MCQ
61. The unit of strain is- (BADC-18)
mm
N/mm
N-mm
no unit
None
ব্যাখ্যা: Strain is defined as "deformation of a solid due to stress. Strain is a dimensionless unit since it is the ratio of two lengths. strain= change in length/original length
62. The term 'force' may be defined as an agent which produces or tends to produce, destroys or tends to destroy motion.
Agree
Disagree
63. The highest value of specific heat is found in- [PPA-19]
Alcohol
Kerosene
Methane
Water
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Among all the four given liquids that is kerosene, methane, alcohol and water only water has the highest specific heat. The value of specific heat of water is 4.18 Joules per gram.
64. Deformation per unit length in the direction of force is known as- [PPA-19]
Strain
Lateral strain
Linear strain
Stress
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Linear strain of a deformed body is defined as the ratio of the change in length of the body due to the deformation to its original length in the direction of the force.
65. The energy stored in a body when strained within elastic limit is known as- [MES-18]
resilience
strain energy
impact energy
proof resilience
66. The ultimate tensile stress for mild steel is - the ultimate compressive stress. [MES-18]
equal to
more than
less than
none of these
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: The ultimate tensile stress of mild steel is more than the ultimate compressive stress. Young modulus of a wire will be equal to stress for unit strain.
67. The unit of force in S.I. system of units is- [BB-20, BADC-18, MOD-20]
Dyne
Watt
Newton
Kilogram
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Sl unit of force: Newton SI-based unit of force: kg-m/sec^2
68. Young's modulus is the property of- [PPA-19]
Gas only
Solid only
Liquid and solid
Liquid only
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Young's modulus is a mechanical property that measures the stiffness of a solid material.
69. The poisson's ratio for steel varies from- [BREB-17; MES-18]
0.22 to 0.27
0.32 to 0.42
0.25 to 0.33
0.31 to 0.34
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Poisson's ratio values for different materiais. Material Possion's ratio Clay 0.30-0.45 Stainless steel 0.30-0.31 Steel (MS) 0.27-0.30 Castiron 0.21-0.26
70. The materials having same elastic properties in all directions are called- [PPA-19]
ideal materials
isotropic materials
elastic materials
uniform materials
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Isotropic material means a material which have same or identical properties in all direction. Such as metal and glass.
71. If two forces of 3kg and 4kg act at right angles to each other, their resultant force will be- [MOCA-19]
7kg
14kg
5kg
7kg
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যাঃ R=√P^2+Q^2+2PQCOSO =√9+16+2x3 x4 x cox 90° = √2 = 5kg
72. A material capable of absorbing large amount of energy before fracture is known as- উত্তর (PPA-19)
ductility
shock proof
toughness
resilience
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: The ability of a metal to deform plastically and to absorb energy in the process before fracture is termed toughness.
73. The relation between Young's modulus (E) and Bulk modulus (K) is given by- [MES-18]
K=3m-2 /mE
K= mE/3(m-2)
K=3(m-2)/mE
K= mE / 3(m-2)
74. If a material expands freely due to heating it will develop- [PPA-19]
thermal stresses
no stresses
tensile stress
bending
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা it, it will expand. Since it is unconstrained it expands freely and no stresses occur. That is the thermal strain is equal to the total strain. Thus, the mechanical strain is zero and thus the "thermal stress" is zero.

kg/m²
kg.m² s
m^4
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Moment of intertia, Ad^2= (mxm)x m^2= m^4

10
14
41
28
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Given, F₁ =6kg. F₂=,8 kg. 0=90° Resultant force, R = √F₁^2+,F₂^2 + 2F₁F₂ cos0 √6^2+8^2+2x6x8 xcos90° = 10 kg.
