Two rods, one of length $$L$$ and the other of length $$2L$$ are made of the same material and have the same diameter. The two ends of the longer rod are maintained at $${100^ \circ }C.$$ One end of the shorter end is maintained at $${100^ \circ }C.$$ while the other end is insulated. Both the rods are exposed to the same environment at $${40^ \circ }C.$$ The temperature at the insulated end of the shorter rod is measured to be $${55^ \circ }C.$$ The temperature at the mid-point of the longer rod would be

Starting friction is low in

Spherical roller bearings are normally used

Fatigue strength of a rod subjected to cyclic axial force is less than that of a rotating beam of the same dimensions subjected to steady lateral force because
