3 - Question
When a point moves along a straight line, its acceleration will have
a) radial component only
b) tangential component only
c) coriolis component only
d) radial and tangential components both
View Answer
Explanation: The tangential component, is parallel to the velocity of the particle at the given instant. The centripetal or radial component, is perpendicular to the velocity of the particle at the given instant.
4 - Question

a) radial component only
b) tangential component only
c) coriolis component only
d) radial and tangential components both
View Answer
Explanation: The centripetal or radial component, is perpendicular to the velocity of the particle at the given instant. The tangential component, is parallel to the velocity of the particle at the given instant.
5 - Question
In a shaper mechanism, the coriolis component of acceleration does not exists.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: In a shaper mechanism, the coriolis component of acceleration exists.
6 - Question
The tangential component of acceleration of the slider with respect to the coincident point on the link is called coriolis component of acceleration.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: When a point on one link is sliding along another rotating link, such as in quick return motion mechanism, then the coriolis component of the acceleration must be calculated.
7 - Question

a) along the sliding surface
b) perpendicular to the sliding surface
c) at 450 to the sliding surface
d) parallel to the sliding surface
View Answer
Explanation: None

a) slider crank mechanism
b) four bar chain mechanism
c) quick return motion mechanism
d) all of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: When a point on one link is sliding along another rotating link, such as in quick return motion mechanism, then the coriolis component of the acceleration must be calculated.
9 - Question
The coriolis component of acceleration depends upon
a) velocity of slider
b) angular velocity of the link
c) all of the mentioned
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: None
10 - Question
A body in motion will be subjected to coriolis acceleration when that body is
a) in plane rotation with variable velocity
b) in plane translation with variable velocity
c) in plane motion which is a resultant of plane translation and rotation
d) restrained to rotate while sliding over another body
View Answer
Explanation: When a point on one link is sliding along another rotating link, such as in quick return motion mechanism, then the coriolis component of the acceleration must be calculated. 11. A slider m
11 - Question
A slider moves at a velocity v on a link revolving at ωrad/s. The coriolis component of acceleration is
a) ωv
b) 2ωv
c) ω2v
d) 2ωv2
View Answer
Explanation: None
12 - Question
The coriolis component of acceleration leads the sliding velocity by
a) 450
b) 900
c) 1350
d) 1800
View Answer
Explanation: The direction of coriolis component of acceleration is obtained by rotating v, at 90°, about its origin in the same direction as that of ω.

b) 450 in the direction opposite to the rotation of the link containing the path
c) 900 in the direction of rotation of the link containing the path
d) 1800 in the direction opposite to the rotation of the link containing the path
View Answer
Explanation: The direction of coriolis component of acceleration is obtained by rotating v, at 90°, about its origin in the same direction as that of ω.
