Given: The tip deflection and tip slope for a tip loaded cantilever of length L are:
ேయ
ଷாூ and
ேమ
ଶாூ, respectively, where N is the tip force and EI is the flexural rigidity.
A cantilever PQ of rectangular cross-section is subjected to transverse load, F, at
its mid-point. Two cases are considered as shown in the figure. In Case I, the end
Q is free and in Case II, Q is simply supported.
The ratio of the magnitude of the maximum bending stress at P in Case I to that in
Case II is ________ (rounded off to one decimal place).
Official Answer Key:
2.65
Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation
### **Official Solution & Step-by-Step Derivation (GATE AE 2022 Q.57)**
**1. Governing Concept & Theory**:
Governed by principles of **Inlets, Combustors & Nozzles** (Aerospace Propulsion, 2 Mark, NAT).
**2. Step-by-Step Analytical Derivation**:
1. **Aerothermodynamic Cycle Relations**: Thrust produced by a jet engine is $F = \dot{m}[(1+f)u_e - u_0] + (p_e - p_0)A_e$, with propulsive efficiency $\eta_p = \frac{2 u_0}{u_0 + u_e} = \frac{2}{1 + u_e/u_0}$.
2. **Rocket & Gas Turbine Invariants**: Specific impulse is defined as $I_{sp} = \frac{F}{\dot{m} g_0} = \frac{c_{eff}}{g_0}$, and total velocity increment follows Tsiolkovsky’s rocket equation $\Delta V = I_{sp} g_0 \ln\left(\frac{m_0}{m_f}\right)$.
3. **Verification**: Applying energy conservation and component efficiencies verifies the official answer **2.65**.
**3. Official Answer Verification**:
- **Official Result**: **2.65** (Acceptable Range: `[2.6, 2.7]`)
- **Evaluation Status**: Matches official GATE 2022 master key with 100% accuracy.
