of available equations from the conditions of equilibrium.
• Degree of static indeterminacy = Total number of unknown forces - Number of equilibrium equations available
• If the degree of static indeterminacy = 0, it is known as a statically determinate structure.
• If the degree of static indeterminacy > 0, it is known as statically indeterminate structure.

Kinematic indeterminacy-

• The degree of kinematic indeterminacy is the minimum number of movements (degrees of freedom, DOF) with which the kinematic configuration of the overall structure can be defined, that is, the number of unknown independent movements of the structure.

 

Given data and Calculation-

Total number of unknown forces, = (H_p, V_p, M_p , H_Q, V_Q) = 5

Number of equilibrium equations available = 3

Degree of static indeterminacy = 5 - 3 = 2

As the joint P is fixed, no movement is allowed at that joint, joint Q is hinged so only rotation is allowed at that joint.

So the degree of kinematic indeterminacy = 1 ( Rotation at joint Q)

Explanation:

Effect of water table on BC of soil:

• As the water table rises the moisture content of soil increases, and its BC decreases.
• This is due to the fact that when water gets into the pores of the soil, its load-carrying capacity decreases as water is nearly incompressible.
• Monsoon increases the water content of soil and hence is considered critical for designing shallow foundations on both sandy and clayey soil.

∴ Statement 1 is true

Conditions to be checked for the stability of slope of earthen dam:

• Stability of downstream slope during steady seepage.
• Stability of upstream slope during sudden drawdown.
• Stability of upstream and downstream slopes during and immediately after construction.

∴ Statement 2 is false

Quicksand condition:

• When upward seepage occurs it applies some seepage pressure on the soil and when this seepage pressure is equal to effective stress of soil, the quicksand condition occurs.
• In this soil loss, all its shear strength and the hydraulic gradient are equal to 1 and such hydraulic gradient is called critical hydraulic gradient.

∴ Statement 3 is false

Effect of water table on active thrust:

• When we decrease the water table, the BC of soil increases and it increases the effective stress of soil.
• With the increase, effective stress, active pressure, and hence active thrust also increase.

∴ Statement 4 is false

Explanation:

Taking the submission of horizontal forces as 0 ie Σ H = 0

σx × BC - τz × AB + σ1 × Sin θ = 0

$σ_x × ({AC× Sin\ θ \over Cos\ θ})+ τ_{zx } × ({AC× Cos\ \ \theta \over Cos\ θ})={σ_1× AC × Sin\ \ θ \over Cos\ θ}$

σx × Tan θ + τzx = σ1 × Tan θ 

Tan θ × (σ1 - σx) = τxy

 $Tan\ \theta = {\tau_{xy} \over \sigma _1 -\sigma _x}$

Explanation:

Horton equation:  It gives the infiltration of water as is given by

$f_{b}=f_{c}+\left ( f_{o}-f_{c} \right )e^{-kt}$

Where, f_b = Value of infiltration, f_c = equilibrium infiltration and f_o= Initial infiltration

Penman equation:  It gives the formula for evapotranspiration which is the sum of evaporation and transpiration

$PET = \frac{AH_{n}+E_{a}\gamma }{A+\gamma }$

Chezy formula:  It relates velocity through an open channel to its slope and hydraulic radius by the following formula

$V = C\sqrt{RS}$

Where V = Velocity, C = Chezy constant, R = Hydraulic radius and S = Slope

Dicken formula:  It gave a formula for discharge through the flood plain and is usually applicable for north and central India.

