In the frame shown in the figure (not to scale), all four members (AB, BC, CD, and AD) have the same length and same constant flexural rigidity. All the joints A, B, C, and D are rigid joints. The midpoints of AB, BC, CD, and AD, are denoted by E, F, G, and H, respectively. The frame is in unstable equilibrium under the shown forces of magnitude π acting at E and G. Which of the following statements is/are TRUE?

In a two-dimensional stress analysis, the state of stress at a point is shown in the figure. The values of length of PQ, QR, and RP are 4, 3, and 5 units, respectively. The principal stresses are ________. (round off to one decimal place)
A 5 cm long metal rod AB was initially at a uniform temperature of T0Β°C. Thereafter, temperature at both the ends are maintained at 0Β°C. Neglecting the heat transfer from the lateral surface of the rod, the heat transfer in the rod is governed by the one-dimensional diffusion equation $\rm\frac{\partial T}{\partial t}=D\frac{\partial^2T}{\partial x^2}$, where D is the thermal diffusivity of the metal, given as 1.0 cm2/s.
The temperature distribution in the rod is obtained as
$\rm T(x,t)=\Sigma_{n=1,3,5...}^{\infty}C_n\sin\frac{n\pi x}{5}e^{-\beta n^2t}$,
where x is in cm measured from A to B with π₯ = 0 at A, t is in s, πΆπ are constants in Β°C, T is in Β°C, and Ξ² is in sβ1 .
The value of Ξ² (in π β1 , rounded off to three decimal places) is ________.
A beam is subjected to a system of coplanar forces as shown in the figure. The magnitude of vertical reaction at Support P is ______ N (round off to one decimal place).
