Q1. Different units of pressure
Ans. 
Units of pressure include pascal, bar, atmosphere, and psi.
• Pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure

• Bar is commonly used in meteorology and scuba diving

• Atmosphere (atm) is the average pressure at sea level on Earth

• Pounds per square inch (psi) is used in engineering and automotive industries

Q2. Failure stress for spring
Ans. 
Failure stress for spring is the maximum stress a spring can withstand before permanent deformation or breakage.
• Failure stress is determined by the material properties of the spring.

• Factors affecting failure stress include material type, manufacturing process, and design considerations.

• Examples of failure stress for springs include tensile strength, yield strength, and ultimate strength.

Q3. Sub-type or specific failure stress for springs
Ans. 
Sub-type or specific failure stress for springs can include yield stress, ultimate tensile stress, fatigue stress, etc.
• Different types of springs may have different failure stresses

• Yield stress is the point at which a material begins to deform plastically

• Ultimate tensile stress is the maximum stress a material can withstand before failure

• Fatigue stress is the stress level at which a material fails after repeated loadin

Q4. Synchronous speed defination and formula
Ans. 
Synchronous speed is the speed at which the magnetic field rotates in a synchronous motor.
• Synchronous speed is determined by the frequency of the power supply and the number of poles in the motor.

• Formula for synchronous speed: Ns = 120f / P, where Ns is synchronous speed in RPM, f is frequency in Hz, and P is number of poles.

• For example, a 4-pole motor connected to a 60 Hz power supply would have a synchronous speed of

Q5. Types of stresses and examples of each
Ans. 
Types of stresses include tensile, compressive, shear, bending, and torsional.
• Tensile stress: pulling force that stretches material apart (e.g. stretching a rubber band)

• Compressive stress: pushing force that squeezes material together (e.g. pressing on a spring)

• Shear stress: force that causes layers of material to slide past each other (e.g. cutting paper with scissors)

• Bending stress: combination of tensile and compres...read more

Q6. Difference between stress and pressure
Ans. 
Stress is internal resistance to deformation, while pressure is force applied over an area.
• Stress is a measure of the internal resistance of a material to deformation under an applied force.

• Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area.

• Stress is a tensor quantity, while pressure is a scalar quantity.

• Examples: A rubber band under tension experiences stress, while a balloon filled
