Correct Answer : Option (D) : 15mm
Explanation : z=4W/π S(d₲-dâ‚‚²) where S=15N/mm²,dâ‚=22mm and dâ‚‚=17mm. Hencez=2.2 or z=3. Length of nut=zp or l=3 x 5= 15mm.
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.
