 Solid mechanics

1.Point at which BM changes to zero is point of contra flexure. It occurs in

overhanging beam

2. What is spring index (C)?

The ratio of mean or pitch diameter to the diameter of wire for the spring
is called the spring index.

3. If load is acting on the beam which is perpendicular to center line of it is

called transverse loading of beam.

Sol. False

3. Which of the following thermodynamic quantities is an outcome of the second law of

thermodynamics?

(A) enthalpy (B) internal energy

(C) work (D) entropy

Sol is D

4. One mole of an ideal gas is heated at constant pressure from 0°C to 100°C. Calculate work done.

(a) Work done during heating of gas form 0°C to 100°C is

W = -PΔV = -P(V2 - V1) = -P[(nRT2/P)-(nRT1/P)]

= –nR (T2–T1) = –1 × 1.987 × (373 – 273)

= -198.7 cal
