a) 1/8
b) 1/4
c) 1/2
d) 1/3
Answer: c
Explanation: Bending Stress = M/Z, Tensile stress =
P/A
FROM

i.e. M/Z = P/A
M = PL/4, Z = (π * D3)/32
, A = (π*D2)/4

37. Simply supported rolled steel joist 8 m
long carries a uniformly distributed load over it span so that the maximum
bending stress is 75 N/mm². If the slope at the ends is 0.005 radian and the
value of E = 0.2 × 106 N/mm², the depth of the joist, is
a) 200 mm
b)
250 mm
c)
300 mm
d) 400 mm
Answer: d
Explanation: Slope = wl^3/24EI.
0.05 = wl^3/24EI.
I = wl^3/24000.
We know that, F/Y = M/I
here F = 75N/mm2., Y =
d/2. & L = 8000mm.
by substituting values an solving we will get,
d = 400 mm
38.
The ratio of the length and depth of a simply supported rectangular beam
which experiences maximum bending stress equal to tensile stress, due to same
load at its mid span, is
a) 1/2
b) 2/3
c) 1/4
d) 1/3
Answer: b
Explanation:-Bending Stress=M(max)/Z =(PL/4)/(I/y)
=(PL/4)/[(bd^3/12)/(d/2)]
=(PL/4)/[bd^2/6]
=3PL/2bd^2
Now,
Tensile Stress=P/A =P/bd.
Since,
according to question,
Bending Stress=Tensile Stress
PL/2bd^2=P/bd.
L/d=2/3
