  2. opposite to angular velocity
  3. may be any one of these
  4. perpendicular to angular velocity
  5. none of the above.

Correct answer: (C)
may be any one of these

92. The absolute acceleration of any point P in a link about center of rotation 0 is

  1. along PO
  2. perpendicular to PO
  3. at 45° to PO
  4. along OP
  5. none of the above.

Correct answer: (E)
none of the above.

93. The Ackermann steering mechanism is preferred to the Davis type in automobiles because

  1. the former is mathematically accurate
  2. the former is having turning pair
  3. the former is most economical
  4. the former is most rigid
  5. none of thfr above.

Correct answer: (B)
the former is having turning pair

94. The advantage of the piston valve over D-slide valve is that in the former case

  1. wear is less
  2. power absorbed is less
  3. both wear and power absorbed are low
  4. the pressure developed being high provides tight sealing
  5. there is overall economy of initial cost, maintenance and operation.

Correct answer: (C)
both wear and power absorbed are low

95. The approximate straight line mechanism is a

  1. four bar linkage
  2. 6 bar linkage
  3. 8 bar linkage
  4. 3 bar linkage
  5. 5 bar linkage.

Correct answer: (A)
four bar linkage

96. The Bifilar suspension method is used to determine

  1. natural frequency of vibration
  2. position of balancing weights
  3. moment of inertia
  4. centripetal acceleration'
  5. angular acceleration of a body.

Correct answer: (C)
moment of inertia

97. The direction of Corioli's component of acceleration is the direction

  1. of relative velocity vector for the two coincident points rotated by 90° in the direction of the angular velocity of the rotation of the link
  2. along the centripetal acceleration
  3. along tangential acceleration
  4. along perpendicular to angular velocity
  5. none of the above.

Correct answer: (A)
of relative velocity vector for the two coincident points rotated by 90° in the direction of the angular velocity of the rotation of the link

98. The e.g. of a link in any mechanism would experience

  1. no acceleration

  3. angular acceleration
  4. both angular and linear accelerations
  5. none of the above.

Correct answer: (D)
both angular and linear accelerations

99. The example of higher pair is

  2. gears, cams
  3. ball and roller bearings
  4. all of the above
  5. none of the above.

Correct answer: (D)
all of the above

100. The example of lower pair is

  1. shaft revolving in a bearing
  2. straight line motion mechanisms
  3. automobile steering gear
  4. all of the above
  5. none of the above.

Correct answer: (D)
all of the above
