one smaller nut is tightened over main nut and main nut tightened against smaller one by loosening, creating friction jamming
a slot is cut partly in middle of nut and then slot reduced by tightening screw
a hard fiber or nylon cotter is recessed in the nut and becomes threaded as the nut is screwed on the bolt causing a tight grip
through slots are made at top and a cotter-pin is passed through these and a hole in the bolt, and cotter pin splitted and bent in reverse direction at the other end
none of the above.
Correct answer: (B) a slot is cut partly in middle of nut and then slot reduced by tightening screw
83. Spring index is
ratio of coil diameter to wire diameter
load required to produce unit deflection
its capability of storing energy
indication of quality of spring
nothing.
Correct answer: (A) ratio of coil diameter to wire diameter
84. Spring stiffness is
ratio of coil diameter to wire diameter
load required to produce unit deflection
its capability of storing energy
its ability to absorb shocks
none of the above.
Correct answer: (B) load required to produce unit deflection
85. Stress concentration in cyclic loading is more serious in
ductile materials
brittle materials
equally serious in both cases
depends on other factors
unpredictable.
Correct answer: (A) ductile materials
86. Stress concentration in static loading is more serious in
ductile materials
brittle materials
equally serious in both cases
depends on other factors
unpredictable.
Correct answer: (B) brittle materials
87. Stress concentration is caused due to
variation in properties of material from point to point in a member
pitting at'points or areas at which loads on a member are applied
abrupt change of section
all of the above
none of the above.
Correct answer: (D) all of the above
88. Taper on the cotter and slot is provided
on both the sides
on one side only
on none of the sides
may be provided anywhere
none of the above.
Correct answer: (B) on one side only
89. Taper usually provided on cotter is
1 in 5
1 in 10
1 in 24
1 in 40
