Answer: Option A
A cotter joint is used to connect two __________ rods.
A. Co-axial
B. Perpendicular
C. Parallel
D. None of these
The rated life of a bearing varies
A. Directly as load
B. Inversely as square of load
C. Inversely as cube of load
D. Inversely as fourth power of load
The bending stress in a curved beam is
A. Zero at the centroidal axis
B. Zero at the point other than centroidal axis
C. Maximum at the neutral axis
D. None of these
The centre to centre distance between two consecutive rivets in a row, is called
A. Margin
B. Pitch
C. Back pitch
D. Diagonal pitch
Electroplating is commonly used to build up worn or undersized parts, such as shafts, pins, and journals.
While it restores dimensions and improves corrosion resistance, it does not significantly improve or reduce fatigue strength.
The fatigue strength largely depends on the base material, surface finish, and residual stresses.
Option Reason
A. Best method Not always — other methods like thermal spraying or metal spraying may be better for fatigue or heavy loads.
B. Extremely hazardous False — it is a well-established and safe process when done correctly.
D. Cheapest method Not necessarily — it can be more expensive than welding or metal spraying for large areas.
