A force of 500N1 is applied to a steel wire of cross-sectional area 0.2m2, The tensile stress is

A.

2.5x104Nm-2

B.

1.0x102Nm-2

C.

1.0x103Nm-2

D.

2.5x103Nm-2

Correct answer is D

\(Stress = \frac{Force}{Area}\)

\(Stress = \frac{500}{0.2} = 2500\)

= 2.5 x 103Nm-3

A wheel and an axle is used to raise a load whose weight is 800N when an effort of 250N is applied. If the radii of the wheel and axle are 800mm and 200mm respectively, the efficiency of the machine is

A.

90%

B.

80%

C.

85%

D.

87%

Correct answer is B

VR = 800/200 = 4
\(Efficiency = \frac{MA}{VR} \times \frac{100}{1}\)

\(Efficiency = \frac{L}{E} \times \frac{1}{VR} \times \frac{100}{1}\)

\(Efficiency = \frac{800}{250} \times \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{100}{1}\)

= 78.74%
= 80%

A machine whose efficiency is 75% is used to lift a load of 1000N. Calculate the effort put in to the machine if it has a Velocity ratio of 4.

A.

343.32N

B.

233.33N

C.

333.33N

D.

334.33N

Correct answer is C

\(\frac{MA}{VR}\times\frac{100}{1}=efficiency\)

\(\frac{L}{E}\frac{1}{VR}\times\frac{100}{1}=75\)

\(\frac{1000}{E}\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{100}{1}=75\)

\(E = \frac{250 \times 100}{75}\)

E = 333.3N
