Correct Answer : Option (C) : Beam
Explanation : According to Lewis equation, Beam strength=product of module, face width of elemental section, permissible bending stress and Lewis form factor.
Correct Answer : Drums with helical grooves
Explanation : They have more bearing surface of the drum and prevent friction between adjacent turns of the rope.
Correct Answer : Increasingly centrifugal force in large sheaves
Explanation : Larger sheaves have higher centrifugal forces and higher cost because more material is used in their construction.
Correct Answer : Both bending and tensile stress
Explanation : There is direct tensile stress due to load being raised as well as bending stress.
