Strength of Materials - Section 1 (5)

Two closely coiled helical springs 'A' and 'B' are equal in all respects but the number of turns of spring 'A' is half that of spring 'B' The ratio of deflections in spring 'A' to spring 'B' is

The maximum diameter of the hole that can be punched from a plate of maximum shear stress 1/4^th of its maximum crushing stress of punch, is equal to (where t = Thickness of the plate)

The bending moment at a point on a beam is the algebraic __________ of all the moments on either side of the point.

When a body is subjected to two equal and opposite pushes, as a result of which the body tends to reduce its length, the stress and strain induced is compressive.

In order to prevent crushing of masonry at the base of the dam, the maximum stress should be __________ the permissible stress of the soil.

A masonry dam may fail due to

If the slenderness ratio for a column is 100, then it is said to be a __________ column.
