Question 53
Open questionCENAT2 marksNeeds review
Consider the beam section shown in the figure, with
indicating the depth of neutral axis (NA). The section is only subjected to an increasing bending moment. It is given that
mm, when the section has not yielded at the top and bottom fibres. Further,
decreases to 5 mm, when the entire section has yielded. The shape factor of the section is ____________ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).

Open questionCE-2MCQ2 marksNeeds review
Consider the three prismatic beams with the clamped supports P, Q, and R as shown in the figures.
Given that the modulus of elasticity, E is 2.5×10⁴ MPa; and the moment of inertia, I is 8×10⁸ mm⁴, the correct comparison of the magnitudes of the shear force S and the bending moment M developed at the supports is
