STRENGTH OF MATERIALS Q.

1 The ratio of shear stress to shear strain is called as (a) Young modulus of elasticity (c) Modulus of rigidity Answer: (c) Explanation: Hooks law Q. 2 Proof resilience is the property of the materials which indicates their capacity to bear the (a) shocks (c) static tensile loads (b) static compressive loads (d) none of the above (b) Bulk modulus of elasticity (d) Poissons ratio

Answer: (a) Explanation: It is the definition of proof stress Q.3 The point of contra flexural is that point where (a) shear force is maximum (b) bending moment is maximum (c) bending moment changes its (d) shear force changes its sign sign Answer: (d) Explanation: Definition Q.3 On principal plane the shear stresses are (a) maximum (c) 0 (b) minimum (d) none

Answer: (c) Explanation: The shear stresses are zero on principal plane Q.4 Circular beam of uniform strength can be made by varying the diameter in such way that (a) M/Z is constant (c) M/R is constant (b) /Y is constant (d) E/R is constant

Answer: (a) Explanation: we know that = M/Z. For uniform stress the term M/Z should also be constant Q.5 The mean shear stress in a circular cross section beam is 100 MPa. The maximum shear stress in the beam will be (a) 400/3 MPa (c) 150 MPa (b) 100/3 MPa (d) 100 MPa

Answer: (a) Explanation: For a circular beam, max = (4/3) mean

Q.6

A simply supported beam of span L carrying appoint load W at mid span. The deflection at the centre of the beam is equal to (a) WL2/48EI (c) 5WL3/348EI Answer: (b) Explanation: Standard relation (b) WL3/48EI (d) WL2/348EI

Q. 7

The maximum shear stress at the outer most fibre of a shaft is 60MPa. The stress at a radius of 75% of the outer radius will be equal to (a) 80 MPa (c) 30 MPa (b) 60 MPa (d) 45 MPa

Answer: (d) Explanation: Using the relation: 1/r1 = 2/2 = max / ro 1 = max r1/ro = max x 0.75 ro/ro 60x 0.75 = 45 MPa Q.8 The ratio of equivalent length of a column having one end hinged and other is fixed, to its length is (a) 2 (c) 1/2 (b) 2 (d) 1/ 2

Answer: (d) Explanation: we know that for one end fixed and other hinged the equivalent length of the column is 1/ 2 times of its length Q.9 Two spring of stiffness k1 and k2 are connected in series, the stiffness of the composite spring is given by (a) k = k1 + k2 (c) k = k1k2/ (k1 + k2) (b) k = k1 x k2 (d) k = (k1 + k2) / k1k2

Answer: (c) Explanation: It is the relation for equivalent length Q.10 In case of thin cylindrical shell, the volumetric strain is given by (a) v = (p2d/2tE)(2.5 2/m) (c) v = (pd/4tE)(2.5 2/m) Answer: (d) Explanation: Standard relation (b) v = (pd2/2tE)(2.5 2/m) (d) v = (pd/2tE)(2.5 2/m)
