A horizontal bar, fixed at one end (x = 0), has a length of 1 m, and cross-sectional area of 100 mm². Its elastic modulus varies along its length as given by E(x) = 100 e^-x GPa, Where x is the length coordinate (in m) along the axis of the bar. An axial tensile load of 10 kN is applied at the free end (x=1). The axial displacement of the free end is _______ mm.

Consider a beam with circular cross-section of diameter $$d.$$ The ratio of the second moment of area about the neutral axis to the section modulus of the area is

An initially stress-free massless elastic beam of length $$L$$ and circular cross-section with diameter $$d (d < < L)$$ is held fixed between two walls as shown. The beam material has Young's modulus $$E$$ and coefficient of thermal expansion $$\alpha .$$

If the beam is slowly and uniformly heated, the temperature rise required to cause the beam to buckle is proportional to

A motor driving a solid circular steel shaft transmits $$40$$ $$kW$$ of power at $$500$$ $$rpm$$. If the diameter of the shaft is $$40$$ $$mm,$$ the maximum shear stress in the shaft is ________ $$MP$$a.
