Once the team of analysts identifies the problem, we _________ in a better position to comment on the issue. 

Which one of the following choices CANNOT fill the given blank?

  1. ((a))

    will be

  2. ((b))

    were to be

  3. ((c))

    are going to be

  4. ((d))

    might be

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

were to be

Once the team of analysts identifies the problem, we _________ in a better position to comment on the issue. 

The 1st clause is in the present tense, so 'will be', 'are going to be' or 'might be' are appropriate because these are the verbs representing present or future.

'were to be' can't be used because this is the verb of past tense.

The product of three integers X, Y and Z is 192.

X.Y.Z = 192

Z is equal to 4.

⇒ X.Y.(4) = 192 ⇒ X.Y = 48

Possibilities are: (1,48), (2,24), (3,16), (4,12), (6,8)

P is equal to the average of X and Y.

P = (X + Y)/2

Pmin = (X + Y)min/2 = (6 + 8)/2 = 7

GDP increased by 10% from 2015 to 2016 ⇒ 

Let GDP in 2015 = X

GDP in 2016 = 1.1 X

Fiscal deficit was 4% of the GDP in 2015 and that increased to 5% in 2016 ⇒

FD in 2015 = 0.04 X

FD in 2016 = 0.05 (1.1 X) = 0.055 X

Percentage increase in the actual fiscal deficit:

FD2016FD2015FD2015×100=0.0550.040.04×100=37.5%\frac{{F{D_{2016}} - F{D_{2015}}}}{{F{D_{2015}}}} \times 100 = \frac{{0.055 - 0.04}}{{0.04}} \times 100 = 37.5\%

Concept:

Basic Concepts and Pipes & Cisterns formula:

  • If a pipe can fill a tank in a hrs, then the part filled in 1 hr =1/a.
  • If a pipe can empty a tank in b hrs, then the part of the full tank emptied in 1 hr = 1/b.
  • If a pipe can fill a tank in a hrs and the another pipe can empty the full tank in b hrs, then the net part filled in 1 hr, when both the pipes are opened =[1/a - 1/b] ∴ Time taken to fill the tank, when both the pipes are opened = ab/(b - a)
  • If a pipe can fill a tank in a hrs and another can fill the same tank in b hrs, then the net part filled in 1 hr, when both pipes are opened = [1/a + 1/b] ∴ Time taken to fill the tank = ab/(a + b)
  • If a pipe fills a tank in a hrs and another fills the same tank in b hrs, but a third one empties the full tank in c hrs, and all of them are opened together, the net part filled in 1 hr = [1/a+ 1/b-1/c] ∴ Time taken to fill the tank =abc/(bc + ac – ab) hrs.
  • A pipe can fill a tank in a hrs. Due to a leak in the bottom it is filled in b hrs. If the tank is full, the time taken by the leak to empty the tank = ab/(b - a) hrs.

Calculation:

P → 6 hrs (Fill), Q → 9 hrs (Fill), R → 12 hrs (Empty)

In 1 hr, (P + R) can fill: [1/6 - 1/12]

In 4 hrs, (P + R) can fill: 4(16112)=134\left( {\frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{{12}}} \right) = \frac{1}{3}

After 4 hrs, P is closed and Q is opened for 6 hours:

In 6 hrs, (R + Q) can fill: 6(112+19)=166\left( {-\frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{{9}}} \right) = \frac{1}{6}

Total tank filled in 10 hours (4 + 6 hrs): (13+16)=12\left( {\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6}} \right) = \frac{1}{2}

After 6 more hours, R is closed. So the remaining 1/2 part of the tank will be filled by Q only.

To fill 1/2 part, Q will take: 9/2 = 4.5 hrs

Total time taken to fill the tank = 10 + 4.5 = 14.5 hrs

Concept:

  • The roots of characteristic equation |A - λI| = 0 are known as Eigen values of matrix A.
  • To each Eigen value of λ if there exists a non-zero vector X such that AX = λX then X is called Eigen vector of matrix A corresponding to the Eigen value λ.