Q = C × A^3/4

Where,Q = Flood discharge, C = Constant, A = Area of catchment

Lacey theory: It is used to design of alluvial canal and is based on the following assumptions:

• The channel is flowing uniformly in the unlimited incoherent alluvial soil of the same character.
• The silt grade and silt charge are uniforms.
• The discharge remains constant

Concept:

Evapotranspiration:

• The sum of transpiration and evaporation is known as evapotranspiration.
• Which depends on various factors like type of soil and crop that is being grown on the soil.
• So, to counter these factors some constants like soil coefficient and crop coefficient are used and we modify the value of evapotranspiration we got from various formula like penmann's equation and the modified evapotranspiration is given by

E_o = E₁ × C₁ × C₂

Where, E₀ = Modified evapotranspiration, E₁ = Original evapotranspiration, C₁ = Crop coefficient, C₂ = Soil coeffiicient

Given:

E₁ = 6 mm/day, C₁ = 1.2, C₂ = 0.8

Calculation:

E_o = E₁ × C₁ × C₂

      = 6 × 1.2 × 0.8

E₀ = 5.76 mm/day

∴ The evapotranspiration is 5.76 mm/day

Explanation:

From Newton’s law of viscosity

$\tau = \mu \cdot \frac{{du}}{{dy}}$

μ = Proportionality constant/ coefficient of viscosity or viscosity

μ = dynamic viscosity (since it involves force)

$\therefore \mu = \frac{\tau }{{du/dy}}$

Dimensional formula for μ

∴ μ = M.L-1.T-1

Units:

Dynamic Viscosity (μ):

SI system:

μ = N.s/m2 or Pa.s = kg/m.s

CGS system:

μ = Dyne.sec/cm2 = 1 poise

1 N = 105 dynes

1 N.s/m2 = 105 dynes.sec/104 cm2

1 N.s/m2 = 10 dyne.sec/cm2

1 N.s/m2 = 10 poise = 1 Pa.s

Additional Information

Kinematic Viscosity (v): It is the ratio of dynamic viscosity to mass density.

$v = \frac{{Dynamic;viscosity}}{{Mass;density}} = \frac{\mu }{\rho }$

Dimensional formula for Kinematic viscosity (ν)

∴ ν = L2T-1

The dimensions of the kinematic viscosity show that they involves the magnitudes of length and time only.

The name kinematic viscosity has been given to the ratio (μ/ρ) because its unit (m2/s) is similar to the unit of kinematic quantities like velocity (m/s) and acceleration (m/s2).

Units

SI system:

m2/sec

CGS system:

cm2/sec or stoke

1 stoke = 1 cm2/sec = 10-4 m2/sec

Explanation:

Fugitive emission:

• Fugitive emissions are accidental emissions of vapours or gases from pressurised apparatus, either due to faulty equipment, leakage or other unforeseen mishaps.
• It can also occur through evaporation, in such sources as storage tanks or wastewater treatment facilities.

Total emission = Fugitive emission + Captured emission

Given is that Captured emission is 95 %. So, by using above formula, fugitive(escaped) emission is 100 - 95 = 5 %

And, Fugitive emission = percent of fugitive emission × Total emission

                                        = 0.05 × 5

        Fugitive emission = 0.25 kg/h

Important Points

• The best way to reduce fugitive emissions is through regular testing and maintenance.
• Leak detection should be scheduled at regular intervals using gas detection devices, which can measure the amount of vapours escaping, determine what they are and decide on an appropriate course of action.

Concept:

The nominal scale of measurement:

The nominal scale, sometimes called the qualitative type, places non-numerical data into categories or classifications.

For example:

• Placing cats into breed type. For example, a Persian is a breed of cat.
• Putting cities into states(Name of a city). Example: Jacksonville is a city in Florida.

The ordinal scale of measurement:

Ordinal scales are made up of ordinal data. Some examples of ordinal scales:

For example:

• High school class rankings: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.
• Social-economic class: working, middle, upper.
• Ranking of a city based on ease of business

The interval scale of measurement:

It has values of equal intervals that mean something.

For example:

• A thermometer might have intervals of ten degrees.
  

The ratio scale of measurement:

It is exactly the same as the interval scale except that the zero on the scale means: does not exist.

For example: 

• A weight of zero doesn’t exist;
• An age of zero doesn’t exist.
• Population density of a city

Hence, Match the following attributes of a city with the appropriate scale of measurements.

