XE-DNAT2 marksNeeds review
A stepped beam is made of a material whose Young’s modulus is E. The dimensions of the two stepped sections are such that the sectional moments of inertia,
and
, are related as
. The beam is fixed at one end and a load of F is applied at the free end as shown in the figure. Under this loading condition, if the strain energy of the stepped beam is written as
, then the value of
is ______ (rounded off to two decimal places).
