1A steel rod carries an axial tensile force of 48 kN. The rod has a circular cross-section of diameter 20 mm. What is the average normal stress in the rod?
A.76.4 MPa
B.152.8 MPa
C.38.2 MPa
D.240 MPa
Explanation: σ = F/A. A = πd²/4 = π(0.020)²/4 = 3.142×10⁻⁴ m². With F = 48 000 N, σ = 48 000 / 3.142×10⁻⁴ = 1.528×10⁸ Pa = 152.8 MPa.
2A bolted joint carries a shear force of 18 kN on a single bolt of diameter 12 mm. Assuming single shear and uniform stress, the average shear stress in the bolt is closest to:
A.79.6 MPa
B.159.2 MPa
C.39.8 MPa
D.127 MPa
Explanation: τ = F/A with A = πd²/4 = π(0.012)²/4 = 1.131×10⁻⁴ m². τ = 18 000 / 1.131×10⁻⁴ = 1.591×10⁸ Pa ≈ 159.2 MPa.
3A rectangular bar 40 mm × 10 mm carries an axial compressive load of 20 kN. The compressive stress is:
A.50 MPa
B.5 MPa
C.500 MPa
D.20 MPa
Explanation: A = 0.040 × 0.010 = 4.0×10⁻⁴ m². σ = F/A = 20 000 / 4.0×10⁻⁴ = 5.0×10⁷ Pa = 50 MPa.
4A hollow circular shaft has outer diameter Do = 60 mm and inner diameter Di = 40 mm. It transmits a torque T = 1.0 kN·m. The maximum shear stress due to torsion is closest to:
A.29.5 MPa
B.51.5 MPa
C.15.0 MPa
D.73.0 MPa
Explanation: J = (π/32)(Do⁴ − Di⁴) = (π/32)(0.060⁴ − 0.040⁴) = (π/32)(1.296×10⁻⁵ − 2.56×10⁻⁶) = 1.021×10⁻⁶ m⁴. τ_max = T c / J = 1000 × 0.030 / 1.021×10⁻⁶ ≈ 2.94×10⁷ Pa ≈ 29.4 MPa, closest to 29.5 MPa.
5A simply supported beam of length L = 2.0 m carries a central concentrated load P = 4 kN. The maximum bending moment is:
A.1.0 kN·m
B.2.0 kN·m
C.4.0 kN·m
D.8.0 kN·m
Explanation: For a central point load on a simply supported beam, M_max = PL/4 = (4 kN)(2.0 m)/4 = 2.0 kN·m at mid-span.
6A rectangular beam has width b = 20 mm and depth h = 40 mm. The second moment of area about the neutral axis parallel to the width is:
A.1.067×10⁻⁷ m⁴
B.2.133×10⁻⁷ m⁴
C.5.333×10⁻⁸ m⁴
D.3.2×10⁻⁶ m⁴
Explanation: I = bh³/12 = (0.020)(0.040)³/12 = (0.020)(6.4×10⁻⁵)/12 = 1.067×10⁻⁷ m⁴.
7A beam cross-section has I = 2.0×10⁻⁶ m⁴. At a section where M = 1.5 kN·m, the bending stress at y = 40 mm from the neutral axis is:
A.30 MPa
B.7.5 MPa
C.75 MPa
D.3.0 MPa
Explanation: σ = My/I = (1500 N·m)(0.040 m) / 2.0×10⁻⁶ m⁴ = 3.0×10⁷ Pa = 30 MPa.
8A material has ultimate tensile strength σ_u = 400 MPa. For a design tensile stress of 100 MPa, the factor of safety based on ultimate strength is:
A.2
B.4
C.0.25
D.5
Explanation: Factor of safety n = σ_u / σ_allow = 400 / 100 = 4.
9A thin-walled cylindrical pressure vessel has internal diameter 200 mm and wall thickness 5 mm. For internal pressure p = 2.0 MPa, the hoop (circumferential) stress is:
A.20 MPa
B.40 MPa
C.10 MPa
D.80 MPa
Explanation: For a thin cylinder, σ_h = pD/(2t) = (2.0 MPa)(200 mm)/(2×5 mm) = 40 MPa.
10For the thin cylinder with p = 2.0 MPa, D = 200 mm and t = 5 mm, the longitudinal stress is:
A.40 MPa
B.20 MPa
C.10 MPa
D.80 MPa
Explanation: σ_l = pD/(4t) = (2.0)(200)/(4×5) = 20 MPa, half the hoop stress for a closed thin cylinder.
