  2. 1

  3. cant say

  4. 90

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Tensile stress$=\cfrac { force }{ area } =\cfrac { F\cos { \theta  }  }{ A\sec { \theta  }  } $
$=\cfrac { F }{ A } \cos ^{ 2 }{ \theta  } $
Tensile strength will be maximum when $\cos ^{ 2 }{ \theta  } $ is maximum i.e., $\cos { \theta  } =1$ or $\theta =0°$

A composite rod is 1000 mm long, its two ends are 40 $mm^2$ and 30 $mm^2$ in area and length are 300 mm and 200 mm respectively. The middle portion of the rod is 20 $mm^2$ in area and 500 mm long. If the rod is subjected to an axial tensile load of 1000 N, find its total elongation (in mm). (E = 200 GPa).

  2. 0.111

  3. 0.196

  4. none of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$k=\dfrac{EA}{L}$

$k _1=\dfrac{EA _1}{L _1}$,$k _2=\dfrac{EA _2}{L _2}$,$k _3=\dfrac{EA _3}{L _3}$
$k _1=E\times \dfrac{40}{300} \times 10^{-3}$
$k _2=E\times \dfrac{30}{200} \times 10^{-3}$
$k _3=E\times \dfrac{20}{500} \times 10^{-3}$
$k _1=\dfrac{4E}{3} \times 10^{-4}$
$k _1=\dfrac{3E}{3} \times 10^{-4}$
$k _1=\dfrac{2E}{3} \times 10^{-4}$
$k _1,k _2,k _3$ are in series.
$\dfrac{1}{k _{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{k _1}+\dfrac{1}{k _2}+\dfrac{1}{k _3}$
$=\dfrac{3\times 10^4}{4E}$+$\dfrac{2\times 10^4}{3E}$+$\dfrac{5\times 10^4}{2E}$
$=\dfrac{10^4}{E}(\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{5}{2})$
$=\dfrac{10^4}{E} \times \dfrac{47}{12}$
$k _{eq}=\dfrac{12E}{47} \times 10^{-4}$
$F=1000N$
$1000=\dfrac{12E}{47}\times 10^{-4} \Delta l$
$\Delta l=\dfrac{1000 \times 47}{12E}\times 10^4$
$\Delta l=\dfrac{1000\times 47 \times 10^4}{12\times 200 \times 10^9}$
$=19.6\times 10^{-5}$
$=0.196 mm$