Calculation:

Given:

 \(\left[ A \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{{20}{c}} 4&8&4\ 8&{16}&{ - 4}\ 4&{ - 4}&{15} \end{array}} \right],;\left{ x \right} = \left{ {\begin{array}{{20}{c}} 2\ 1\ 4 \end{array}} \right};and;\left{ R \right} = \left{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {32}\ {16}\ {64} \end{array}} \right}\)

\(\left[ A \right]\left{ x \right} = \left{ R \right} = \left[ {\begin{array}{{20}{c}} 4&8&4\ 8&{16}&{ - 4}\ 4&{ - 4}&{15} \end{array}} \right]\left{ {\begin{array}{{20}{c}} 2\ 1\ 4 \end{array}} \right} = \left{ {\begin{array}{{20}{c}} {32}\ {16}\ {64} \end{array}} \right} = 16\left{ {\begin{array}{{20}{c}} 2\ 1\ 4 \end{array}} \right}\)

This is in the form of AX = λX, where λ is Eigenvalue.

∴ One of the Eigenvalue of matrix [A] is 16

Answer: ((c))

2√2

Concept:

Directional derivative of a function f along the vector u^\hat u  is given by

DD=f.uuDD = \nabla f.\frac{{\vec u}}{{\left| u \right|}}

grad f or ∇ f is defined by the equation,

grad;f=f=ifx+jfy+kfzgrad;f = \nabla f = i\frac{{\partial f}}{{\partial x}} + j\frac{{\partial f}}{{\partial y}} + k\frac{{\partial f}}{{\partial z}}

Calculation:

f (x, y) = x2 + y2

Line vector from (0,0) to (1,1) is

(1 – 0) î + (1 – 0) ĵ = î + ĵ

f=ix(x2+y2)+j^y(x2+y2)\nabla f = i\frac{\partial }{{\partial x}}\left( {{x^2} + {y^2}} \right) + \hat j\frac{\partial }{{\partial y}}\left( {{x^2} + {y^2}} \right)

f=i^(2x)+j^(2y)(f)1,1=2i^+2j^\nabla f = \hat i\left( {2x} \right) + \hat j\left( {2y} \right) \Rightarrow {\left( {\nabla f} \right)_{1,1}} = 2\hat i + 2\hat j

∴ Directional derivative of f (x, y) at (1, 1) in the direction of î + ĵ is

(f)1,1.(i^+j^)i^+j^{\left( {\nabla f} \right)_{1,1}}.\frac{{\left( {\hat i + \hat j} \right)}}{{\left| {\hat i + \hat j} \right|}}

(2i^+2j^).(i+j^)i^+j^=2+212+12;=42=22 \Rightarrow \left( {2\hat i + 2\hat j} \right).\frac{{\left( {i + \hat j} \right)}}{{\left| {\hat i + \hat j} \right|}} = \frac{{2 + 2}}{{\sqrt {{1^2} + {1^2}} ;}} = \frac{4}{{\sqrt 2 }} = 2\sqrt 2

    y= e4x + 5

  4. ((d))

    y= e4x + 1.25

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

y = e-4x + 1.25

Concept:

If the differential equation is in the form of:

dydx+Py=Q\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} + Py = Q

Integrating factor: 

IF=ePdxIF = {e^{\smallint Pdx}}

Solution for equation:

y(IF)=(IF)Qdx+C{\rm{y}}\left( {{\rm{IF}}} \right) = \smallint \left( {{\rm{IF}}} \right){{\rm{Q}}{\rm{}}}{\rm{dx}} + {\rm{C}}

Calculation:

dydx+4y=5\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} + 4y = 5

where 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 and y (0) = 2.25

This differential equation is in the linear form,

dydx+Py=Q\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} + Py = Q

Where P = 4, Q = 5

IF=ePdx=e4dx=e4x\therefore IF = {e^{\smallint Pdx}} = {e^{\smallint 4dx}} = {e^{4x}}

Solution of differential equation

y(e4x)=5.e4x.dx+cy\left( {{e^{4x}}} \right) = \smallint 5.{e^{4x}}.dx + c

ye4x=5e4x4+cy{e^{4x}} = 5\frac{{{e^{4x}}}}{4} + c

Using y (0) = 2.25

2.25×e0=5e04+c=1.25+c2.25 \times {e^0} = 5\frac{{{e^0}}}{4} + c = 1.25 + c

c = 1

ye4x=54e4x+1y=54+e4xy=e4x+1.25\therefore y{e^{4x}} = \frac{5}{4}{e^{4x}} + 1 \Rightarrow y = \frac{5}{4} + {e^{ - 4x}} \Rightarrow y = {e^{ - 4x}} + 1.25

Concept:

If VA and VB are velocity at point A and B respectively then the I-centre of this system will be finding by the meeting point of perpendicular drawn on the both velocity vector.

