Which element of the truss section is made to apply the method of sections in the free body diagram?

Mechanical Engineering : Engineering Mechanics - Quiz(MCQ)

Truss

Joints

The whole structure

Any section can be used

Correct Answer : Option (D) : Any section can be used

Explanation : The method of sections is used to create a free body diagram of any element of the truss section. To perform the calculations, many equilibrium equations are used. In the vertical direction, the net force is set to zero. In addition, horizontal direction forces have been set to zero.

Coefficient of restitution for perfect elastic bodies is 1.

Which of the following type of screws is used in the machines?

Round-threaded

Helical-threaded

Square-threaded

Rectangle-threaded

Correct Answer : Square-threaded

Explanation : In the machines, square threaded screws are employed. Because screws are commonly employed as fasteners. The fundamental benefit of screws is that the friction aids in the structure’s retention. Screws also aid in the fast and efficient joining of the structure.

The term 'force' may be defined as an agent which produces or tends to produce, destroys or tends to destroy motion.
