Answers

1. (c)

2. (c) Ergonomics can roughly be defined as the study of people in their working environment. More specifically, an ergonomist designs or modifies the work to fit the worker, not the other way around. The goal is to eliminate discomfort and risk of injury due to work.

3. (b)

4. (a) The Safety Committee shall consist of
  • the manager who shall be the Chairman;
  • five officials or competent persons of the mine nominated by the Chairman;
  • five workmen 
  • Workmen’s Inspector 
  • the Safety Officer
5. (a) reportable injury” means any injury other than a serious bodily injury which involves or in all probability will involve, the enforced absence of the injured person from work for a period of seventy-two hours or more;

6. (a) The assumptions of Taylorism are that workers are unintelligent and uneducated and that they must be trained and given instructions to carry out their duties.
Scientific management can be summarized in four main principles: Using scientific methods to determine and standardize the one best way of doing a job. A clear division of tasks and responsibilities. High pay for high-performing employees.

7. (c) Henri Fayol identified five functions of management, which he labelled: planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating and controlling.

8. (c)

9. (d)

10. (c)

Mechanics of Fluids (Solved Numerical Problems)

Numerical The surface Tension of water in contact with air at 20°C is 0.0725 N/m. The pressure inside a droplet of water is to be 0.02 N/cm² greater than the outside pressure. Calculate the diameter of the droplet of water. (7 marks) (AMIE Summer 2023) Solution Surface tension, σ = 0.0725 N/m Pressure intensity, P = 0.02 N/m 2 P = 4σ/d Hence, the Diameter of the dropd = 4 x 0.0725/200 = 1.45 mm Numerical Find the surface tension in a soap bubble of 40 mm diameter when the inside pressure is 2.5 N/m² above atmospheric pressure. (7 marks) (AMIE Summer 2023) Answer: 0.0125 N/m Numerical The pressure outside the droplet of water of diameter 0.04 mm is 10.32 N/cm² (atmospheric pressure). Calculate the pressure within the droplet if surface tension is given as 0.0725 N/m of water. (AMIE Summer 2023, 7 marks) Answer: 0.725 N/cm 2   Numerical An open lank contains water up to a depth of 2 m and above it an oil of specific gravity 0.9 for a depth of 1 m. Find the pressure intensity (i) at t...

Energy Systems (Solved Numerical Problems)

Wind at 1 standard atmospheric pressure and \({15^0}C\) has velocity of 15 m/s, calculate (i) the total power density in the wind stream (ii) the maximum obtainable power density (iii) a reasonably obtainable power density (iv) total power (v) torque and axial thrust Given: turbine diameter = 120 m, and turbine operating speed = 40 rpm at maximum efficiency. Propeller type wind turbine is considered. (AMIE Winter 2023) Solution For air, the value of gas constant is R = 0.287 kJ/kg.K 1 atm = 1.01325 x 105 Pa Air density \(\rho  = \frac{P}{{RT}} = \frac{{1.01325x{{10}^5}}}{{287}}(288) = 1.226\,kg/{m^3}\) Total Power \({P_{total}} = \rho A{V_1}^3/2\) Power density \(\begin{array}{l}\frac{{{P_{total}}}}{A} = \frac{1}{2}\rho {V_1}^3\\ = \frac{1}{2}(1.226){(15)^3}\\ = 2068.87{\mkern 1mu} W/{m^2}\end{array}\) Maximum power density \(\begin{array}{l}\frac{{{P_{\max }}}}{A} = \frac{8}{{27}}\rho A{V^3}_1\\ = \frac{8}{{27}}(1.226){(15)^3}\\ = 1226{\mkern 1mu} W/{m^2}\end{array}\) Assuming eff...

Design of Electrical Systems (Solved Numerical Problems)

Important note There is something wrong with this question paper. It seems that instead of "Design of Electrical Systems" the IEI has given problems from "Electrical Machines". You should raise a complaint to director_eea@ieindia.org in this regard. Numerical A 120 V DC shunt motor draws a current of 200A. The armature resistance is 0.02 ohms and the shunt field resistance is 30 ohms. Find back emf. If the lap wound armature has 90 slots with 4 conductors per slots, at what speed will the motor run when flux per pole is 0.04 Wb?​ (AMIE Summer 2023, 8 marks) Solution The back EMF (E b ) of a DC motor can be calculated using the formula: E b = V - I a R a   Given: V = 120 V I a = 200 A R a = 0.02 ohms Substituting the values into the formula: E b = 120 − 200 × 0.02 = 120 − 4​ = 116 V Now, let's calculate the speed (N) at which the motor will run using the given flux per pole (φ p ). The formula to calculate the speed of a DC motor is: N = 60×E b /(P×φ p ) Wh...
