Mechanical engineering Questions and Answers


1. Least count of a Vernier metric micrometer ?
ans. 0.001mm
(A vernier micrometer is used for measurement purposes. The metric micrometer looks similar like an ordinary micrometer. The difference between both are graduations on the sleeve and the barrel. There are two seperate lines on the sleeve of metric micrometer. The lower row contains millimeter graduations and the upper row represents one half millimeter. Thimble moves the spindle 0.5 mm on each complete turn. The vernier metric micrometer has an ability to measure about two thousands of a mm.)

2. A chemical compound of carbon with iron is called ?
ans. Cementite
(Cementite is an intermetallic component of Iron and Carbon. Commonly called as Iron Carbide with formula Fe3C. It has an orthorhombic crystal structure with 6.67%Carbon and 93.3% Iron. Simply for your knowledge lets assume You have iron and Coke available as raw materials. Coke is obtained from Coking of Coal by carbonisation. Now heat them together in a furnace upto melting temperature. Approximately 1540 degree. For solidification we have to reduce its temperature from 1540-1200. We get a BCC structure called as delta ferrite. Again on cooling structure changes to FCC and we get Austenite 723 at degree( This temperature also called as austenitising temperature). On cooling down further austenite changes to pearlite (alpha ferrite+Cementite). 
Ferrite: Pure steel with less carbon
Cementite: Relatively harder which contains 6.67% Carbon
Pearlite: Which contains both ferrite and Cementite formed after Eutectoid reaction at 723 degrees.
Austenite: FCC Structure exists above 723 degree )


















3. A welding rectifier is used to:
ans. Convert an AC welding supply into DC supply
(A welding rectifier converts AC to DC supply and maintains the stability of arc in arc welding.)

4. Testing a weld without damaging the joint is called ?
ans. Non destructive testing
(NDT evaluates the properties of material without causing any damage to the material. Six most frequently used NDT methods are Eddy current, Magnetic particle, Liquid penetrant, Radiographic, Ultrasonic and Visual testing. These tests reveal weak or defective sections that can be corrected before the material released to be used outside)


5. A sine bar is used for :
ans. Finding the angle of a taper job

Exam pattern for GRE



The GRE is a generalised test that isn’t related to any particular discipline or field. It has been designing to evaluate skills that you’ve already picked up over the years. This allows a wide range of universities to use it to benchmark applicants from diverse backgrounds applying to a big mix of degrees.
If you were to look at the overall GRE exam pattern, it has 3 sections: Analytical Writing, Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning.

Analytical Writing


This section tests you ability to analyse facts, dissect arguments, judge the presented evidence and put forth your views in the most convincing and structured manner. 

Verbal Reasoning


This section checks your capacity to understand the content author’s perspectives and intentions, prioritise the points made, and connect the dots across various ideas presented, even if they may not necessarily be documented in a coherent manner. This is the tricky section for non-native English speakers. 

Quantitative Reasoning


This is where you comfort level with numbers and quantitative data is tested. You’ll have to understand the problem and use models and mathematical formulas (from geometry, algebra, arithmentic) to solve them. The good news is that you will have access to a calculator. So no complex mental arithmetic to be done.

Google Pixel 2 XL: Review Camera features


Google Pixel 2 XL camera beats Iphone camera with these following 5 unique features.

1. Portrait Mode

In photography or digital photography portrait mode is a function used in digital camera used when you want to click a picture of a single object. When taking photos in portrait mode, the camera will automatically uses a larger aperture to keep the background out of focus. This uses a narrow depth of field so the subject being photographed is the only thing in focus.


2. Video Stabilization

This feature gives you clearer stabilized views rather than blurred vision in a video.  It's a way to cancel (as best as possible) your moves (vibrations) while you're recording a movie. 
It can be either electronic, the sensor being a little bigger than the movie frames ("pictures"), 
or mechanical, by moving the sensor, one lens or a mirror in the opposite direction than the detected move. If done well, if can provide much better pictures, especially when zooming (while recording), if of low quality it can blur everything you tape. Anyway Google Pixel 2 XL has this unique feature to stabilize video and provide better quality Videos. 