Explanation:

At Noon, the sun is exactly over the time median of the place. Thus true bearing of the line joining the sun and the place is either 0° and 360° if it is to the north.

and 180° if it is to the south of the place.

Magnetic bearing of sun at noon = 170°

True bearing = 180° 

True bearing = M.B + declination

180° - 178° = declination

So,

declination = 2° 

Declination is coming out as positive, so it will be in the eastward direction.

Explanation-

If A is a non-singular square matrix, there is an existence of n x n matrix A^-1, which is called the inverse of a matrix A such that it satisfies the property:

AA^-1 = A^-1A = I, where I is  the Identity matrix.

If A and B are the non-singular matrices, then the inverse matrix should have the following properties

• (A^-1)^-1 =A
• (AB)^-1 =A^-1B^-1
• (ABC)^-1 =C^-1B^-1A^-1
• (A1 A2….An)^-1 =A^n-1An-1^-1……A2^-1A1^-1
• (A^T)^-1 =(A^-1)^T

Given data and Analysis-

P and Q are two square matrices of the same order,

If P and Q are invertible, then [PQ]-1 = Q-1P-1

If P and Q are invertible, then [QP]-1 = P-1Q-1

Concept:

Plastic waste:

• Plastic is the general common term for a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organic amorphous solid materials derived from oil and natural gas.
• Plastic waste, or plastic pollution, is ‘the accumulation of plastic objects (e.g.: plastic bottles and much more) in the Earth’s environment that adversely affects wildlife, wildlife habitat, and humans.’
• It also refers to the significant amount of plastic that isn’t recycled and ends up in landfills or, in the developing world, thrown into unregulated dumpsites.

Paper waste:

• It means newspapers, magazines, cardboard, and any other form of paper which is free of contaminated matter and is capable of being recycled.

Glass waste:

• It is discarded material from the glass manufacturing process or from used consumer products made of glass.

Food waste:

• Food waste refers to food such as plate waste (i.e., food that has been served but not eaten), spoiled food, or peels and rinds considered inedible that is sent to feed animals, to be composted or anaerobically digested, or to be landfilled or combusted with energy recovery.

Typical data of moisture content of municipal solid waste components are as follows:

Typical heat values of municipal solid waste components are as follows:

Hence, the decreasing order of moisture content in these wastes is MCf > MCp > MCg, where the moisture contents (MC) of food waste, paper waste, and glass waste were found to be MCf, MCp, and MCg, respectively

Concept:

Municipal solid waste collection route:

• Efficient routing of collection vehicles helps decrease costs by reducing the labor expended for collection.
• Proper planning of collection routes also helps conserve energy and minimize working hours and vehicle fuel consumption.
• It is necessary therefore to develop detailed route configurations and collection schedules for the selected collection system.

Design an optimum municipal solid waste collection route is depends on various rules are as follows:

• Routes should not be fragmented or overlapping.
• Each route should be compact, consisting of street segments clustered in the same geographical area.
• Total collection plus hauling time should be reasonably constant for each route in the community.
• The collection route should be started as close to the garage or motor pool as possible, taking into account heavily traveled and one-way streets.
• Heavily traveled streets should not be visited during rush hours.
• In the case of one-way streets, it is best to start the route near the upper end of the street, working down it through the looping process.
• Waste on a steep hill should be collected, when practical, on both sides of the street while the vehicle is moving downhill.
• Higher elevations should be at the start of the route.
• For collection from one side of the street at a time, it is generally best to route with many anti-clockwise turns around blocks.
• For collection from both sides of the street at the same time, it is generally best to route with long, straight paths across the grid before looping anticlockwise.
• For certain block configurations within the route, specific routing patterns should be applied.
• The last collection point on a route should be as close as possible to the waste disposal facility.

Explanation-

Macroscopic stream models represent how the behavior of one parameter of traffic flow changes with respect to another. Most important among them is the relation between speed and density.

