Time Allowed: 3 hours Total Marks:    70, Passing Marks (35) Q1. Fill in the blanks: 1. 1 MPa = ____ N/m2 = ____ N/mm2. 2. A localized compressive stress at the surface of contact between two members of a machine part, that are relatively at rest is known as _______________. 3. Factor of safety = _________________. 4. The ratio of the change in volume to the original volume is known as ______________. 5. Sometimes, the frictional grip between the belts and the pulleys becomes insufficient. This may cause some forward motion of the driver without carrying the belt with it. This is called ________________. 6. The difference between the maximum and minimum fly-wheel speeds during a cycle is called the _____________. 7.
