:(Problem (1

:In the following question, select (circle) the most appropriate answer :The material is said to behave elastically if -1 .The strain is linearly proportional to stress .a

.The strain disappears when stress is removed .b

.The ratio between stress and strain is constant .c

.All of the above .d

:Referring to Figure-1, material A is -2

.Stronger and more ductile than material B .a More brittle with larger (E) than that of material B .b .Weaker and more brittle than material B .c .More ductile with smaller (E) than that of material B .d

:In Figure-2, two bars of same cross section and material but of different length -3 Axial (normal) stress in member A is smaller than that of member B .a

Axial strain in member A is equal to that of member B .b

Axial strain in member A is small than that of member B .c

.Total elongation of member A is equal to that of member B .d

In Figure-3, two bars of same cross section and length but of different materials (E) are fixed -4 :together and restrained at A and B. If a force (P) is applied as shown then (reaction (Ra) > reaction ( Rb .a

(reaction (Ra) < reaction ( Rb .b

(reaction (Ra) = reaction ( Rb .c