If w is the angular velocity of system, then 

VAAIC=VBBIC=ω\frac{{{{\vec V}_A}}}{{A{I_C}}} = \frac{{{{\vec V}_B}}}{{B{I_C}}} = \omega

Calculation:

∵ AI = AC sin 60° = AC × √3/2 = √3/2

CI = AC cos 60° = AC × 1/2 = 1/2 

Vp=(AI)ww=VPAI=23Vp\therefore {V_p} = \left( {AI} \right)w \Rightarrow w = \frac{{{V_P}}}{{AI}} = \frac{2}{{\sqrt 3 }}{V_p}

VR = (CI)w ⇒ w = VR/CI = 2VR

ϵx=σxEμ(σyE+σzE){\epsilon_x} = \frac{{{\sigma _x}}}{E} - \mu \left( {\frac{{{\sigma _y}}}{E} + \frac{{{\sigma _z}}}{E}} \right)

Calculation:

σ1 = 100 MPa, μ = 0.3 and ϵ = 200 MPa

∵ It is uniaxial tensile stress so, σ2 = σ3 = 0

ϵ1=σ1Eμ(σ2E+σ3E){\epsilon_1} = \frac{{{\sigma _1}}}{E} - \mu \left( {\frac{{{\sigma _2}}}{E} + \frac{{{\sigma _3}}}{E}} \right)

ϵ1=σ1E=100200=0.5 \Rightarrow {\epsilon_1} = \frac{{{\sigma _1}}}{E} = \frac{{100}}{{200}} = 0.5

ϵ2=σ2Eμ(σ1E+σ3E)=μσ1E \Rightarrow {\epsilon_2} = \frac{{{\sigma _2}}}{E} - \mu \left( {\frac{{{\sigma _1}}}{E} + \frac{{{\sigma _3}}}{E}} \right) = - \mu \frac{{{\sigma _1}}}{E}

ϵ2=0.3(100200)=0.15(ϵ1,ϵ2)=(0.5,0.15) \Rightarrow {\epsilon_2} = - 0.3\left( {\frac{{100}}{{200}}} \right) = - 0.15\therefore \left( {{\epsilon_1},\epsilon{_2}} \right) = \left( {0.5, - 0.15} \right)

increase in the surface roughness and increase in the size of the beam

Explanation:

Corrected endurance strength is defined as

σe = Ka Kb Kc Kde

where, σe = Endurance strength and Ka = size factor, Kb = surface factor, Kc = load factor, Kd = Temperature factor

{Ka, Kb, Kc, Kd} < 1

So, with the increases in surface roughness and size of the beam, endurance strength will decrease.

Explanation:

Cross-sectional area varies linearly in the direction of heat transfer:

A = cx + B

1 – D steady state with no heat generation

ddt(kAdTdx)=0\frac{d}{{dt}}\left( { - kA\frac{{dT}}{{dx}}} \right) = 0

kAdTdx=c1dT=c1kAdx=c1K(cx+B)dx=c1cKln(cx+B)x1x2 \Rightarrow - kA\frac{{dT}}{{dx}} = {c_1} \Rightarrow \smallint dT = - \smallint \frac{{{c_1}}}{{kA}}dx = - \smallint \frac{{{c_1}}}{{K\left( {cx + B} \right)}}dx = - \frac{{{c_1}}}{{cK}}\ln \left( {cx + B} \right)\left. \right|_{{x_1}}^{{x_2}}

T2T1=CKln(cx2+Bcx1+B); \Rightarrow {T_2} - {T_1} = - \frac{C}{K}\ln \left( {\frac{{c{x_2} + B}}{{c{x_1} + B}}} \right);

i.e. temperature variation is logarithmic.

For a pure substance undergoing an infinitesimal reversible process.

