Which of the following in power screws is the correct equation for torque if the load is lowered while designing a machine? ( W: Weight in N, θ: Angle of inclination, ϕ: Friction angle)

W tan (θ / ϕ) W tan (θ x ϕ) W tan (θ + ϕ) W tan (θ – ϕ)

In a multiple V-belt drive, when a single belt is damaged, it is preferable to change the complete set in order to

Reduce vibration Reduce slip Ensure uniform loading Ensure proper alignment

In case of V belt drive

The belt should touch the bottom of groove in the pulley The belt should not touch the bottom of groove in the pulley The belt should not touch the sides of groove in the pulley None of the above

The shear plane in case of bolts should

Be across threaded portion of shank Be parallel to axis of bolt Be normal to threaded portion of shank Never be across the threaded portion

In case of pressure vessels having open ends, the fluid pressure induces

Longitudinal stress Circumferential stress Shear stress None of these
