2. A cantilever of length 2 cm and depth 10 cm tapers in plan from a width 24 cm to zero at its free end. If the modulus of elasticity of the material is 0.2 x 106 N/mm2, the deflection of the free end, is
5. The ratio of the length and diameter of a simply supported uniform circular beam which experiences maximum bending stress equal to tensile stress due to same load at its mid span, is
6. If a solid shaft (diameter 20 cm, length 400 cm, N = 0.8 x 105 N/mm2) when subjected to a twisting moment, produces maximum shear stress of 50 N/mm2, the angle of twist in radians, is
Correct Answer: a uniformly distributed load w/unit length
8. A cantilever of length L is subjected to a bending moment M at its free end. If EI is the flexural rigidity of the section, the deflection of the free end, is
