MCQs on Eccentric Load on Circular Base
1 - Question
A flange of radius 200mm is fastened to the machine screw by means of four cap screws of pitch circle radius 150mm. The external force P is 20kN which is loaded at 160mm from the machine screw. There are two dowel pins to take shear load. Determine the maximum effective tensile force acting on the bolt. The four bolts are equally spaced radially.
a) 4777.6N
b) 5777.6N
c) 6777.6N
d) 7777.7N
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Maximum force F=2Pl[a+bCos(90/2)] / 4(2a²+b²).
2 - Question
A flange of radius 200mm is fastened to the machine screw by means of four cap screws of pitch circle radius 150mm. The external force P is 20kN which is loaded at 160mm from the machine screw. There are two dowel pins to take shear load. Determine the core diameter of cap screw if permissible tensile stress in cap screw is 40N/mm².
a) None of the listed
b) 11.21mm
c) 12.33mm
d) 14.12mm
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Maximum tensile force=4777.6N or πd² x σ/4=4777.6N.
Answer the questions 3-5 with respect to this figure
A round flange bearing is fastened to the machine frame by means of 4 cap screws. The angle made by central axis of bolt 2 and horizontal is θ. Also the radii of flange and pitch circle are a & b respectively. Given: Sum of squares of distance of bolts from axis of tilt is 2a² +b²
3 - Question
Are all the four bolts under equal effective tensile load?
a) Yes
b) No
c) Depends on magnitude of load
d) Cannot be stated
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: All the bolts are at different distance from the axis of tilt and hence unequally loaded.
4 - Question
Determine the angle θ so that the force in the bolt 1 has maximum value.
a) 180’
b) 90’
c) 0’
d) 45’
View Answer
Answer:a
Explanation:F₁=2Plx(a-b Cos θ)/4(2a²+b²), hence for force to be max Cosθ=-1 or θ=180’.
5 - Question
Which bolt is under maximum stress if dowel pins are used to relieve cap screws from shear stress?
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The screw farthest from the axis of tilt is under maximum stress.
6 - Question
Which of the following statements are true about eccentrically loaded circular base?
a) All bolts are symmetrically spaced with equal angle on either side of vertical
b) Bolts are not preloaded
c) Bearing is rigid
d) Dowel pins are used to relieve stresses
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Bolts are symmetrically placed only in a special case.
7 - Question
Certain types of radial bearings can also take thrust load.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Sometimes radial bearings can take thrust load and vice versa.
8 - Question
