Strain is defined as "deformation of a solid due to
stress. Strain is a dimensionless unit since it is the
ratio of two lengths.
strain= change in length/original length
64. The poisson's ratio for steel varies from- [BREB-17; MES-18]
ব্যাখ্যা: Poisson's ratio values for different materiais.
Material Possion's ratio
Clay 0.30-0.45
Stainless steel 0.30-0.31
Steel (MS) 0.27-0.30
Castiron 0.21-0.26
66. If the resultant of two equal force has the same magnitude as either of the force, then the angle between the two forces is- [BADC-18]
ব্যাখ্যা: Let the two forces be found F₂ at an angle x where
IF₁I =I F₂I = IRI
We know,
Resultant force,
R^2 = P² + Q^2+2PQcos0
F₁ ^2= F₁ ^2 + F₁ ^2+2 F₁ ^2cos0
F₁ ^2=2 F₁ ^2(1+cos0)
Cancelling F₁ ^2 on both sides
1=2(1+cos0)
Cos0 = 1/2
0=120°
69. The ultimate tensile stress for mild steel is - the ultimate compressive stress. [MES-18]
ব্যাখ্যা: The ultimate tensile stress of mild steel is more than the ultimate compressive stress. Young modulus of a wire will be equal to stress for unit strain.
73. The highest value of specific heat is found in- [PPA-19]
ব্যাখ্যা: Among all the four given liquids that is kerosene, methane, alcohol and water only water has the highest specific heat. The value of specific heat of water is 4.18 Joules per gram.
74. If a material expands freely due to heating it will develop- [PPA-19]
ব্যাখ্যা it, it will expand. Since it is unconstrained it expands freely and no stresses occur. That is the thermal strain is equal to the total strain. Thus, the mechanical strain is zero and thus the "thermal stress" is zero.
77. Deformation per unit length in the direction of force is known as- [PPA-19]
ব্যাখ্যা: Linear strain of a deformed body is defined as the ratio of the change in length of the body due to the deformation to its original length in the direction of the force.
80. Which of the following materials is most elastic? [PPA-19]
ব্যাখ্যা: Both rubber and steel have elastic properties but steel is more elastie than rubber because steel comes back to its original shape faster than rubber when the deforming forces are removed. Steel has a higher elastic modulus (Young's modulus) than rubber.
