Two bolted plates under tension with alternative arrangement of bolt holes are shown in figures $$1$$ and $$2.$$ The hole diameter, pitch, and gauge length are $$d, p$$ and $$g$$ respectively.

Which one of the following conditions must be ensured to have higher net tensile capacity of configuration shown in figure $$2$$ than that shown in figure $$1$$?

An elastic isotropic body is in a hydrostatic state of stress as shown in the figure. For no change in the volume to occur, what should be its Poisson's ratio?

For the stress state (in MPa) shown in the figure, the major principal stress is 10 MPa.

The shear stress $$\tau $$ is

A $$450$$ $$mm$$ long plain concrete prism is subjected to the concentrated vertical loads as shown in the figure. Cross section of the prism is given as $$150\,\,mm\,\, \times \,\,150\,\,mm.$$ Considering linear stress distribution across the cross-section, the modulus of rupture (expressed in $$MPa$$) is ______________
