1. The strain energy stored in a body, when the load is gradually applied, is (where ? = Stress in the material of the body, V = Volume of the body, and E = Modulus of elasticity of the material)
2. A body is subjected to a tensile stress of 1200 MPa on one plane and another tensile stress of 600 MPa on a plane at right angles to the former. It is also subjected to a shear stress of 400 MPa on the same planes. The maximum shear stress will be
3. The maximum bending moment of a cantilever beam of length l and carrying a uniformly distributed load of w per unit length lies at the middle of its length.
4. When the shear force diagram between any two points is an inclined straight line, it indicates that there is a uniformly varying load between the two points.
