MCQs on Belt Drives
1 - Question
Belt, chain and rope are called rigid drives.
a) True
b) Belt is a flexible drive only
c) All three are flexible drives
d) None of the listed
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: They all are flexible drive examples.
2 - Question
In flexible drives, rotary motion of driving shaft is directly converted to rotary motion of driven shafts
a) Yes
b) No, translator motion is involved
c) No, Cylindrical motion is involved
d) No, Parabolic motion is involved
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: It is first converted into translator and then into rotary.
3 - Question
Flexible drive can absorb shock loads and damp vibrations.
a) True
b) No
c) Depends on the load applied
d) Doesn’t damp vibrations
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Intermediate link is long and flexible.
4 - Question
Velocity ratio in both flexible and rigid drive is constant.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: In flexible drive, velocity ratio is not constant.
5 - Question
Is there any worry for overloading conditions in flexible belt drives?
a) Yes
b) No
c) Only after a particular threshold limit
d) Depends on external factrors
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: In case of overloading, belt slips over the pulley and hence protect it from the overload.
6 - Question
V belts have v shaped cross section.
a) No, rectangular
b) No, trapezium
c) No, circular
d) No, spherical
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: They have trapezoidal cross section.
7 - Question
The force of friction between belt and V grooved pulley is high.
a) Yes, supported by wedge action
b) No
c) There is no wedge action involved
d) None of the listed
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Due to wedge action, force of friction is high.
8 - Question
V belts result in smooth and quite operation even at high speeds.
a) Yes
b) No they are very noisy
c) They are not endless and hence not smooth motion
d) None of the listed
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: V belts are endless.
9 - Question

a) <35% b) >35%
c) =35%
d) Cant be determined
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: The efficiency of flat belt drive is more that V belt drive.
10 - Question
There is problem of bending stress in the V belt drive.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: The ratio of cross sectional height to pulley diameter is high.
