- The ratio of the deflections of the free end of a cantilever due to an isolated load at 1/3rd and 2/3rd of the span, is
- A steel rod 1 metre long having square cross section is pulled under a tensile load of 8 tonnes. The extension in the rod was 1 mm only. If Esteel = 2 × 106 kg/cm², the side of the rod, is
- The assumption in the theory of bending of beams is:
- The maximum deflection of a simply supported beam of span L, carrying an isolated load at the centre of the span; flexural rigidity being EI, is
- The horizontal thrust on the ends of a two hinged semicircular arch of radius ‘R’ carrying
- For a strongest rectangular beam cut from a circular log, the ratio of the width and depth, is
- H V are the algebraic sums of the forces resolved horizontally and vertically respectively, M is the algebraic sum of the moments of forces about any point, for the equilibrium of the body acted upon
- The ratio of crippling loads of a column having both the ends fixed to the column having both the ends hinged, is
- The equivalent length of a column of length L, having both the ends hinged, is
- There are two hinged semicircular arches A, B and C of radii 5 m, 7.5 m and 10 m respectively and each carries a concentrated load W at their crowns. The horizontal thrust at their supports will be in the ratio of
