MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A flanged bolt coupling is used to connect a solid shaft 90 mm in diameter to a hollow shaft
100 mm in outside diameter and 90 mm in inside diameter. If the allowable shearing stress
in the shaft and the bolts is 60 MN/m 2, how many 10-mm diameter steel bolts must be used
on a 200-mm diameter bolt circle so that the coupling will be as strong as the weaker shaft?
A. 10 bolts C. 9 bolts
B. 7 bolts D. 8 bolts
2. A flanged bolt coupling consists of eight steel 20-mm diameter bolts spread evenly around a
bolt circle 300 mm in diameter. Determine the torque capacity of the coupling if the
allowable shearing stress in the bolts is 40 MN/m2.
A. 5.75 MN-mm C. 15.08 kN-m
B. 55 N-cm D. 83 GN-inch
3. At a height of 10,000 m above sea level, atmospheric pressure is about 210 mm of Hg.

when the hydrostatic condition and a pressure inside the plane of 760 mm of Hg and
density of mercury is 13,600 kg/m3?
A. 5.7 kN C. 4.4 kN
B. 3.4 KN D. 2.6 kN
4. A horizontal pipe has a diameter of 2 mm water flows at 2 m/sec and at the constriction of
4 m/sec. What is the diameter of the constriction?

B. Conservation of angular momentum D. Continuity equation
8. A tank contains 3 cubic feet of 120 psig air at 80°F. How many tires of volume 1.2 ft 3 can be
inflated to 28 psig at 80°F?