  1. dU = Tds – pdV
  2. dH = dU + pdV + Vdp = Tds + Vdp
  3. df = dU – Tds – SdT = –pdv – SdT
  4. dG = dH – Tds – SdT = Vdb – Sdt

for dz = Mdx + Ndy

(My)x=(Nx)y{\left( {\frac{{\partial M}}{{\partial y}}} \right)_x} = {\left( {\frac{{\partial N}}{{\partial x}}} \right)_y}

Applying this to the four equations:

Bounded by open surface of hemisphere x2 + y2 + z2 = 1

Such that z ≥ 0, and closed curve (x2 + y2 = 1)

We have to find

I=(×u).n^dsI = \smallint \left( {\nabla \times u} \right).\hat nds

⇒ from stokes theorem, we have

!!!s(×u).n^ds=cu.dr\mathop \int!!!\int \nolimits_s \left( {\nabla \times u} \right).\hat nds = \mathop \oint \nolimits_c u.dr

\( \Rightarrow I = \frac{1}{3}\left{ { - \oint {y^3}dx + \oint {x^3}dy} \right}\)

Now, changing the integral with substitution

x = cos θ ⇒ dx = -sin θ dθ

y = sin θ ⇒ dy = cos θ dθ

\(I = \frac{1}{3}\mathop \smallint \nolimits_0^{2\pi } {\sin ^4}\theta d\theta + \mathop \smallint \nolimits_0^{2\pi } \frac{1}{3}{\cos ^4}\theta d\theta \)

Answer: ((a))

y = C2x2 + C1x + 2

Given differential equation:

x2d2ydx22xdydx+2y=4{x^2}\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}} - 2x\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} + 2y = 4

is the standard form of Euler-Cauchy DE.

So, let x = ez

⇒ dx = ezdz = x.dz

1dz=xdxi.e.ddz=xddx \Rightarrow \frac{1}{{dz}} = \frac{x}{{dx}}i.e.\frac{d}{{dz}} = x\frac{d}{{dx}}

Similarly, we can obtain x2d2dx2=d2dz2ddz{x^2}\frac{{{d^2}}}{{d{x^2}}} = \frac{{{d^2}}}{{d{z^2}}} - \frac{d}{{dz}}

⇒ xD = θ

⇒ x2D2 = θ (θ - 1)

Making these substitutions in given DE, we get

x2d2ydx22xdydx+2y=4{x^2}\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}} - 2x\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} + 2y = 4

(θ (θ - 1) – 2θ + 2) y = 4

θ (θ - 1) – 2(θ – 1) = 0

⇒ Solution for this will constitute of CF & PI.

⇒ CF = (θ – 1) (θ – 2) = 0 ⇒ θ = 1 & θ = 2

⇒ y = c1ez + c2e2z = c1x + c2x

y = CF + PI = c2x2 + c1x + 2

Answer: ((d))

1 kg, 9 kg

Concept:

For perfectly elastic collision momentum and kinetic energy is conserved and the coefficient of restitution is equal to 1.

Calculation:

Given:

mass of ball = 3 kg

Initial velocity = 4 m/s

Ball undergoes elastic collision, perfectly, with a second ball of mass m.

KE of 3 kg ball after the collision is 6 J.

To find possible value of m.

For perfect elastic collision.

Coefficient of restitution = 1

Velocity;of;separationVelocity;of;aproach=1\frac{{Velocity;of;separation}}{{Velocity;of;aproach}} = 1

(V2V1)u1u2=(V2V1)40=1V2V1=4V1=V24 \Rightarrow \frac{{\left( {{V_2} - {V_1}} \right)}}{{{u_1} - {u_2}}} = \frac{{\left( {{V_2} - {V_1}} \right)}}{{4 - 0}} = 1 \Rightarrow {V_2} - {V_1} = 4 \Rightarrow {V_1} = {V_2} - 4

Also KE before collision = KE after collision

12m1u12+12m2u22=12m1v12+12m2v22 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}{m_1}u_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}{m_2}u_2^2 = \frac{1}{2}{m_1}v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}{m_2}v_2^2

3×(16)2+0=6+12mv22 \Rightarrow \frac{{3 \times \left( {16} \right)}}{2} + 0 = 6 + \frac{1}{2}mv_2^2

