1. typewriter mechanism has 7 number of binary joints, six links and none of higher pairs. The mechanism is

  1. kinematically sound
  2. not sound
  3. soundness would depend upon which link is kept fixed
  4. data is not sufficient to determine same
  5. none of the above.

Correct answer: (A)
kinematically sound

2. A body having moment of inertia o:m2 is rotating at 210 RPM and r with another body at rest having I 40 kg m2. The resultant speed after ing will be

  1. 90 RPM
  2. 100 RPM
  3. 80 RPM
  4. data are insufficient
  5. none of the above.

Correct answer: (A)
90 RPM

3. A cam mechanism imparts following motion

  1. rotating
  2. oscillating
  3. reciprocating
  4. all of the above
  5. none of the above.

Correct answer: (D)
all of the above

4. A cam with a roller follower would con stitute following type of pair

Correct answer: (B)
higher pair

5. A chain comprises of 5 links having 5 joints. Is it kinematic chain ?

  1. yes
  2. no
  3. it is a marginal case
  4. data are insufficient to determine it

Correct answer: (B)
no

6. A circle passing through the pitch point with its center at the center of cam axis is known as

  1. pitch circle
  2. base circle
  3. prime circle
  4. outer circle
