This constitutes 15% of the total marks of the paper. Problems on finding rank of
matrix, type of solution (unique, infinitely many etc.), simple integration
(using Trapezoidal, Simpsons 1/3rd rule etc.), Simple formula based Laplace
Transforms, simple probability distributions (normal, poisons, binomial
distribution , uniform distribution ), directional derivatives, divergence, curl,
simple dice problems, limits, simple PDE are all common.
(2) MECHANICS, SOM
This constitutes 10-15 marks of your paper. You can find simple FBD problems (just
1) for finding force, conservation of momentum, block and slope type (average
stress and maximum stress for different sections like rectangle ,triangle etc.),
Macaulays theorem (slope & deflection), one question on thin pressure
vessels, problems on various theories of failure , torques, and bending
moment calculation, truss.
(3) DESIGN OF M/C ELEMENTS, TOM
This chapter makes up a huge chunk of your marks 15 to 20! Expect one problem
on (Goodman or Soderberg or Gerber Criteria), bearings (life) calculation ,
torsion of a bar, loading on a plate with bolts, strain energy, S-N curve,
degrees of freedom, output velocity calculation of mechanism, relative
velocity approach, Instantaneous Centre Method, clutch power, brake power,
belt drive, conceptual questions on D.O.F. of mechanisms, simple gearing
ratio problems on spur gears, type of mechanism (based on link lengths),
simple spur gear main, quick return mechanism, mobility.
(4) VIBRATIONS
Questions on vibration account for 2-4 marks. You will find questions on simple
single D.O.F , finding natural frequencies (underdamped, critically damped,
overdamped)
(5) FLUID MECHANICS
This chapter accounts for 5-10 marks. Expect questions on simple & differential
piezometer, pressure column height calculation, Reynolds no. calculation,
