    Certain machine requires a torque of \[(500+50\,\sin 2\theta )\] kN.m to drive it where \[\theta \] is the angle of rotation of shaft measured from certain datum. The machine is directly coupled to an engine which produces a troque \[(500+50\,\sin \theta )\] kN.m in a cycle. How many times the value of torque of machine and engine will be identical?

    A) 1                                 

    B) 2

    C) 4                                 

    D) 8

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[500+50\sin \,2\theta =500+50\sin \theta \] \[\sin \,\,2\theta =\sin \theta \] Or \[\sin \,\,2\theta =\sin \theta =0\] \[2\sin \theta \cos \theta -\sin \theta =0\] Either \[\sin \theta =0\] giving \[\theta =0{}^\circ ,\]\[180{}^\circ ,\] \[360{}^\circ \] or \[\cos \theta =\frac{1}{2},\] giving \[\theta =60{}^\circ ,\] \[300{}^\circ \] \[\theta =0{}^\circ ,\] \[60{}^\circ ,\] \[180{}^\circ ,\] \[300{}^\circ \]= 4 times
