When a closely-coiled helical spring of mean diameter (D) is subjected to an axial load (W), the stiffness of the spring is given by

When a body is subjected to a direct tensile stress (σx) in one plane accompanied by a simple shear stress (τxy ), the maximum normal stress is
-
The strain energy stored in a body, when suddenly loaded, is __________ the strain energy stored when same load is applied gradually.
-
The shear force at the centre of a simply supported beam with a gradually varying load from zero at both ends to w per metre at the centre, is
-
The proof resilience per unit volume of a material is known as modulus of resilience.
