537 Questions

Solid mechanics questions evaluate the understanding of stress, strain, and material deformation under various loads. Topics include analyzing beams, cantilevers, and structural steel designs using specific industrial standards. These principles are strictly examined in engineering and civil services preliminary tests.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

$\text {We know that due to temperature changes, dimensions of the material change.}\\ \text{ If these changes in the dimensions are prevented partially or fully,stresses are generated in the material and if the changes in the dimensions are not prevented, there will be no stress set up.(Zero stresses).}\\ \text{ Hence cylindrical rod is allowed to expand or contract freely.} \\ So \sigma_r=0and \sigma_z=0$

Multiple choice
  1. equal deflections but not equal slopes

  2. equal slopes but not equal deflections

  3. equal slopes as well as equal deflections

  4. neither equal slopes nor equal deflections

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

From the figure, we can say that load P applies a force on upper cantilever and the reaction force also applied on upper cantilever by the rigid roller. Due to this, deflections occur in both the cantilever, which are equal in amount. But because of different forces applied by the P and rigid roller, the slopes are unequal.

  2. 4.0

  3. 8.0

  4. 10.7

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

 End A allows the only axial deformation which is negligible in case of buckling for long column and at end B when$K_T$ approaches infinity,it will behave as fixed end.So, both the ends behave as fixed ends.$$P_{cr}=4\frac{\pi ^2 EI}{I^2}\therefore\alpha=4.00$$