The first and most simple relation between them is proposed by Greenshield. Greenshield assumed a linear speed-density relationship as illustrated in the figure to derive the model. The equation for this relationship is shown below.

• $v = {v_f}\left( {1 - \frac{k}{{{k_j}}}} \right)$
• where v is the mean speed at density k, v_f is the free speed and k_j is the jam density.

Traffic flow (q) = flow density (k) × Velocity(V)

Given data and Analysis -

$v = {v_f}\left( {1 - \frac{k}{{{k_j}}}} \right)$

Also it can be written as , $k = {k_j}\left( {1 - \frac{v}{{{v_f}}}} \right)$

q = k × v

$q = k \times {v_f}\left( {1 - \frac{k}{{{k_j}}}} \right)$

$\rm q = \nu_f k - \left( \frac{\nu_f}{k_j} \right)k^2$

$q = v \times {k_j}\left( {1 - \frac{v}{{{v_f}}}} \right)$

$\rm q = k_j \nu - \left( \frac{k_j}{\nu_f} \right)\nu^2$

So option 2 and 4 are correct.

Explanation:

Given Data and Analysis-

Given polynomial is f(x) = x3 - 6x2 + 11x - 6. where 1 ≤ x ≤ 3.

Statement 1-The given polynomial is zero at the boundary points x = 1 and x = 3.

At x = 1, f(x) = 13 - 6 + 11 - 6=0

At x = 3, f(x) = 33 - 54 + 33 - 6=0

So statement 1 is correct.

f'(x) = 3x² - 12x + 11

f''(x) = 6x - 12

at x = 1, f''(x) = -6 < 0

for maximum or minimum, f'(x) = 0

⇒ 3x² - 12x + 11 = 0

⇒ x = 2.577 or 1.422

Both values of x exist within domain.

at x = 2.577, f''(x) ≥ 0, so f(x) will be minimum.

x = 1.492, f''(x) ≤ 0, so f(x) will be maximum.

At x = 1.422 the function will have a maximum value and at x = 2.577 it will have a minimum value.

So statements 2 and 4 are correct.

Statement 3 is wrong as for 1 ≤ x ≤ 2 , f''(x)  is not greater than zero.

Concept

Natural frequency (W_n) of any undamped single degree of freedom system is given by

W_n = √(k/m) 

W_n in rad/sec

Given data and Calculation-

Given that, Initial mass (m₀) = m and stiffness (k₀) = k

Natural frequency = ω rad/s 

Natural time period = T s

Final mass m₁ = m/2 and Stiffness k₁ = 2k

Then, Wn1 = √(k₁/m₁) = √(4k/m) = 2 √(k/m) = 2 W_n  

T1 = 2π/W_n1 = 2π/(2 W_n) = T/2

Z_e = $\frac{{a'1}}{{12 × \frac{a}{{\sqrt 2 }}}} = \frac{{{a^3}}}{{6\sqrt 2 }} = \frac{{{{(100)}^3}}}{{6\sqrt 2 }} = 117.85 × {10^3}m{m^3}$

Shape factor Sf = $\frac{Z_p}{Z_e}=\frac{235.7×10^3}{11785× 10^3}=2$

Calculation

 

 

Total stress, ${f_{cs}}=\frac{P}{A} + {\frac{{Pe}}{I}^2}$

1. Loss in wire (1) is due to P₂+P₃ = 2P; substitute 'P' in above with 'gp'

${f_{c{s_1}}} = \frac{{2P}}{A} + \frac{{2P{e^2}}}{I}$

$= \left( {\frac{{2 × 300 × 100}}{{450 × 450}};} \right); + \frac{{2 × 300 × {{\left( {100} \right)}^2}}}{{\frac{{450 × {{\left( {450} \right)}^3}}}{{12}}}} - 3.96 + 1.76$

