  5. In a multiple V-belt drive, when a single belt is damaged, it is preferable to change the complete set to

  6. A.
    reduce vibration
    B.
    reduce slip
    C.
    ensure uniform loading
    D.

  11. The acceleration of piston in a reciprocating steam engine is given by (where ω = Angular velocity of crank, r = Radius of crank pin circle, θ = Angle turned by crank from inner dead centre, and n = Ratio of length of connecting rod to the radius of crank)


  12. Torsional vibrations are said to occur when the particles of a body moves

  13. A.
    perpendicular to its axis
    B.
    parallel to its axis
    C.
    in a circle about its axis
    D.
    none of these

  14. A body is said to vibrate with simple harmonic motion if its acceleration is proportional to the distance from the mean position.

  15. A.
    Yes
    B.
    No

    Correct
    B.
    Incorrect

  18. The virtual or equivalent eccentric for the Meyer's expansion valve is defined as an eccentric having such a length and angle of advance that will cause cut-off to take place at the same position, as is caused by the combined effect of main eccentric and expansion eccentric.

  19. A.
    Right
    B.
    Wrong
