Question Engineering strain of a mild steel samples is recorded as 0.100%.The true
strain is
Type Multiple_choice
Option 0.010% incorrect
Option 0.55% incorrect
Option 0.99% correct
Option 0.101% incorrect
Solution Engineering strain (epsilon) = 0.1% = 0.1/100
True strain (epsilon_{T}) = ln(1 + epsilon)
epsilon_{T} = ln(1 + 0.1/100) = ln(100.1/100)
epsilon_{T} = 9.995x10 ^ - 4
E_{T} = 9.995x10 ^ - 4 x100 = 0.099%

Question A rod, 120cm long and of diameter 3.0 cm is subjected to an axial pull of
18 kN. The stress in N/mm2 is.
Type Multiple_choice
Option 22.57 incorrect
Option 23.47 incorrect
Option 24.57 incorrect
Option 25.47 correct
Solution Axial force, F = 18kN = 18 x10 ^3 N
Diameter of the rod, d = 3cm = 30mm
Cross-sectional area, A = pi/4 * d ^ 2 = pi/4 * (30) ^ 2 = 706.85mm ^ 2
Stress, sigma = F/A = (18 x10^3)/706.85 = 25.47N / mm ^ 2
