In a mass production firm, measurements are carried out on 1000 pairs of shaft and hole. The mean diameters of the shaft and the hole are 37.53 mm and 37.59 mm, respectively. The corresponding standard deviations are 0.03 mm and 0.04 mm. The mean clearance and its standard deviation (both in mm), respectively, are

A pressure die casting set-up was tested by injecting water (density 1000 kg/m
) at a pressure of 200 bar. Mould-filling time was found to be 0.05 s. Afterward, the actual casting is made by injecting the liquid metal (density 2000 kg/m
) at an injection pressure of 400 bar. Neglect all losses (friction, viscous-effect, etc.). The approximate mould-filling time (in s) isYour answerChoose one option.

A square cross-section wooden column of length 3140 mm is pinned at both ends. For the wood, Young’s modulus of elasticity is 12 GPa and allowable compressive stress is 12 MPa. The column needs to support an axial compressive load of 200 kN. Using a factor of safety of 2.0 in the computation of Euler’s buckling load, the minimum cross-sectional area (in mm
) of the column is _____Log in to check the answer
