MCQs on Thin Cylinder due to Longitudinal Stress
1 - Question
The longitudinal stress is _____ stress across the section.
a) Shear
b) Bending
c) Tensile
d) Compressive
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The tendency of longitudinal stress in a cylinder is to turn away longitudinally. The longitudinal stress is tensile stress across the section.
2 - Question
The longitudinal stress in the shell is _________
a) pd/3t
b) pd/4t
c) pd/2t
d) pd/6t
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: As longitudinal stress is half the circumferential stress, then f = total pressure/ resisting section.
f = p × π/4 d2 / π d t
f = pd/4t.
3 - Question
The ratio of hoop stress to maximum shear stress is _________
a) 2
b) 3
c) 4
d) 6
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Maximum shear stress (q) = (hoop stress – longitudinal stress) / 2
= pd/8t
= pr/4t
The ratio of hoop stress to maximum shear stress is 4.
4 - Question
At any point on the circumference of the cylinder, the longitudinal and hoop stress are _______
a) Parallel
b) Equal
c) Orthogonal
d) Radial
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: At any point on the circumference of the cylindrical shell, the longitudinal (axial stress) and hoop stress(circumferential stress) are always orthogonal to each other.
5 - Question
Calculate the axial stress induced in the pipe is the water mean of 1.5 metres diameter and 20 mm thick is subjected to an internal pressure of 1.5 N/mm2.
a) 28.125 N/mm2
b) 35.675 N/mm2
c) 46.785 N/mm2
d) 67.845 N/mm2
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Longitudinal stress ( axial stress) = pd / 4t.
f= 1.5 × 1500 / 4 × 20
f= 28.125 N/mm2.
6 - Question
Saprotrophs are also known as _________
a) Detritus Feeders
b) Decomposers
c) Tertiary consumers
d) Omnivores
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Saprotrophs feed on the parts of dead organisms, wales of living organisms and partially decomposed matter. They are also known as the detritivores. Termites, crabs etc. are the examples saprotrophs.
7 - Question
Energy flows through the ecosystem in the form of __________ bonds.
a) C-C
b) N-N
c) O-O
d) F-F
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Energy flows through the ecosystem in the form of carbon-carbon bonds when respiration occurs, the carbon-carbon bonds are broken and the carbon is combined with oxygen to form carbon dioxide.
8 - Question
Energy does not recycle.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Energy is neither created nor destroyed. All energy comes from the sun, and that the ultimate fate of all energy in ecosystem is to be lost as heat. Energy does not recycle.
9 - Question
____________ is a network of food chain of different types of organisms.
a) Food web
b) Food network
c) Food system
d) Food cache
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Food web is a network of food chains where different types of organisms are connected at different trophic levels. There are the number of options of eating and being eaten at each trophic level.
10 - Question
Ecological pyramids were first devised by __________
a) Earnest Haeckel
b) Roger Federer
c) Charles Eltan
d) Smith Nell
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: An ecological pyramid is a graphic representation of an ecological parameter like a number of individuals. The ecological pyramids were first devised by British ecologist Charles Elton in 1927.
11 - Question
Which of the following is correct?
a) Phytoplankton-zooplanktons- fish
b) Zooplanktons -protozoan-fish
c) Grass- fish- zoo plankton
d) Zooplanktons- phytoplankton-fish
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: The sequence of eating and being eaten in an ecosystem is known as a food chain. Some of the common examples of the simple food chain are grass -grasshopper -frog- snake- hawk (grassland ecosystem).
Phytoplankton-zooplanktons- fish (pond ecosystem).
12 - Question
Wholesome water is also known as _________
a) Palatable water
b) Quality water
c) Lethal water
d) Toxic water
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Palatable water is the water that it is free from excessive temperature, colour, turbidity taste and odour. It is well aerated. The Wholesome water indicates palatable water.
13 - Question
Rate of demand is also known as __________
a) Domestic demand
b) Per capita demand
c) Commercial demand
d) Livestock demand
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Rate of demand is the rate of water to be supplied per person per day it is expressed as litres per capita per day.
Per capita demand (or) rate of demand = Q/P×365 litres per day.
14 - Question

a) 25 years
b) 30 years
c) 45 years
d) 50 years
View Answer
Answer:b
Explanation: Water supply projects are designed to serve our specific period of time after completion of the project. This time period is called a design period. The water works are generally designed with a design period of 30 years.
