Important Questions on Mechanical Properties of Solids




A circular wire of radius , placed on a horizontal surface is made to rotate about a fixed vertical axis passing through its center as shown. If breaking stress of the material of wire is , then find maximum value of so that wire does not break (Cross-sectional area of wire is is the linear mass density of wire)

Consider an arrangement shown in the diagram which is combination of two rods (1) and (2). Their length, cross-sectional area and Young's modulus are shown in diagram. If force is applied at end of rod (2), then total elongation of combined system is is the common end of rod (1) and (2)

Consider a metal rod shown in figure. Two forces are applied at the ends of the rod. Find displacement of point

A metallic rod of cross-sectional area is subjected to equal and opposite tensile forces at its ends as shown in figure. Consider a plane making an angle as indicated in figure. For what value of $\theta$ is the shearing stress on plane is maximum?
