Test: Torsion of Shafts - 1 - Question 1

The radius taken into consideration in calculating the stress in a hollow shaft subjected to torsion is

Test: Torsion of Shafts - 1 - Question 2

The following torsional terms is analogous to bending terms except

Detailed Solution: Question 2

Test: Torsion of Shafts - 1 - Question 3

The safe twisting moment for a compound shaft is equal to the

Detailed Solution: Question 3

If we take maximum calculated value, shear stress developed in other shaft of compound shaft would exceed the permissible design stress. This will fail the design, so minimum calculated value is taken as safe twisting moment.

Test: Torsion of Shafts - 1 - Question 4

The ratio of maximum shear stress to maximum normal stress at any point in a solid circular shaft is

Detailed Solution: Question 4


(Mohr’s circle for shaft subjected to torsion) 
Radius of circle

Test: Torsion of Shafts - 1 - Question 5

Strain energy stored in a solid circular shaft is proportional to

Detailed Solution: Question 5

Test: Torsion of Shafts - 1 - Question 6

The value of shear stress which is induced in the shaft due to the applied couple varies

Detailed Solution: Question 6


Test: Torsion of Shafts - 1 - Question 7

Shear stress induced in a shaft subjected to tension will be

Detailed Solution: Question 7

Test: Torsion of Shafts - 1 - Question 8

Two solid shafts are made of same material and have their diameters D and D/2. The ratio of strength of bigger shaft to smaller one in torsion is

Detailed Solution: Question 8

Strength means torque carrying capacity

Test: Torsion of Shafts - 1 - Question 9

Compare the strengths of solid and hollow shafts both having outside diameter D and hollow shaft having inside diameter of D/2 in torsion. The ratio of strength of solid to hollow shafts in torsion will be

Detailed Solution: Question 9