⇒ 48 = 12 + mv22 ⇒ mv22 = 36

Also, from conservation of linear momentum we have

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

(3 × 4) + 0 = 3v1 + mv

⇒ 12 = 3v1 + mv

12=3(v24)+mv212+12=(3+m)v2v2=243+m \Rightarrow 12 = 3\left( {{v_2} - 4} \right) + m{v_2} \Rightarrow 12 + 12 = \left( {3 + m} \right){v_2} \Rightarrow {v_2} = \frac{{24}}{{3 + m}}

mv22 = 36

m(243+m)2=36 \Rightarrow m{\left( {\frac{{24}}{{3 + m}}} \right)^2} = 36

⇒ m (48) = 3 (3 + m)2 ⇒ 9 + 6m + m2 = 16 m

⇒ m2 – 10 m + 9 = 0 ⇒ (m - 9) (m - 1) = 0

m = 9 or m = 1

⇒ correct option is d).

i) Since the pairs are in contact at interface, so the expansion/compression in the cylinders at interface will be such that the interface in contact must remain in contact so uMr = uNr otherwise joint will separate.

ii) Now it is given that the contact is friction less, so there will be no any resistance to relative slip at interface. So, we cannot arrive at any relation between uNθ & uMθ

iii) Now the radial stress caused in cylinder at interface are shown below separately.

From newtons third law, FN = FM as no external forces are at junction. Also the junction area for M & N are same

FNA=FMAσrN=σrM \Rightarrow \frac{{{F_N}}}{A} = \frac{{{F_M}}}{A} \Rightarrow \sigma _r^N = \sigma _r^M

iv) σθ is stress as shown, it will depend on material properly which is different for M & N, so they are not equal.

So correct option is 1

    qL460EI\frac{{q{L^4}}}{{60EI}}

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

qL430EI\frac{{q{L^4}}}{{30EI}}

Explanation:

To find maximum deflection expression.

Students are advised to memorise the standard results. This δ=qL430EI\delta = \frac{{q{L^4}}}{{30EI}} is a standard result for cantilever beam with UVL.

For derivation of formula refer this

Here w=pxLw = \frac{{px}}{L} per unit length at a distance x from O

EId4ydx4=pxL\therefore EI\frac{{{d^4}y}}{{d{x^4}}} = - \frac{{px}}{L}

EId3ydx3=px22L+C1EI\frac{{{d^3}y}}{{d{x^3}}} = - \frac{{p{x^2}}}{{2L}} + {C_1}

S.F. is zero at x = 0, giving C1 = 0

EId3ydx3=px22L\therefore EI\frac{{{d^3}y}}{{d{x^3}}} = - \frac{{p{x^2}}}{{2L}}

EId2ydx2=px36L+C2EI\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}} = - \frac{{p{x^3}}}{{6L}} + {C_2}

B.M. is zero at x = 0, giving C2 = 0

EId2ydx2=px36L\therefore EI\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}} = - \frac{{p{x^3}}}{{6L}}

Integrate again

EIdydx=px424L+C3EI\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = - \frac{{p{x^4}}}{{24L}} + {C_3}

But;dydx=0;at;x=L,;givingBut;\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 0;at;x = L,;giving

0=pL424L+C30 = - \frac{{p{L^4}}}{{24L}} + {C_3}

i.e.,;C3=pL324i.e.,;{C_3} = \frac{{p{L^3}}}{{24}}

dydx=1EI(px424L+pL324)=p24LEI(L4x4)\therefore \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{1}{{EI}}\left( { - \frac{{p{x^4}}}{{24L}} + \frac{{p{L^3}}}{{24}}} \right) = \frac{p}{{24LEI}}\left( {{L^4} - {x^4}} \right)

y=p24LEI(L4xx55)+C4y = \frac{p}{{24LEI}}\left( {{L^4}x - \frac{{{x^5}}}{5}} \right) + {C_4}

Now y = 0 at x = L, giving

0=p24EIL(L5L55)+C40 = \frac{p}{{24EIL}}\left( {{L^5} - \frac{{{L^5}}}{5}} \right) + {C_4}

C4=4pL55×24EIL=pL430EI{C_4} = - \frac{{4p{L^5}}}{{5 \times 24EIL}} = - \frac{{p{L^4}}}{{30EI}}

y=p24LEI(L4xx55)pL430EI\therefore y = \frac{p}{{24LEI}}\left( {{L^4}x - \frac{{{x^5}}}{5}} \right) - \frac{{p{L^4}}}{{30EI}}

y=p120EIL(4L55L4x+x5)y = - \frac{p}{{120EIL}}\left( {4{L^5} - 5{L^4}x + {x^5}} \right)

Since the deflection will be maximum at the end O i.e. at x = 0, put this in the above obtained expression to get δ=pL430EI\delta = \frac{{p{L^4}}}{{30EI}}, where negative indicates the deflection is towards negative y axis.