3. Google Photos Assistant 

Assistant can create photo albums, make GIF animations, create great movies, and group (or juxtapose) photos in collages. All you need to do is open the app, then tap the menu and go to Settings > Assistant Cards. Tap New creations to enable it. You’ll now receive cards and notifications informing you when the assistant has made something new for you. When your smartphone is full of photos, it can be difficult to find what you’re looking for. The sensible option, therefore, is to group them into albums. Every photo on my Android device — and therefore, on my Google drive — has been grouped into an album by the assistant. Using the date and the location the photos were snapped  albums are automatically created by the assistant while you sleep. This is a great way to group photos and videos from, say, a trip to the zoo, or even an entire holiday.

If you want to take control from the assistant, simply tap the Assistant button in the lower-left corner of the app, then Album (you can also use the top-right menu). In the Create album screen, tap the images you wish to include, then Create. Wait for the album to be created, assign a name, and wait for it to be saved. Here, you can even add text, add photos, rearrange the photo order (long-tap and drag, or use the sorting button) and even set the location. Tap the check button when you’re done.

4. Google Lens
Google Lens is a unique feature for Google Pixel 2 XL. For the moment, Google is only talking about a "preview" of lens shipping on Pixel 2 phones. But as a part of Google Assistant, Google Lens has the potential to reach every Android phone or tablet on Marshmallow  and up, letting these devices recognize objects, landmarks and other details visually (with a little help from your location data) and conjure up actionable information about them. For example, you might be able to identify a certain flower visually, then bring up info on it from Google's knowledge graph. Or it could scan a restaurant in the real world, and bring up reviews and photos from Google Maps. Or it could identify a phone number o a flier, or an SSID and password on the back of a Wi-Fi router.



Whether it's through a camera interface in Google Assistant, or after the fact through Google Photos, the strength of Lens — if it works as advertised — will be the accurate identification and the ability to provide useful info based on that. It's absolutely natural, then, that Lens should come baked into the camera app (and Photos itself) on the new Google Pixel 2 XL smartphone. 

5. Low light Photos 
Digital photography is easy- when you have plenty of light and the conditions are ideal. But, as you may know, lighting conditions in digital photography aren’t always as we would like them. In digital photography its essential that we work with light as much as humanly possible otherwise disappointing results may occur. Google Pixel 2 XL helps you to click skillful pictures in low light.

How to get rid of trackers behind you?


Know how to find out if you are being tracked on Internet
http://anurageros.blogspot.in/2017/10/how-to-get-rid-of-trackers-behind-you.html


Have your ever noticed some commercial ads when you once click on one product on Flipkart or Amazon similar kinds of many products will be visible to your facebook page. This is due to inter connectivity between different websites. Google tracks your every move on Internet. Google earns money by doing so. Google's revenue is based on advertising. Tracking a users movement will give an idea about the interests of the user.
On the Internet allowing yourself to be tracked will not harm you. No one will be forcing you to click definitely on an ad or the right to show that ad is with in the user's hand.
But there are some malicious tracking which is dangerous as a cyber criminal tracking your moves. It can be easily done using a malware that is installed on your Computer or any other devices connected to Internet. There are some malwares which can get in to your Webcams or Recorders yo access your private information.

Cross check Your Outgoing traffic on Computer


  • When you open windows you can see a start button type 'cmd' here to open your command box.
  • Here you can see a black box with white text 'C:\users\username
  • On the next prompt click ' netstat' and press Enter key to generate details of your outgoing data transmissions. This will give you an idea about IP addresses that your computer is sending information to.
  • Copy each of those IP addresses and paste it on a web browser
  • Locate where the information is being send


Finding out Stealth Applications


  • Enter Alt+Ctrl+Delete button to launch your Task Manager
  • Close all other programmes except one web browser you are using
  • Select 'Processes' tab and select your username and check all the processes running on your computer.
  • Check if there are any processes do not including your username
  • This maybe a malicious software
  • Clear it with uninstall window


                                  If you find out these unnatural processes on your computer immediately SignOut from all the social media accounts you are logged in. You are easy to track down if you are logged in to social media. Because you are allowing social media to know whatever you do on Internet. If you are simply ignoring such things you are allowing your personal information to be misused by a third party.  You can also use a special software that block tracking.
Incognito mode will not help, it will not completely stop showing ads. A browser add on like Hot-spot shield hides your IP address. With your IP address website could get to know your country or your registration details on the site.

Be cautious for those illegal trackers
