Q1. A force P is applied at a distance x from the end of the beam as shown in the figure. What would be the value of x so that the displacement at ‘A’ is equal to zero? 

Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q2. Consider a rotating disk cam and a translating roller follower with zero offset. Which one of the following pitch curves, parameterized by t, lying in the interval 0 to 2π, is associated with the maximum translation of the follower during one full rotation of the cam rotating about the center at (x, y) = (0, 0) ?
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

From all the four options the maximum amplitudes is in point ‘C’ as t = 0. 

Option ‘C’ has maximum net amplitude.

No Explaination.


Q5. A streamline and an equipotential line in a flow field
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:


Slope of equipotential Line × slope of stream function= -1 
They are orthogonal to each line other.
