A vertical rod $$PQ$$ of length $$L$$ is fixed at its top end $$P$$ and has a flange fixed to the bottom end $$Q.A$$ weight $$W$$ is dropped vertically from a height $$h\left( { < L} \right)$$ on to the flange. The axial stress in the rod can be reduced by

A hollow circular shaft has an outer diameter of $$100$$ $$mm$$ and a wall thickness of $$25$$ $$mm.$$ The allowable shear stress in the shaft is $$125$$ $$MPa.$$ The maximum torque the shaft can transmit is

The point within the cross sectional plane of a beam through which the resultant of the external loading on the beam has to pass through to ensure pure bending without twisting of the cross-section of the beam is called
