A Correct answer
Explanation

To solve this question, the user needs to know about the basic terminologies and operations of a lathe machine.

The feed rate in a lathe machine refers to the distance that a cutting tool advances into the workpiece with each revolution of the lathe spindle. It is typically expressed in millimeters per revolution (mm/rev).

Option A is correct because feed rate is generally given in millimeters per revolution (mm/rev). This means that for every complete revolution of the lathe spindle, the cutting tool advances a certain distance along the workpiece.

Option B is incorrect because the feed rate is not typically given in millimeters per degree. Degrees are used to measure angles, not distances.

Option C is incorrect because simply giving the distance in millimeters does not take into account the number of revolutions of the lathe spindle that are required to move the cutting tool that distance.

Option D is incorrect because RPM (revolutions per minute) is a measurement of the speed of the lathe spindle, not the feed rate.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

The Answer is: A. mm per revolution

Multiple choice general knowledge science & technology
  1. 50 watts per hour

  2. 100 watts per hour

  3. 150 watts per hour

  4. 200 watts per hour

A Correct answer
Explanation

Human-powered electricity generation from exercise typically averages around 50 watts per hour for a fit adult. This is based on empirical measurements from gym-based power generation systems, though output varies significantly with individual fitness and effort.

D Correct answer
Explanation

'100 % performance everytime' is Servo's tagline, emphasizing their lubricant/oil products' consistent quality. Power, Mak, and Castrol are also lubricant/automotive oil brands, but this specific performance guarantee belongs to Servo, an Indian oil brand.

  1. 70-100

  2. 25-50

  3. 500-800

  4. Over 1000

A Correct answer
Explanation

A 20-25 inch CRT color television typically consumes 70-100 watts. This is consistent with the power requirements of CRT technology from that era. Modern LED/LCD TVs of similar screen size consume much less power (25-50 watts range), while 500-800 watts or over 1000 watts would be excessive for a consumer television of this size.

Multiple choice
  1. 44.2 W

  2. 50 W

  3. 62.5 W

  4. 125 W

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Average power = (I_rms)² × R, where I_rms = I_peak/√2. For current 5cos(100t+100), I_rms = 5/√2 A. The impedance is Z = 4-j3 Ω, so |Z| = √(4²+3²) = 5 Ω. Only the real part (resistance) dissipates power. Equivalent resistance R_eq = 4 Ω. P_avg = (5/√2)² × 4 = 25/2 × 4 = 50 W.

Multiple choice
  1. 746 Kilowatt

  2. 746 Watt

  3. 746 KWH

  4. 647 Watt

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

1 Horse Power (HP) = 746 Watts (approximately 0.746 KW). This is the standard conversion factor for mechanical horsepower. Horsepower is a unit of power, not energy - so KWH (which is energy) is incorrect.

Multiple choice
  1. 550 watts

  2. 746 watts

  3. 3300 watts

  4. 33000 watts

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

One horsepower (HP) is equivalent to approximately 746 watts (specifically 745.7 W). This conversion factor was established by James Watt and relates to the power needed to lift 550 pounds by one foot in one second. The other options (550W, 3300W, 33000W) are incorrect.
