Q:

The pressure of a fluid varies with depth h as P = PQ+pgh, where p is the fluid density. This expression is associated with

A) Pascal’s law B) Newton’s law
C) Bernoulli’s principle D) Archimedes’ principle
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Pascal’s law

Explanation:

Pascal's law is a principle in fluid mechanics that states that a pressure change occurring anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere.

This principle is stated mathematically as: P= P + rgh

Q:

Which compressor is usually used in AC?

A) Centrifugal B) Rotary
C) Reciprocating D) Axial
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Reciprocating

Explanation:

A compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. An air compressor is a specific type of gas compressor. The capacity of the air conditioning depends entirely on the capacity of the compressor. The reciprocating compressor is usually used in AC.

The reciprocating compressor have piston and cylinder arrangement like the automotive engine. The reciprocating motion of the piston due to external power compresses the refrigerant inside the cylinder.

There are three types of reciprocating compressors:

hermetically sealed,

semi-hermetically sealed and

open type.

Q:

Which of these is exhibiting kinetic energy?

A) an archer with a flexed bow B) a person sitting on a couch while watching TV
C) a space station orbiting Earth D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) a space station orbiting Earth

Explanation:

Any moving object can exhibit kinetic energy, as kinetic energy is also known as Motional energy.

In the given options, only a space station orbiting Earth is in motion and all the other are in rest position.

 

Hence, option C) a space station orbiting Earth is only exhibiting kinetic energy.
