For a ductile material, toughness is a measure of
(A) Resistance to scratching
(B) Ability to absorb energy up to fracture
© Ability to absorb energy till elastic limit
(D) Resistance to indentation
Answer: (B)
Explanations:- Since, toughness has ability to absorb energy up to fracture.
18. In order to have maximum power from a Pelton turbine, the bucket speed must
be
(A) Equal to the jet speed (B) Equal to half the jet speed
© Equal to twice the jet speed (D) Independent of the jet speed
Answer: (B)
Explanation: Since, velocity of bucket = ½ times the velocity of jet.
19. Consider one-dimensional steady state heat conduction along x-axis (0 £ x £ L) ,
through a plane wall with the boundary surfaces (x = 0 and x = L) maintained at
temperatures 0ºC and 100ºC. Heat is generated uniformly throughout the wall.
Choose the CORRECT statement.
(A) The direction of heat transfer will be from the surface at 100ºC to surface at
0ºC.
(B) The maximum temperature inside the wall must be greater than 100ºC
© The temperature distribution is linear within the wall
(D) The temperature distribution is symmetric about the mid-plane of the wall
Answer: (B)
