1. A rod of length L and diameter D is subjected to a tensile load P. Which of the following is sufficient to calculate the resulting
change in diameter ?
Answer
We can find out the change in length or longitudinal elongation using Youngs modulus, as shown below
PL
ΔL =
AE
Now to find the decrease in the diameter of the rod, we need to know the Poisson’s ratio (μ) defined as
Since, according to the given option D is correct as by knowing Both Young’s modulus and shear modulus, we can find other
properties like Poisson’s ratio (μ) and Bulk modulus (K), using
9N K
E = 2N (1 + μ) = 3K(1 − 2μ) =
N +3K
2. A cantilever type gate hinged at Q is shown in the figure. P and R are the centers of gravity of the cantilever part and the
counterweight respectively. The mass of the cantilever part is 75 kg. The mass of the counter weight, for static balance, is
Answer
3. The transverse shear stress acting in a beam of rectangular cross-section, subjected to a transverse shear load, is
(C) uniform
4. An axial residual compressive stress due to a manufacturing process is present on the outer surface of a rotating shaft
subjected to bending. Under a given bending load, the fatigue life of the shaft in the presence of the residual compressive stress
is
(A) decreased
(D) increased

In common data question of thin cylinder, first of all there is error in typing question, density of water
given is 100 kg/m3 but it should 1000 kg/m3. And i think the axial stress should be 10 Mpa. because
longitudinal stress at each and every point along the length is same.. Suppose if cylinder is open ended
then longitudinal stress is zero at each and every point along the length irrespective of height. Kindly
verify it.

Dear, the density is updated and the answer as i had explained can be either A or B according to
how we percieve it.
