161. A cantilever beam of uniform EI has span equal to 'L' . An upward force W acts at the mid point of the beam and a downward force P acts at the free end. In
order that the deflection at the free end is zero, the relation between P and W should be W = 16P/5

proportional to 1/K
164. A load P is acting on the diagonal of a square column of size 'D' as shown in

166. A circular shaft subjected to torsion undergoes a twist of 1° in a length of 120
cm. If the maximum shear stress induced is limited to 1000 kg/cm² and if modulus of rigidity G = 0.8 x 106 kg/cm², then the radius of the shaft should be 27/π

168. In order to produce bending and shear stresses of equal magnitudes at the
extreme fibres of a circular cross section under the action of combined bending and torsion, the ratio of bending to twisting moments must be 1/2

170. A bar AB, 4 cm in diameter and 4 m long is rigidly fixed at its ends. A torque of
12,000 kg. cm is applied at a section of the bar, one metre from end A. The fixing

171. Given that the density of earth is w, the angle of repose is Φ and h is the height of the wall and the earth retrained is level, the active earth pressure 'P' on a retaining wall is given by
172. Creep is time dependent deformation under stress
173. In a close coiled helical spring subjected to an axial load, other quantities remaining the same , if the wire diameter is doubled, then the stiffness of the spring when compared to the original one, will become sixteen times
174. A compound bar consisting of material A and B is tightly secured at the ends. The coefficient of thermal expansion of A is more than that of B. When the
temperature is increased the stresses induced will be compressive in material A and tensile in material B
175. A single direct stress 'p' acts along the longitudinal axis (x-axis) of a bar of

177.
1.Welded structures are usually lighter than riveted structures. 2.Welding allows the arrangement of structural components in such a manner that the joint provides maximum efficiency
178.
The shear stress distribution over a rectangular cross section of a beam follows
In -the Fig. 10.21, 0\ and a2 are the maximum and minimum principal

179.Four vertical columns of the same material, height and weight have the same

180. If all the dimensions of a prismatic bar elongating under its own weight are
increased in the proportion m:l, then the total elongation will increase in the ratio
