  1. A tapered key which fits in a key way in the hub and the bottom of which is shaped to fit the curved surface of the shaft, is known as hollow saddle key.

  2. A.

    Correct

    B.

    Incorrect


  3. In levers, leverage is the ratio of

  4. A.

    load lifted to the effort applied

    B.

    mechanical advantage to the velocity ratio

    C.

    load arm to the effort arm

    D.

    effort arm to the load arm


  5. The diameter of washer is generally taken bigger than the nut size.

  6. A.

    True

    B.

    False


  7. Which of the following statement is wrong?

  8. A.

    The pitch of rivets is obtained by equating the tearing resistance of the plate to the shearing resistance of the rivets