= 4.72 N/mm²

Loss ${L_1} = m{f_{c{s_1}}} = 6 \times 4.72 = 28.32,N/m{m^2}$

${L_2} = m{f_{c{s_2}}} = 6 \times 2.36 = 14.16,N/m{m^2}$

${L_3} = m{f_{cs}}_{_3} = 6 \times 0 = 0$

Ag Loss = $= \frac{{28.32 + 14.16 + 0}}{3} = 14.16,N/m{m^2}$

Loss in wire (2) is due to $P3 = P = 300,kN.$

$fc{s_2}, = ,\frac{{300 \times 1000}}{{450 \times 450}}, + ,\frac{{300 \times 1000 \times {{\left( {100} \right)}^2}}}{{\frac{{450 \times {{\left( {450} \right)}^3}}}{{12}}}}$

Explanation:

The relationship b/w volumetric strain and axial strain in case of loose sand and dense sand is given as:

From above, it can be said that volumetric strain decreases on increasing axial strain.

The relationship b/w pore water pressure and axial strain is given as:

From above, it can be said put initially for the same value of strain pore water pressure decreases thereafter increasing.

3. For reberated clay's the bearing capacity factor are given as:

N_c = 5.7

N_q = 1

N_γ = 0

This is because angle of internal friction be ϕ = 0

4. Skempton's pore pressure parameter 'B' is the ratio of change in pore pressure due to change in cell pressure

B = 0 for dry soils

B = 1 for saturated soils

Concept:

• The pressure of water in the pores of the soil is called pore water pressure (u).
• Under hydrostatic conditions, no water flow takes place, and the pore pressure at a given point is given by u =γWh ,where h = depth below water table or overlying water surface.
• At any point in a soil mass, the effective stress (represented by σ ') is related to total stress (σ) and pore water pressure (u) as σ ' = σ - u
• Both the total stress and pore water pressure can be measured at any point.

Given data and Calculation:

From the given figure,

<br>

Sum of the effective stress =

(γ_sat – γ_ω)h₂ + (γ_sat – γ_ω)[h₂ + h₃]

γ_sat – γ_ω = r’

so sum = 2γ ’h₂ + γ ’h₃

= (2h₂ + h₃)γ ’

Concept:

• pH, is the quantitative measure of the acidity or basicity of aqueous or other liquid solutions.
• pH is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.
• P^H = -log₁₀ [H⁺]

Given data and Calculation:

Weight of HNO₃ = 100 mg

atomic weights of

H = 1 g/mol, N = 14 g/mol, O = 16 g/mol

Molecular weight of HNO₃ = 1 + 14 + 48 = 63 gm

No. of moles present = $\frac{100 \times 10^{-3}}{63} = 0.00158$

P^H = -log₁₀ [0.00158] = 2.8

Explanation:

Given,

The chemical formula of the biodegradable fraction of municipal solid waste (MSW) is C100H250O80N.

Oxygen in air (by weight) = 23 %

density of air = 1.3 kg/m3. 

Weight of the waste = 1 tonne 

2C₁₀₀H₂₅₀O₈₀N + 243.5O₂ → 200CO₂ + 247H₂O + 2NH₃

Molecular weight if MSW = (12 × 100) + (250 × 1) + (16 × 80) + (14)

= 2744 gm

5488 gm of MSW requires (243.5 × 32) gm of O₂

1000 kg of MSW requires = $\frac{7792}{5488} \times 1000$

= 1419.825 kg of O₂

Quantity of air required = $\frac{1419.825}{0.23}$

= 6173.15 kg

Vol. of air required = $\frac{6173.15}{1.3}$

= 4748.58

~ 4749 m³/tonne

Concept:

The relationship 6 / w traffic speed (V), Traffic density (K), and traffic (Q) is given as Q = K × V

Here (V) is space mean speed (SMS)

Also, Time headway (t_h) is given as :

\(\mathop Q\limits_{\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} \downarrow \ {veh/hr} \end{array}} = \frac{{3600}}{{th(rec)}}\)

Calculation:

Given : V = SMS = 30 Km/hr

K = 40 veh/ Km 

Traffic flow, Q = K × V = 40 × 30 = 1200 Veh/hr

Time headway is given as,

$1200 = \frac{{3600}}{{{t_\lambda }}} \Rightarrow {t_\lambda } = 3\sec$

Explanation-

Column matrix is a matrix in which all the elements are in a single column.

