Open questionXE-DMCQ2 marksNeeds review
A rectangular plate of uniform thickness having initial length
and width
is placed between two rigid immovable walls. The temperature of the plate is increased by
. The plate is free to expand along the
and
directions. The mid-surface of the plate remains in the
-plane. The Poisson’s ratio is
and the coefficient of thermal expansion is
. Assuming that the plate is initially free of stresses, the change in length of the plate after the increase in temperature is given by

The figure shows two identical mass-less beams AB and CD, each clamped at one of their ends. The left end of beam CD rests on the right end of beam AB such that the ends of the beams are just in contact. The beams are unstressed before the application of load. Assume no friction at the contact. Now, if a uniformly distributed load of 800 N/m is applied on beam CD, the bending moment at the end B of beam AB in N.m is __________ (rounded off to the nearest integer)
