Strength of Materials - Section 1 (2)

The shear stress at any section of a shaft is maximum

When loads are applied proportionately to a frame structure containing its members in one plane, the structure is called

In a beam, the neutral plane

The range within which a load can be applied on a rectangular column, to avoid any tensile stress, is

A simply supported beam carrying a uniformly distributed load over its whole span, is propped at the centre of the span so that the beam is held to the level of the end supports. The reaction of the prop will be

A shaft turning 150 r.p.m. is subjected to a torque of 150 kgm. Horse power transmitted by the shaft is

Influence lines are drawn for structures

If a rectangular beam measuring 10 x 18 x 400 cm carries a unformly distributed load such that the bending stress developed is 100 kg/cm2. The intensity of the load per metre length, is
