(A) P is solenoidal, but not irrotational (B) P is irrotational, but not solenoidal, (C) P is neither solenoidal nor irrotational (D) P is both solenoidal and irrotational Answer: (A) P x 3 ya x x 2 y 2 a y x 2 yza z Exp: .P 3x y 2x 2 y x 2 y 0 It is solenoidal. a x a y P x y 3 x y x 2 y2 a z z x 2 yz a x x 2 y a y 2xyz a z 2xy 2 x 3 0 So P is solenoidal but not irrotational. 46. All the logic gates shown in the figure have a propagation delay of 20 ns. Let A=C=0 and B=1 until time t=0. At t= 0, all the inputs flip (i.e., A = C = 1 and B = 0) and remain in that state. For t > 0, output Z = 1 for a duration (in ns) of A B C Answer: 47. Z 40 K 1 A plant transfer function is given as G s K p I . When the plant operates in a s s s 2 unity feedback configuration, the condition for the stability of the closed loop system is (A) K p Answer: KI 0 2 (B) 2K I K p 0 (C) 2K I K p 4. 2K I K p (A) © All rights reserved by Gateforum Educational Services Pvt.