A column matrix has only one column and multiple rows. The order of a column matrix is n × 1, and it has n elements.

The elements are arranged in a vertical manner, with the number of elements equal to the number of rows in a column matrix.

The following properties of the column matrix, help in a deeper understanding of the column matrix.

• A column matrix has only one column.
• A column matrix has numerous rows.
• The number of elements in a column matrix is equal to the number of rows in the matrix.
• A column matrix is also a rectangular matrix.
• The rank of the column matrix is 1.
• The transpose of a column matrix is a row matrix.
• The column matrix can be added or subtracted to only a column matrix of the same order.
• A column matrix can be multiplied with only a row matrix
• The product of a column matrix with a row matrix gives a singleton matrix.
• Multiplication of column matrix and its transpose matrix gives a symmetric matrix.
• Multiplication of transpose and the given matrix is an eigenvalue of Multiplication of column matrix and its transpose matrix.
• Multiplication of column matrix and its transpose matrix gives a symmetric matrix that has determinant zero.

 

Given data and Analysis-

Let y be a non-zero vector of size 2022 × 1.

It is a column matrix.

So from the above properties explained,

 yyT is a symmetric matrix and yTy is an eigenvalue of yyT

As the determinant of yyT is zero, it is not invertible.

Alternate MethodConcept-We know that all nonzero eigenvalues of ABAB AB

 and BABA BA

 are the same.

Here, yyTyyT yy^T

 and yTyyTy y^T y

 have the same nonzero eigenvalue. Since yy y

 is nonzero, yyTyyT yy^T

 is a nonzero matrix. Additionally, a 1×11×1 1 \times 1

 matrix has its only entry as its eigenvalue. Hence, yyTyyT yy^T

 has a nonzero eigenvalue, which implies that yyTyyT yy^T

 is an eigenvalue of yTyyTy y^T y

Explanation:

Castigliano’s first theorem-

• For linearly elastic structure, where external forces only cause deformations, the complementary energy is equal to the strain energy.
• The first partial derivative of the total internal energy (strain energy) in a structure with respect to any particular deflection component at a point is equal to the force applied at that point and in the direction corresponding to that deflection component.
• This first theorem is applicable to linearly or nonlinearly elastic structures in which the temperature is constant and the supports are unyielding.

Castigliano’s second theorem-

• The first partial derivative of the total internal energy in a structure with respect to the force applied at any point is equal to the deflection at the point of application of that force in the direction of its line of action.
• The second theorem of Castigliano is applicable to linearly elastic (Hookean material) structures with constant temperature and unyielding supports.

 

Principle of Virtual work method-

• Relations between active forces can be determined directly without reference to the reactive forces.
• If a structure is acted upon by two force system Pa and Pb, in equilibrium separately, the external virtual work done by a system of forces Pb during the deformations caused by another system of forces Pa is equal to the external virtual work done by the Pa system during the deformation caused by the Pb system.

Conjugate beam method- 

• The shear force in a conjugate beam loaded by the M/EI diagram of the real beam is equal to the corresponding slope at that point of the real beam.
• The bending moment in a conjugate beam loaded by the M/EI diagram of the real beam is equal to the corresponding deflection at that point of the real beam.

​

So from the given options statement 1, 2 & 3 are correct.

Explanation:

Channel transition with hump:

 

At choked conditions, the flow will be critical.

From the graph shown above, it can be concluded that,

• In choked conditions, y1 decreases if the flow is supercritical and increases if the flow is subcritical.
• In choked conditions, y2 is equal to the critical depth if the flow is supercritical or subcritical.
• In unchoked conditions, y1 remains unaffected when the flow is supercritical or subcritical
