Difficulty: Easy

Counter shaft
Line shaft
Overhead shaft
All of these

Correct Answer: All of these

Explanation:

Concept
Transmission shafts carry power between sources and machines. Examples include counter shafts (gearboxes), line shafts (shop power distribution), and overhead shafts (older factory layouts). All are within the definition.

Final Answer
All of these

Bolts of uniform strength: verify the method involving drilling through the head. Statement: To obtain a bolt of uniform strength, an axial hole is drilled through the head down to near the threaded portion so that the shank’s net area equals the thread root area (making stress uniform). Choose the correct option (True/False).
Failure theories: identify Guest’s (maximum shear stress) theory statement. Statement: Failure occurs when the maximum shear stress in a biaxial stress state reaches the shear stress at the elastic limit in a simple tension test. Choose the correct option (True/False).
Boiler shell joints: purpose of circumferential joints. Statement: In boilers, circumferential joints are used to obtain the required length of a boiler by joining shell rings end-to-end. Choose the correct option (True/False).
Gears: factor governing surface endurance (pitting) strength. Identify the material property that most directly influences the surface endurance limit in contact (Hertzian) stress for gears. Choose the correct option.
Screw jack design: purpose of a separate load cup on the spindle head. Select the main functional reason for making the load cup a separate piece from the spindle head in a screw jack. Choose the correct option.
Classification of shafts in machine design A crankshaft used in engines is to be classified by type (e.g., transmission shaft, line shaft, machine shaft). Choose the most appropriate classification.
V-belt vs. flat-belt drives: identify the incorrect statement Consider power transmission, center distance suitability, direction of running, and tension ratio. Select the statement that is wrong.
Ball bearings: purpose of the cage (retainer) Identify the primary function served by the cage in a ball bearing. Choose the correct option.
Involute gears: centre distance of a meshing pair State the relationship that gives the centre distance between two meshing involute gears. Choose the correct expression.
