1. The illustration is a diagrammatic representation of:

A tensile load
Single shear
A compressive load
# Double shear

2. Stress equals:
Load divided by strain
Strain multiplied by load
# Load divided by cross sectional area
Cross sectional area multiplied by load

3. Strain equals:
# Change in length divided by original length
Original length divided by change in length
Change in diameter divided by original diameter
Original diameter divided by change in diameter

4. A test that measures the load over the extension of a test piece is called:
A stress test
# A tensile test
A strain test
A compression test

5. Point A on the graph shown is known as:

The yield point
The elastic limit A
# The limit of proportionality
The ultimate stress

6. Within the elastic limit the material will return to its original dimensions but if this is exceeded:
The diameter will increase
It will only return by half the amount of the extension
# It will have become plastic and retain its new dimensions
It will become brittle and snap

7. Maximum load divided by original cross sectional area equals:
Ultimate breaking stress
# Tensile strength
Point of plastic deformation
Limit of proportionality

8. Hooke’s law relates to:

# Elasticity
Plasticity
Ductility
Fatigue

9. Hooke’s law states, within the limit of proportionality, stress divided by strain:
Is a variable
Is equal to the reduction in area
Is equal to the ultimate breaking point
# Is a constant

10. Young’s Modulus of Elasticity (E):

# Equals stress divided by strain
Equals stress multiplied by strain
Equals strain divided by stress
Equals strain multiplied by stress

11. For mild steel E has a value of:

200,000 MN/mm²
200,000 kN/mm²
200,000 NM/m²
# 200,000 MN/m²

12. The beam shown in the illustration is said to be:

Freely suspended
Simply supported
# Encastre
Cantilever

13. If a load is suspended at the centre of a simply supported beam the top flange will be:
Subject to tensile stress
Subject to torsional stress
# Subject to compressive stress
Free of stress

14. The deeper a beam in section:

The more liable it is to bending
The less the load it can carry
# The greater the load it can carry
It has no effect on the load it can carry

18. A steel bar 20mm x 20mm is subject to a load of 10kN. What is the stress in the bar?
# 25MN/m²
250MN/m²
50MN/m²
500MN/m²

19. A bolt in tension supports a load of 6 tons and has a csa of .75 ins². What is the stress in the bolt?
4.5 tons/ins²
6 tons/ins²
# 8 tons/ins²
10 tons/ins²

20. A sheave pin in double shear is subject to a force of 5kN. If the pin has a cross sectional area of 100mm²,
what is the shear stress in the pin?
250N/mm²
# 25N/mm²
500N/mm²
50N/mm²
