Assignment 03: Detailed Solution
Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati

1. Which of the following is NOT considered as a parameter for a component to be selected


for its use in the product/system development?

A. Cost

B. Reliability

C. Environmental factors

D. Easy availability

Solution: The correct answer is D. Easy availability. When selecting components for
product/system development, factors like cost, reliability, and environmental
considerations are typically important. However, the availability of a component doesn't
directly influence its suitability for use.

2. During product development or automatic system development, generally, a


part/component of the system is preferable to provide _______.

A. low-risk and low life

B. low-risk and high life

C. high-risk and high life

D. high-risk and low life

Solution: The correct answer is B. low-risk and high-life. In product/system development,


it is generally preferable to use components that have low risk (reliable, less likely to fail)
and high life (long operational lifespan).

3. During the selection of a component for the construction of a product, the factor related to
"easy mounting in the assembly" falls under ___________ category.

A. mechanical

B. electrical
C. environmental

D. thermal

Solution: The correct answer is A. mechanical. The ease of mounting a component in the
assembly is related to the mechanical aspects of the product design, as it involves the
physical interaction and arrangement of components.

4. In the context of product design and development, the conditions related to “thermal
stresses and extreme vibrations” are considered to be:

A. mechanical factors

B. environmental factors

C. electrical factors

D. thermal factors

Solution: The correct answer is B. environmental factors. Thermal stresses and extreme
vibrations are external conditions that products or systems may experience due to their
operating environment, making them environmental factors.

5. In sensors, the difference between the maximum value of field variable to its minimum
value is called _______.

A. range

B. span

C. error

D. accuracy

Solution: The correct answer is B. span. The span of a sensor refers to the range between
its maximum and minimum values, indicating the total measurement range of the sensor.

6. The ratio of the change in the output value of a sensor to the per unit change in the input
value, causing the output change, is known as _______.

A. sensitivity

B. reproducibility

C. accuracy

D. non-linearity
Solution: The correct answer is A. sensitivity. Sensitivity of a sensor indicates how much
its output changes in response to a change in the input variable.

7. The engineering science domain that deals with the study of the deformation and motion
of materials under the action of forces is called _______.

A. solid mechanics

B. continuum mechanics

C. kinetics

D. kinematics

Solution: The correct answer is A. solid mechanics. Solid mechanics focuses on the
behavior of materials under the influence of forces, including deformation, stress, and
strain.

8. The process applied for manufacturing railway tracks and screw threads is _______.

A. Rolling

B. Drawing

C. Extrusion

D. Welding

Solution: The correct answer is A. Rolling. The process of rolling is commonly used to
manufacture products like railway tracks and screw threads by passing the material
between rollers to shape it.

9. Solid-state welding processes are examples of _______ processes.

A. Heterogeneous

B. Autogenous

C. Morphogeneous

D. Soldering

Solution: The correct answer is B. Autogenous. Solid-state welding processes involve


joining materials without the use of additional filler materials, making them autogenous
processes.
10. Additive manufacturing CANNOT be used for _______.

A. Generative manufacturing

B. Solidification/Bonding

C. Prototyping

D. Surface finishing

Solution: The correct answer is D. Surface finishing. Additive manufacturing (3D printing)
is not typically used for surface finishing processes; it's more focused on creating complex
3D geometries, prototypes, and even production parts directly from digital designs. Surface
finishing usually involves post-processing steps beyond additive manufacturing.
