159 A single-point cutting tool with 120C rake angle is used to machine a steel work-piece. The depth
of cut, i.e., uncut thickness is 0.81 mm. The chip thickness under orthogonal machining condition is 1.8
mm. The shear angle is approximately
a) 220C
b) 260C
c) 560C
d) 760C
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Given : α= 12c, t= 0.81mm, tc= 1.8 mm, Shear angle, tanφ = [rcosα/1 – rsinα] ……….(i) ,
Chip thickness ratio, r = t/tc = 0.81/1.8 = 0.45
From equation (i), tanφ = [0.45cos120/1 – 0.45sin120]
φ = tan-1(0.486) = 25.910 – 260.

619 What is the velocity ratio of worm gears?
a) (lπ)/d2
b) (πd2)/l
c) l/(πd2)
d) d2/(lπ)
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Velocity ratio in worm gears is given as the ratio of the angle turned by the gear to the
angle turned by the worm.
Thus, velocity ratio = (2l/d2)/(2π) = l/(πd2).
820 What is the centre distance for the worm gear?
a) (mn/2)(T1 cotλ1 – T2)
b) (mn/2)(T2 cotλ1 + T1)
c) (mn/2)(T2 cotλ1 – T1)
d) (mn/2)(T1 cotλ1 + T2)
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: C = (mn/2)(T1 cotλ1 + T2)
This equation can be derived by using the formula for centre distance of a helical gear which is given
as C = (mn/2) ((T1/cos Ψ1) + (T2/cos Ψ2)
As, Ψ2 = λ1, Ψ1 = 90° – λ1.
621 What is the formula to calculate maximum efficiency of a worm gear?
a) (1+sinø)/(1-sinø)
b) (1-sinø)/(1+sinø)
c) (tan(λ1-ø))/tan λ1
d) (tan(λ1+ø))/tan λ1
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: The maximum efficiency of the worm gear is given to be (1-sinø)/(1+sinø), whereas the
efficiency of the worm gear is given as (tan(λ 1-ø))/tan λ1
622. Find the helix angle of the worm if the pitch of the worm gear is 12 mm and the pitch diameter is
50 mm.
a) 8.687°
b) 11.231°
c) 9.212°
d) 10.319°
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: tan λ1 = Lead / Pitch circumference = 2p/πd1 = 24/50π = 0.1528
λ1 = 8.687°.
623 Find the speed of the gear if the worm is a three start worm rotating at 500 rpm. The gear has 20
teeth.
a) 125 rpm
b) 100 rpm
c) 75 rpm
d) 50 rpm
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: N1/N2 = T2/T1
500/N2 = 20/3
N2 = 75 rpm
Thus, the gear rotates at a speed of 75 rpm.
624 For a two start worm gear having a pitch of 20 mm and a lead angle 12°, find the centre distance if
the larger gear has 25 teeth.
a) 148.22 mm
b) 124.93 mm
c) 121.19 mm
d) 109.53 mm
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: C = (mn/2)(T1 cotλ1 + T2)
Therefore, C = (pn/2π)(T1 cotλ1 + T2) = 109.53 mm.
625 Calculate the lead angle of the worm gear for maximum efficiency if θ = 90° and the coefficient of
friction is 0.05.
a) 48.21°
b) 42.23°
c) 43.57°
d) 46.43°
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: µ = 0.05°; ø = tan-1(0.05) = 2.862°; θ = 90°
For maximum efficiency, Ψ1 = (θ+ ø)/2 = 92.862/2 = 46.43°
Ψ1 = 90° – λ1 = 46.43°
λ1 = 90° – 46.43° = 43.57°.
626 Find the maximum efficiency if the lead angle is given to be 10° and the coefficient of friction is
0.07.
a) 79.82%
b) 72.23%
c) 76.29%
d) 70.72%
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: λ1 = 10°, ø = tan-1(0.07) = 4°
Efficiency = tan(λ1)/ tan(λ1+ ø) = 0.7072 = 70.72%.
627 Calculate the maximum efficiency of the worm gears which have a friction angle of 0.06.
a) 88.71%
b) 83.23%
c) 89.91%
d) 86.49%
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: ø = tan-1(0.06) = 3.43°
Maximum efficiency = (1-sin ø)/(1+sin ø) = 0.8871 = 88.71%.

