Cross-section of a column consisting of two steel strips, each of thickness $$t$$ and width $$b$$ is shown in the figure below. The critical loads of the column with perfect bond and without bond between the strips are $$P$$ and $${P_0}$$ respectively. The ratio $$P/{P_0}$$ is

A mild steel specimen is under uniaxial tensile stress. Young's modulus and yield stress for mild steel are $$2 \times {10^5}\,\,MPa$$ and $$250$$ $$MPa$$ respectively. The maximum amount of strain energy per unit volume that can be stored in this specimen without permanent set is

A thin walled cylindrical pressure vessel having a radius of $$0.5$$ $$m$$ and wall thickness of $$25$$ $$mm$$ is subjected to an internal pressure of $$700$$ $$kPa$$. The hoop stress developed is

Beam $$GHI$$ is supported by these pontoons as shown in the figure below. The horizontal cross sectional area of each pontoon is $$8\,\,{m^2},$$ the flexural rigidity of the beam is $$10000$$ $$kN$$-$${m^2}$$ and the unit weight of water is $$10$$ $$kN$$/$${m^3}$$.

When the middle pontoon is brought back to its position as shown in the figure above, the reaction at $$H$$ will be
