Working

B

Damaging

C

Allowable

D

None of these

When an open coiled helical compression spring is subjected to an axial compressive load, the maximum shear stress induced in the wire is (where D = Mean diameter of the spring coil, d = Diameter of the spring wire, K = Wahl's stress factor and W = Axial compressive load on the spring)

A

$$\frac{{{\text{WD}}}}{{\pi {{\text{d}}^3}}} \times {\text{K}}$$

B

$$\frac{{2{\text{WD}}}}{{\pi {{\text{d}}^3}}} \times {\text{K}}$$

C

$$\frac{{4{\text{WD}}}}{{\pi {{\text{d}}^3}}} \times {\text{K}}$$

D

$$\frac{{8{\text{WD}}}}{{\pi {{\text{d}}^3}}} \times {\text{K}}$$

A closely coiled helical spring is acted upon by an axial force. The maximum shear stress developed in the spring is $$\tau $$. The half of the length of the spring if cut off and the remaining spring is acted upon by the same axial force. The maximum shear stress in the spring in new condition will be

A

$$\frac{\tau }{2}$$

B

$$\tau $$

C

$$2\tau $$

D

$$4\tau $$

When a body is subjected to biaxial stress i.e. direct stresses ($${\sigma _{\text{x}}}$$) and ($${\sigma _{\text{y}}}$$) in two mutually perpendicular planes accompanied by a simple shear stress ($${\tau _{{\text{xy}}}}$$ ), then maximum shear stress is

A

$$\frac{1}{2}\sqrt {{{\left( {{\sigma _{\text{x}}} - {\sigma _{\text{y}}}} \right)}^2} + 4\tau _{{\text{xy}}}^2} $$

B

$$\frac{1}{2}\sqrt {{{\left( {{\sigma _{\text{x}}} + {\sigma _{\text{y}}}} \right)}^2} + 4\tau _{{\text{xy}}}^2} $$

C

$$\sqrt {{{\left( {{\sigma _{\text{x}}} - {\sigma _{\text{y}}}} \right)}^2} + \tau _{{\text{xy}}}^2} $$

D

$$\sqrt {{{\left( {{\sigma _{\text{x}}} + {\sigma _{\text{y}}}} \right)}^2} + \tau _{{\text{xy}}}^2} $$

In the triaxial compression test, the application of additional axial stress (i.e. deviator stress) on the soil specimen produces shear stress on

A

horizontal plane only

B

vertical plane only

C

both horizontal and vertical planes

D

all planes except horizontal and vertical planes

The gypsys are a tribe of strange people. They do not have any fixed home but wander about from place to place and live in tents. they were originally natives of India. But as they reached England from Egypt ,the English took them from Egyptians. this is why they came to be called gypsys. they were beloved to possess strange powers. they could tell your fortune by reading the palm of your hand. it was thought they stole little children to train them in their way of life. whenever a child got lost it was thought that it has been carried away by gypsys so they were arrested and sent for trial. but this attitude towards the Gypsy has gradually changed.The gypsies are people who ---

A

have a settled way of life

B

came originally from Egypt to England

C

are always on the move

D

steal children to train them in the way of life