A slender uniform rigid bar of mass m is hinged at O and supported by two springs, with stiffnesses 3k and k, and a damper with damping coefficient c, as shown in the figure. For the system to be critically damped, the ratio ckm\frac{c}{\sqrt {km} } should be

  1. ((a))

    2

  2. ((b))

    4

  3. ((c))

    2√7

  4. ((d))

    4√7

Show Answer
Answer: ((d))

4√7

For small angular rotation θ of the rod, compression in the spring (3k) is

\({\delta 1} = \left( {\frac{L}{4}} \right)\theta \Rightarrow {F_1} = {F{3k}} = {k_1}{\delta _1} = 3k\frac{L}{4}\theta = \frac{3}{4}kL\theta \)

Expansion of damper:

δ2=(L4)θ{\delta _2} = \left( {\frac{L}{4}} \right)\theta

δ˙2=L4θ˙ \Rightarrow {\dot \delta _2} = \frac{L}{4}\dot \theta

F2=Fc=C;δ˙2=CL4θ˙ \Rightarrow {F_2} = {F_c} = C;{\dot \delta _2} = \frac{{CL}}{4}\dot \theta

Expansion of spring with stiffness k is

δ3=(L2+L4)θ=3L4θ{\delta _3} = \left( {\frac{L}{2} + \frac{L}{4}} \right)\theta = \frac{{3L}}{4}\theta

F3=Fk=3L4θk \Rightarrow {F_3} = {F_k} = \frac{{3L}}{4}\theta k

Now taking moment of all forces about O and inertia forces to be zero, we get

Iθ ¨,+34kLθ(L4)+CL4θ˙L4+3L4θk(3L4)=0I\overset{\ddot{\ }}{\mathop{\theta }},+\frac{3}{4}kL\theta \left( \frac{L}{4} \right)+\frac{CL}{4}\dot{\theta }\frac{L}{4}+\frac{3L}{4}\theta k\left( \frac{3L}{4} \right)=0

I=Iabout;centre+m(L4)2=mL212+mL216=7mL248I = {I_{about;centre}} + m{\left( {\frac{L}{4}} \right)^2} = \frac{{m{L^2}}}{{12}} + \frac{{m{L^2}}}{{16}} = \frac{{7m{L^2}}}{{48}}

748mL2θ ¨,+316kL2θ+916kL2θ+CL216θ˙=0\frac{7}{48}m{{L}^{2}}\overset{\ddot{\ }}{\mathop{\theta }},+\frac{3}{16}k{{L}^{2}}\theta +\frac{9}{16}k{{L}^{2}}\theta +\frac{C{{L}^{2}}}{16}\dot{\theta }=0

Comparing with: meqθ̈ + ceqθ̇ +keqθ = 0

\(\Rightarrow \xi =\frac{{{C}{eq}}}{2\sqrt{{{k}{eq}}{{m}_{eq}}}}=\frac{C{{L}^{2}}}{2\sqrt{12k{{L}^{2}}\times \frac{7}{3}m{{L}^{2}}}}=\frac{C{{L}^{2}}}{2\sqrt{12k{{L}^{2}}\times \frac{7}{3}m{{L}^{2}}}}=\frac{1}{2\left( 2\sqrt{7} \right)}\frac{C}{\sqrt{mk}}\)

Also for critical damping ξ = 1

Cmk×147=1\Rightarrow \frac{C}{\sqrt{mk}}\times \frac{1}{4\sqrt{7}}=1

Cmk=47\Rightarrow \frac{C}{\sqrt{mk}}=4\sqrt{7}

The figure shows a heat engine (HE) working between two reservoirs. The amount of heat (Q2) rejected by the heat engine is drawn by a heat pump (HP). The heat pump receives the entire work output (W) of the heat engine. If temperatures, T1 > T3 > T2, then the relation between the efficiency (η) of the heat engine and the coefficient of performance (COP) of the heat pump is

