Question

Which of the following shows the correct relationship between critical buckling and force acting on the connecting rod?

(a) Critical buckling load = factor of safety ×force on connecting rod

(b) Critical buckling load = Factor of safety

(c) Critical buckling load = force on the connecting rod

(d) Critical buckling load = force on the connecting rod /factor of safety

The question was asked by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

Asked question is from Engine Components in division Basic Engine Components of Automotive Engine Design

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) Critical buckling load = factor of safety ×force on connecting rod

The explanation is: The correct relationship between the Critical buckling load and the force acting on the connecting rod is Critical buckling load = factor of safety ×force on connecting rod where critical buckling load is in terms of Newton and factor of safety is usually 5 to 6.
