5. The life of an individual ball bearing is the time period for which it works without any signs of failures.
a) True
b) False
Answer: b
Clarification: It is measured by number of revolutions and not by time.

6. For majority of bearings, actual life is considerably greater than rated life.
a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Clarification: Stastically it has been proved that life which 50% of a group of bearings will exceed is approximately five times rating of rated life.

7. The dynamic load carrying capacity of a bearing is defined as the radial load in radial bearings that can be carried for a minimum life of 1000 revolutions.
a) True
b) False
Answer: b
Clarification: It is for 1 million revolutions.

8. In the expression of dynamic load capacity P=XVF(r) + YF(a), V stands for ?
a) Race rotation factor
b) Radial factor
c) Thrust factor
d) None of the listed
Answer: a
Clarification: It represent race rotation factor which depends upon whether inner race is rotating or outer race.

9. Calculate the bearing life if expected life for 90% bearings is 9000h and shaft is rotating at 1500rpm.
a) 850 million rev
b) 810 million rev
c) 810 h
d) 850h
Answer: b
Clarification: L=60x1500x9000/10⁶ million rev.

10. The bearing is subjected to a radial load of 4000N. Expected life for 90% bearings is 9000h and shaft is rotating at 1500rpm. Calculate the dynamic load capacity.
a) 42.21kN
b) 37.29kN
c) 26.33kN
d) 35.22kN
Answer: b
Clarification: C=4000x(810)⅓.

13. Needles bearing consist of rollers of small diameter and very small length.
a) True
b) False
Answer: b
Clarification: Also called as quill bearings, they consist of small diameter and comparatively longer b=rollers.

14. Extreme pressure causes ______ wear in the bearing parts.
a) Abrasive
b) Corrosive
c) Pitting
d) All of the mentioned
Answer: b
Clarification: Extreme pressure elements in EP additives are added in lubricating oils.
