- If f'(x) = ex and f(0) = 5, then from Mean Value Theorem, the value of f(1) lies between
- The inverse Laplace Transform of s2/(s - 3)3 can be written as e3t/2[At2 + Bt + C]. The values of A, B and C, respectively are
- A two wheel drive tractor, weighing 15.84 kN with a wheel base of 2160 mm, has the static weight divided between the front and rear axles in the ratio of 30 : 70 on a horizontal level surface. The hitch point is at a height of 700 mm from the ground and at a horizontal distance of 120 mm to the rear side from the center of the rear axle. Pull acts at an angle of 12° downwards from the horizontal. The maximum pull in kN, when the front wheels would just start rising from the ground is
- A horizontal axis drag type wind mill with square blades and a horizontal axis lift type wind mill with airfoil section blades having same rotor size are installed at a height of 10 m above the ground. The average wind speed is 25 kmA horizontal axis drag type wind mill with square blades and a horizontal axis lift type wind mill with airfoil section blades having same rotor size are installed at a height of 10 m above the ground. The average wind speed is 25 km h-1. The maximum power coefficient for drag type and lift type wind mills is 0.148 and 0.593, respectively. If the maximum power extracted by drag type wind mill is 5 kW, the corresponding power extracted by lift type wind mill, in kW is
- The thresher of a wheat combine harvester has an optimal throughput capacity of 2400 kg (crop) per hour. The harvester has a forward velocity of 4.5 km h-1. Sample tests have revealed that the yield of crop in the field is 3000 kg (grain) per ha. Grain to straw ratio is 60 : 40. If the above throughput is to be maintained, the width of cut of the harvester in m, neglecting turning losses, is
- In a disc clutch, the inside and outside radii of the clutch plate are 50 and 100 mm, respectively. If the axial force exerted on the disc is 4 kN, the maximum pressure experienced by the clutch plate in N mm-2 under uniform wear conditions is
- A regime channel carrying a discharge of 25 m3 s-1 is designed using Lacey's regime theory. The side slope of the channel is ½ H : 1 V, and Lacey's silt factor is unity. The bottom width and depth of flow in the channel, in m, respectively are
-
Flow is taking place through a layered soil system, having two homogeneous soils M and N, as shown in the figure. The head lost in soil N is 20 times the head lost in soil M. If the permeability of soil M is 3 * 10-4 mm s-1, the permeability of soil N, in mm s-1, will be
- A trapezoidal canal, having a bottom width of 5.0 m and a side slope of 1 H : 1 V, is carrying a discharge of 20 m3 s-1. The critical depth, in m, is
