3. In a steam engine, piston rod and the crosshead are usually connected by
means of:
a) Ball Joint
b) Cotter Joint
c) Universal Joint
d) Knuckle Joint
Answer: b) Cotter Joint
Reason: valve rod and it stem and piston connecting rods are the example
4) The distribution of force along the length of the key in a parallel sunk key is:
a) varies exponentially, being more at the torque input end
b) varies exponentially, being less at torque output end
c) Varies linearly
d) is uniform throughout
Answer: c) varies exponentially, being more at the torque input end, The
parallel sunk keys may be of rectangle-shaped or rectangle area consistent
wide and size throughout. It may be mentioned that a parallel key is a blend
less and is used where the lever, equipment or other propagation part needs to
slip along the base. In developing a key, causes due to fit of the key are
ignored and it is believed that the submission of causes along the duration of
key is consistent.
5) The key of a rectangular section and with the help of shaft it is connencted
to a spur gear transmitting power. Stresses developed in the key is fare:
a) Both shear and bearing stresses
