Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Angle of shear: φ = (rθ)/(l)
Step 2: r = 6 mm, l = 1000 mm, θ = 30^
Step 3: φ = (6)/(1000)× 30^ = 0.18^

- A steel wire can withstand a load up to $2940\, N$. A load of $150\, kg$ is suspended from a rigid support. The maximum angle through which the wire can be displaced from the mean position, so that the wire does not break when the load passes through the position of equilibrium, is
- A load of $1\, kg$ weight is a attached to one end of a steel wire of area of cross-section $ 3 \, mm^2$ and Young's modulus $10^{11} \, N/m^2$. The other end is suspended vertically from a hook on a wall, then the load is pulled horizontally and released. When the load passes through its lowest position the fractional change in length is $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$
- There is some change $W$ length when a $ 33000 \, N$ tensile force is applied on a steel rod of area of cross-section $10^{-3} \, m^2$. The change of temperature required to produce the same elongation, if the steel rod is heated, is (The modulus of elasticity is $3 \times 10^{11} N/m^2$ and the coefficient of linear expansion of steel is $ 1.1 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C)$.
- Two wires are made of the same material and have the same volume. However wire $1$ has cross sectional area A and wire $2$ has cross-sectional area $3A$. If the length of wire $1$ increases by $\Delta x$ on applying force $F$, how much force is needed to stretch wire $2$ by the same amount?
- Two wires of same material and same volume have cross-sectional areas A and 2A. If the first wire is elongated by Δ x under force F, the force required to stretch the second wire by the same amount is:
