12. Which are the two stresses that act inside crankshaft?
a) Shear and bending stress
b) Compressive and bending stress
c) Tensile and compressive stress
d) Compressive and shear stress
Answer: b
Clarification: Compressive and bending stress are the two stresses that act inside crankshaft and two resist these two stresses a reactive force R1 and R2 are produced.
13. Which of the mentioned below is the formula for total compressive stress?
a) A+B=C
b) (σc)t=σc+σb
c) τc=τa+τb
d) ρ=ω+σ
Answer: b
Clarification: (σc)t=σc+σb is the formula for total compressive stress, always stress is represented by σ and shear stress is represented by τ. Hence, (σc)t=σc+σb is the right answer.
14. Which of the mentioned below is the equation of resultant bending moment?
a) τ=(sqrt{(eta_b)v^2+(rho_b)h^2})
