Question 86
XE-DNAT2 marksNeeds review
A slender uniform elastic rod of length 1 m and of solid circular cross-section of diameter 50 mm is originally straight. It is then loaded by equal and opposite end moments as indicated in the figure. The resulting lateral displacement of the mid-point of the rod is 10 mm (displacements are exaggerated in the figure). The maximum longitudinal strain in the rod is p × 10
, where p is_____(rounded off to one decimal place).
