The principal stresses at a point in a critical section of a machine component are $${\sigma _1} = 60\,\,MPa,\,\,{\sigma _2} = 5\,\,MPa$$ and $${\sigma _3} = - 40\,\,MPa.$$ For the material of the component, the tensile yield strength is $${\sigma _y} = 200\,\,MPa.$$ According to the maximum shear stress theory, the factor of safety is

A steel plate, connected to a fixed channel using three identical bolts $$A, B$$ and $$C,$$ carries a load of $$6kN$$ as shown in the figure. Considering the effect of direct load and moment, the magnitude of resultant shear force (in $$kN$$) on bolt $$C$$ is.

It is desired to make a product having T-shaped cross - section from a rectangular aluminium block. Which one of the following processes is expected to provide the highest strength of the product?

A rod of length $$20$$ $$mm$$ is stretched to make a rod of length $$40$$ $$mm.$$ Subsequently, it is compressed to make a rod of final length $$10$$ $$mm.$$ Consider the longitudinal tensile strain as positive and compressive strain as negative. The total true longitudinal strain in the rod is
