Calculate the velocity ratio of a screw jack of pitch 0.2cm if the length of the tommy bar is 23cm

A.

230\(\pi\)

B.

23\(\pi\)

C.

70\(\pi\)

D.

140\(\pi\)

Correct answer is A

P = 0.2cm, L = r = 23cm

VR = 2πr
P
= 2πL
P
= 2π×23
0.2
= 230π

247.

Which of the following statement about the electromagnet shown above is correct?

A.

when the current flows from A to B, the end A will be in north pole

B.

when the current flows from A to B, the end A will be south pole

C.

when the current flows from A to B, the end B will be south pole

D.

none of the above

Correct answer is B

A - B = S - N.
Also, starting end of the current is south while terminating end is North.
