- Stress may be expressed in Newtons
- Pick up the correct statement from the following:
- The locus of the moment of inertia about inclined axes to the principal axis, is
- The point of contraflexure is the point where
- A lift of weight W is lifted by a rope with an acceleration f. If the area of cross-section of the rope is A, the stress in the rope is
- If a solid shaft (diameter 20 cm, length 400 cm, N = 0.8 × 105 N/mm²) when subjected to a twisting moment, produces maximum shear stress of 50 N/mm 2, the angle of twist in radians, is
- The ratio of shear stress and shear strain of an elastic material, is
- A steel plate d × b is sandwiched rigidly between two timber joists each D × B/2 in section. The steel will be (where Young’s modulus of steel is m times that of the timber).
- An isolated load W is acting at a distance a from the left hand support, of a three hinged arch of span 2l and rise h hinged at the crown, the horizontal reaction at the support, is
- A spring of mean radius 40 mm contains 8 action coils of steel (N = 80000 N/mm²), 4 mm in diameter. The clearance between the coils being 1 mm when unloaded, the minimum compressive load to remove the clearance, is
