SPRINGS MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS (MCQ) WITH ANSWERS
SPRINGS MULTIPLE CHOICE
QUESTIONS (MCQ) WITH
ANSWERS
Spring is an important part in almost every
machinery. These springs perform different
functions in different applications. These absorb
shocks in vehicles running on uneven roads.
These store energy in toys and circuit breakers.
These give cushion effect in sofas and cars.
Springs are of different types namely close
and open coiled helical springs, laminated
and spiral springs. MCQ on springs will increase
understanding and clarity about the springs.
