5 What are the basic elements in mechanical instruments :

1) detecting elements and measuring elements 2) measuring and coupling elements
3) coupling and indicating elements *4) 1) & 3) are correct

1.6 Coupling element couples

1) detecting & measuring elements 2) detecting & indicating elements
*3) measuring and indicating elements 4) coupling and indicating dements

1.7 When bourdon tube pressure gauge is over reading then which adjustment is suitable
1) decrease lever length *2) increase lever length
3) decrease lever angle 4) increase lever angle

1.8 In rod type coupling element, input and output relation depends upon
1) lever length 2) lever angle
*3) trigonometrically rotation 4) lever length and angle

1.9 Outer end of coil hair spring is anchored in place of permanently fixing is to facilitate
*1) torque adjustment of spring and initial setting of the indicating element
2) ensure pointer is back to zero when deflecting torque is removed
3) 1) and 2) are correct
4) controlling torque

1.10 Thermostat is used in series with electrical measuring instruments to prevent error due to :
*1) temperature variation 2) pressure variation
3) density variation 4) humidity variation

1.11 Pressure operated instruments are sealed when it is used in pressurized a/c to prevent error due to
cabin
1) temperature control *2) pressurization
3) density control 4) humidity control

1.12 In an instrument mechanism decrease in lever length produces:

*1) increased output movement 2) decreased output movement
3) no change in output movement 4) unnecessary strain on the detecting element

1.13 In a sine mechanism, the point of contact between two rods remains at :
1) constant distance from the centre of the rocking shaft
*2) constant radius from the centre of the rocking shaft
3) constant angle from the centre of the rocking shaft
4) none of the above

1.14 The hair spring is used in instruments to :

1) take up the backlash
2) Serve as controlling device against deflecting force
3) to restore the moving element to their original
*4) all the above position when deflecting forces are removed

1.15 Mandatory a/c instruments are :

1) those instruments without which the a/c can be approved for civil flying under certain condition
2) those instruments without which the a/c can be approved for flying by making proper entry in logbook
*3) those instruments without which the a/c cannot be approved for civil flying
4) all the above are correct
