Pass Ratio : 100%
Mass and Moment of inertia are equivalent quantities.
True
False
Explanation:
Differential equation of torque is given as T=j(dθ2(t)) / (dt2) and differential equation corresponding to force is given as F = M(dx2(t))/(dt2). Equating these two expressions we obtain mass ‘M’ and moment of inertia ‘j’ are equivalent quantities.

Spring is a ___________ order system.
Zero
First
Second
Third
Explanation:
From transfer function of spring, it is clear that spring is a zero order system. Transfer function (F(s))/(G(s))=K.

20N force is acting on a 5Kg body. What will be its rate of change of velocity?
4m/s2
5m/s2
10m/s2
2m/s2
Explanation:
Rate of change of velocity is acceleration and force can be described as product of mass and acceleration.
Question 4

Pass Ratio : 100%
Name the Friction which acts till the body starts moving?
Dynamic friction
Static friction
Viscous friction
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
Static friction is a constant value and is the minimum force required to start motion of a body.
Question 5
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Transfer function of force acting on a body is given as 1/(s2 M). What will be the transfer function of a rotating body?
1/(s2 j)
1/j
1/sM
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
Mass M and Moment of inertia j are equivalent, thus transfer function of rotational motion can be obtained by replacing M with j.

Linear and torsional springs are used to provide ________________ and __________________
Restoring force and torque respectively
Restoring torque and force respectively
Restoring torque only
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
Linear springs are used to provide restoring force and torsional springs are used to provide restoring torque respectively.
Question 7

Restoring force of a spring under stress is F(s) = ____________
X(s)
KX(s)
K
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
Restoring force of a spring under stress is given by KX(s), where K is the stiffness of spring and X(s) is the displacement made.
Question 8

What is the equivalent quantity of capacitance in the transfer function of the viscous force?
Viscous force
Viscosity
Damping coefficient
Inertia
Explanation:
Transfer function of the viscous force is given as 1/sB, and the transfer function of the capacitor is given as 1/sC. On equating B and C becomes equivalent quantities.
Question 9
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
What will you call the friction between a relative motion of two bodies?
Static friction
Dynamic friction
Viscous friction
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
Viscous friction acts when there is a relative motion between two bodies. It always acts opposite to direction of velocity.
Question 10
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
What will be the transfer function of a body of mass M, in which input quantity is force and output quantity is displacement?
sM
s2M
1/sM
1/( s2 M)
Explanation:
Force can be described as the product of mass and acceleration, or in terms of displacement F = M(dx2 (t)) / (dt2). Converting to Laplace domain and finding transfer function we obtain the answer.
