Question

What is the pitch of studs, when the diameter of studs is 6mm and the number of studs is 8?

(a) 2.35mm

(b) 1.80mm

(c) 7.00mm

(d) 4.95mm

This question was posed to me in an internship interview.

The above asked question is from IC Engine in chapter Design of IC Engine Components of Automotive Engine Design

Answer 1

The correct option is (a) 2.35mm

To explain: Pitch of stud s=\(\frac{\pi \times D_p}{Z}\)

                                               =\(\frac{\pi\times 6}{8}\)

                                               =2.35mm
