GATE XE 2018 XE-D Q17: Mechanics of deformable bodies

A circular steel bar of diameter 10 mm is bent into the shape as shown in figure, and lies in

plane. A horizontal force

is applied along the positive

-direction as shown. The yield strength of the steel is 200 MPa. Neglecting the effect of transverse shear, the load

(in Newton) required to initiate yielding as per maximum shear stress theory of failure is………. [up to two decimal places]