737. A round billet made of 70-30 brass is extruded at a temperature of 675°C. The billet diameter is 125
mm, and the diameter of the extrusion is 50 mm. Calculate the extrusion force required.
a) 4 MN
b) 5 MN
c) 5.6 MN
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The extrusion force is calculated using
Eq. F = A0k ln(A0/Af)
in which the extrusion constant, k, is obtained.
For 70-30 brass, k = 250 MPa at the given extrusion temperature. Thus,
F = (3.14(125)2)/4 x (250) ln [(3.14(125)2)/(3.14(50)2)] = 4
= 5.6 MN.

a) .0066
b) .0078
c) .0021
d) .0056
View Answer

Answer: Option C
Solution:
According to Indian standards, the total numbers of tolerance grades are 18
28.Metal patterns are used for
A. Small castings
B. Large castings
C. Complicated castings
D. Large scale production of castings
Answer: Option D
Solution:
Patterns come in many materials, including wood, metal, plastics, and wax. The pattern material is chosen based on the
casting volume and process used. Wood and metal patterns are usually used with sand casting, while wax is rarely used
for anything but investment casting.
29.The machining allowance provided on patterns depends upon
A. Type of casting metal
B. Size and shape of casting
C. Method of casting used
D. All of these
Answer: Option D
Solution:
The machining allowance provided on patterns depends upon the Type of casting metal and the Size and shape of
casting and Method of casting used
30.The metal patterns as compared to wooden patterns require less
A. Shrinkage allowance
B. Machining allowance
C. Draft allowance
D. Distortion allowance
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Draft Allowance: by draft is meant the taper provided by the pattern maker on all vertical surfaces of the pattern so that
it can be removed from the sand without tearing away the sides of the sand mold and without excessive rapping by the
molder.
The metal patterns as compared to wooden patterns require less draft allowance.
21.In shielded arc welding
A. Large electrode is used
B. Welding rod coated with slag is used
C. Welding rod coated with fluxing material is used
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), also known as manual metal arc welding (MMA or MMAW), flux shielded arc
welding or informally as stick welding, is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode covered with a
flux to lay the weld.
22.The cold chisels are made from
A. Cast iron
B. Mild steel
C. High speed steel
D. Cast tool steel
Answer: Option D
Solution:
Cold chisels are made from carbon tool-steel, which is usually octagonal in cross-section.
Tool-steel is used as it can be hardened to form a hard and tough cutting edge.
To make a cold chisel heat the end of the bar of tool steel until it is bright red and hammer to the desired shape.
23.A three high rolling mill consists of three rolls placed one above the other.
Which of the following statement is correct?
A. The upper and middle rolls rotate in the same direction whereas the bottom roll rotates in opposite direction
B. The upper and bottom rolls rotate in the same direction whereas the middle roll rotates in opposite direction
C. The bottom and middle roll rotate in the same direction
D. Any one of the above
Answer: Option B
Solution:
A three high rolling mill consists of three rolls placed one above the other and the upper and bottom rolls rotate in the
same direction whereas the middle roll rotates in opposite direction
24.The maximum flame temperature occurs

A. At the outer cone
B. At the inner cone
C. Between the outer and inner cone
D. At the torch tip
Answer: Option B
Solution:
The maximum flame temperature occurs At the inner cone
25.The temperature produced by oxy-hydrogen flame is about
A. 1800°C
B. 2100°C
C. 2400°C
D. 3200°C
Answer: Option C
Solution:
The temperature produced by oxy-hydrogen flame is about 2400°C
This gaseous mixture is used for torches to process refractory materials and was the first gaseous mixture used for
welding.
