Hints and Explanations

1. E = 2G (1 + m) t = 20 mm = 20 × 10–3m
= 2G (1 + 0.5) ⇒ E = 3G Choice (B) s = 50 kN/m2
2. L = 1.6 m m = 0.3
π G = 90 × 109 N/m2
q = 1° = radian V = b t = 3000 × 30 × 20
180
  = 18 × 105 mm3
G = 8 × 106 N/cm2 = 8 × 1010 N/m2
E = 2G (1 + m)
τ = 10, 000 N/cm2 = 1 × 108 N/m2
E = 2 × 90 × 109 (1 + 0.3) = 234 × 109 N/m2