  1. ((a))

    COP = η

  2. ((b))

    COP = 1 + η

  3. ((c))

    COP = η-1

  4. ((d))

    COP = η -1 – 1

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

COP = η-1

Concept:

Heat engine:

The efficiency (η) of a heat engine is defined as:

η=Work done by heat engineHeat absorbed from the sourceη = \frac{\text{Work done by heat engine}}{\text{Heat absorbed from the source}}

η=WQ1\therefore η = \frac{W}{Q_1}

Heat pump:

The COP of Heat Pump is given by:

COPHP=Desired;OutputRequired;Input=Q1WCO{P_{HP}} = \frac{{Desired;Output}}{{Required;Input}} = \frac{{{Q_1}}}{W}

Calculation:

Given:

To find a relationship between (η) of a heat engine and COP of a heat pump.

For heat engine \(\eta =\frac{W}{{{Q}{1}}}\) and for heat pump \(COP=\frac{{{Q}{3}}}{W}\)

From energy balance for heat pump ⇒ Q3 = W + Q2

And From energy balance for heat engine ⇒ Q2 = Q1 – W

Q3 = W + Q1 – W = Q

\(\therefore COP_{HP}=\frac{{{Q}{3}}}{W}=\frac{{{Q}{1}}}{W}=\frac{1}{\eta }\)

    32.0% and 68.0%

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

22.2% and 77.8%

Concept:

For finding the wt % of liquid present in alloy, we use the lever rule.

The weight fraction of solid-phase:

Xs=wowlwswl{X_s} = \frac{{{w_o} - {w_l}}}{{{w_s} - {w_l}}}

The weight fraction of liquid phase:

Xl=wswowswl{X_l} = \frac{{{w_s} - {w_o}}}{{{w_s} - {w_l}}}

where ws, wo, wl denote the solid, overall and liquid composition.

Calculation:

Given an alloy x containing 60% P and 40% Q. To find % of solid and liquid fractions at 1250°C from lever rule, we have 

\({{m}{s}}=\left( \frac{{{m}{y}}-{{m}{L}}}{{{m}{s}}-{{m}_{L}}} \right)\)

ms=40326832=22.22%{{m}_{s}}=\frac{40-32}{68-32}=22.22\%

∵ my, mL & ms are in % ⇒ direct substitution will give result in %.

\(also,~{{m}{liq}}=-\frac{\left( {{m}{y}}-{{m}{s}} \right)}{\left( {{m}{s}}-{{m}_{L}} \right)}=\frac{-40+68}{68-32}=77.8%\)

We are asked to calculate the time along critical path. For complete analysis of critical path we need to do forward pass and backward pass computation. In this question only time is asked, and we know that the time along the critical path is maximum of all the paths in our network so we will directly evaluate the maximum time along any path and mark the answer to save time. Also forward and backward pass computation is necessary if we are asked to find critical path or float related parameters.

In this question “<” & “>” symbols are used to just describe the precedence relationship.

i.e. A < B means A occurs before B.

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

ω2r

Concept:

Velocity diagram and Acceleration diagram, Vt=rω{V_t} = r\omega  and ar=rω2{a_r} = r{\omega ^2}

Trigonometric relations: for an isosceles triangle two sides are equal.

To find acceleration of the slider crank using exact analysis.

VA → velocity of A w.r.t. O

VBA → velocity of B w.r.t. A.

Velocity component of B along x direction = VBAcos 45

Also due to the constraint on slider VBA along x = 0 (i.e. VBA is along y direction only)

⇒ VBA cos 45 = 0

⇒ VBA = 0

Also, VBA = VB - VA = 0 ⇒ VB = VA

Now, constructing the velocity diagram for given case VA = rω

Now Constructing the acceleration diagram:

∵ Point a will have two accelerations:

(i) Radial = rω2 towards 0.

(ii) Tangential aBA = unknown

Also, the tangential, component velocity of A = B, and acceleration will also be equal to y component of B. Also, the tangential acceleration of B will be in the direction shown by VBA in configuration diagram.

⇒ from trigonometry o’b’ = a’o’

⇒ ay = rω2 (upwards, so positive).
