(a) 437.5
(b) 137.5
(c) 284.5
(d) 384.1

Q6. Which cross-section of a cantilever beam which is loaded with UDL can give economical design–
(a) Square
(b) Circular
(c) I-Section
(d) Rectangular

Solutions

S1. Ans (c)
Sol. We know that
Kinetic energy correction factor (∝) = (K.E.based on actual velociy )/( K.E.based on Ideal velocity )
▭(∝ = (∫▒〖u^3 dA〗)/Av³).
As dimensions of numerator and denominator are same so, we can say that kinetic energy
correction factor (∝) is dimensionless or its dimension is M^0 L^0 T^0.

S2. Ans (a)
Sol. The Froude Number is a dimensionless parameter used in connection with open channel flow. For Fr < 1, flow is sub-critical; for Fr = 1, flow is critical and for Fr > 1, flow is supercritical

S3. Ans. (a)
Sol. Choke area (A)
A=m/(ρtɳ √2gH)
S4. Ans. (d)
Sol. Casting defects are blow holes, open blow, pin hole porosity, cuts and washes, metal penetration, fusion, runout, misrun and cold shut, slag inclusion hot tear and hot spot.

S5. Ans. (d)
Sol. moment of inertia of follow circular section
I=π/64 ( d_O^4-di_O^4 )
=π/64 (13^4-12^4 )
=384.1 cm^4
S6. Ans. (c)
Sol. I-section of a cantilever beam which is loaded with UDL will give must economical design as for strongest cross section, moment of resistance (M_R) should be maximum, which depend upon section modules (2). For same cross-sectional area, section modules of I-section is maximum, hence it will be most economical design.
