Total Questions: 50

41. Choose the option which correctly show the relationship between Modulus of Elasticity (E); Modulus of Rigidity (C) and Bulk Modulus (K): [RRB JE (Bilaspur/Kolkata/Mumbai/Guwahati)-14.12.2014]

Correct Answer: (c)

42. For perfectly elastic bodies, the value of coefficient of restitution is: [RRB JE (Bilaspur/Kolkata/Mumbai/Guwahati)-14.12.20]

Correct Answer: (c) 1.0
Solution:

The coefficient of restitution (COR) is the ratio of the after impact to the before impact relative velocity between two objects after they collide.
(i) For perfectly elastic collision (e) = 1
(ii) For perfectly inelastic collision (e) = 0
(iii) For other collision 0 < e < 1

43. In a body, loaded under plane stress conditions, the number of independent stress components in order to completely specify the state of stress at a point is [BPSC AE (GEN. ENGG.) 16.09.2018 ]

Correct Answer: (b) 3
Solution:

When a body loaded under plane stress conditions, the number of independent stress components is 3, where is two normal components and one shear component which is σx, σy and σxy.

• But in case of three dimensional number of components in stress tensor at a point is 9 each component represents the stress acting on a particular plane.

44. A shaft of 60 mm diameter is subjected to torsion has a shear strain of 0.0006. The rate of twist will be equal to [BPSC AE (GEN. ENGG.) 16.09.2018 ]

Correct Answer: (a) 0.00002
Solution:

Given,
Diameter of shaft, d = 60 mm
Radius of shaft, r = 30 mm
Shear strain (φ) = 0.006

45. The equivalent spring constant for a bar of length L, cross-sectional area A and modulus of elasticity E is subjected to an axial force P is [BPSC AE (GEN. ENGG.) 16.09.2018 ]

Correct Answer: (a) AE / L
Solution:

46. The ratio of maximum shear stress to average shear stress in a beam of rectangular crosssection is [BPSC AE (GEN. ENGG.) 16.09.2018 ]

Correct Answer: (d) 1.5
Solution:

47. In a symmetrical I-section beam, the bending stress will be maximum at [BPSC AE (GEN. ENGG.) 16.09.2018 ]

Correct Answer: (b) the top and bottom of the beam section
Solution:

σₘₐₓ = bending stress which depending upon y.
Then, maximum bending stress in symmetrical Isection at top and bottom but that nature are different (compression or tension).

48. A circular shaft is subjected to a twisting moment Mt and bending moment M. The ratio of maximum stress developed due to bending moment and that due to twisting moment is equal to [BPSC AE (GEN. ENGG.) 16.09.2018 ]

Correct Answer: (b)
Solution:

In circular shaft bending stress due to bending moment.

49. If a simply-supported beam of span L carries a moment force at its mid-span, then the shear force diagram will be [BPSC AE (GEN. ENGG.) 16.09.2018 ]

Correct Answer: (b) rectangular
Solution:

Simply supported beam of span L carries a moment force at its mid span.

50. A bar held between two rigid supports will be subjected to tensile stress if it is [BPSC AE (GEN. ENGG.) 16.09.2018 ]

Correct Answer: (b) cooled
Solution:

• A bar held between two rigid supports will be subjected to tensile stress if it is cooled.
• A bar held between two rigid supports will be subjected to compressive stress if it is heated.
