A cold rolled steel cup with an inside radius of 30 mm and a thickness of 3 mm is to be drawn from a blank of diameter 40 mm. The shear yield stress and the maximum allowable stress of the material can be taken as 210 N/mm2 and 600 N/mm2 respectively.

SOL 1.54
Correct option is (C) We first calculate the blank holding force Fh from the given data as Fh = 0.05 # 402 # 210 N = 52, 778 N Next, we find the value of r at r = rd by using Eq. (26.18).

From Equation, the drawing force is found to be s F = 2 # 30 # 110.9 N = 62, 680 N In this case, z = 600 N/mm2 From Eq. r = r = 600 N/mm2 = 512.8 N/mm2 d r e0.05 What will be the minimum possible radius of the cup which can be drawn from the given blank without causing a fracture ?

What is the smallest integer k for which 64k > 414 ? (A) 3 (B) 5 (C) 6 (D) 7
SOL 1.61
Correct option is (B). If we dont want to do a lot of calculations, were going to have to manipulate the exponents. The first step is to put the 64 and the 4 in the same terms, so lets make the 64 = 43 instead. Now the question is looking for the smallest integer k for which 43k > 414 , which is the same as finding the smallest integer k for which 3k > 14 . The best answer is 5. The angles of a polygon are in arithmetic progression. If the smallest angle is 120c and the common difference is 10c, then how many sides does the polygon have ? (A) 5 (B) 6 (C) 8 (D) Either (B) or (C)
MCQ 1.62

Correct option is (B). Smallest angle = 1200 , common difference = 10c. Maximum angle = 170c (a 180c is a straight line). A certain clock rings two notes at quarter past the hour, four notes at half past, and six notes at three-quarters past. On the hour, it rings eight notes plus an additional number of notes equal to whatever hour it is. How many notes will the clock ring between 2 : 00 P.M. and 5 : 00 P.M., including the rings at 2 : 00 and 5 : 00 ? (A) 72 (B) 78 (C) 96 (D) 102
MCQ 1.63
SOL 1.63
Correct option is (B). We know that the problem involves only simple arithmetic, because the rings occur in an hourly pattern. You could set up a chart if that helps you see whats going on, or just take each part at a time by finding the number of rings at each interval of time and then adding up the total rings at each interval. The total rings on the hour = ^1 + 8h + ^2 + 8h + ^3 + 8h + ^4 + 8h = 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 = 42 . The clock rings twice at a quarter past and it does this 3 times, so the total rings at a quarter past = 2 ]3g = 6 . Likewise, the number of rings at half past = 4 ]3g = 12 and the number of rings at threequarters past = 6 ]3g = 18 . Adding up, 42 + 6 + 12 + 18 = 78

In an increasing sequence of 10 consecutive integers, the sum of the first 5 integers is 660. What is the sum of the last 5 integers in the sequence ? (A) 578 (B) 624 (C) 665 (D) 685
SOL 1.64
Correct option is (D). Let the first 5 consecutive integers be represented by x , x + 1 , x + 2 , x + 3 and x + 4.Then, since the sum of the integers is 660 , x + ^x + 1h + ^x + 2h + ^x + 3h + ^x + 4h = 660 . Thus, 5x + 10 = 660 solve for x 5x = 650 x = 130 The first integer in the sequence is 130, so the next integers are 131, 132, 133 and 134. From this, the last 5 integers in the sequence, and thus their sum, can be determined. The sum of the 6 th , 7 th , 8 th , 9 th and 10 th integers is, 135 + 136 + 137 + 138 + 139 = 685 This problem can also be solved without algebra: The sum of the last 5 integers exceeds the sum of the first 5 integers by 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 = 25 because the 6 th
