When a closely-coiled helical spring of mean diameter (D) is subjected to an axial load (W), the deflection of the spring (δ) is given by (where d = Diameter of spring wire, n = No. of turns of the spring and C = Modulus of rigidity for the spring material)
The force acting along the circumference will cause stress in the walls in a direction normal to the longitudinal axis of cylinder? This stress is called
Two solid shafts 'A' and 'B' are made of the same material. The shaft 'A' is of 50 mm diameter and shaft 'B' is of 100 mm diameter. The strength of shaft 'B' is _________ as that of shaft A.
For no tension condition in the base of a short column of circular section, the line of action of the load should be within a circle of diameter equal to __________ of the main circle.
The extension of a circular bar tapering uniformly from diameter d1 at one end to diameter d2 at the other end and subjected to an axial pull of P is _________ the extension of a circular bar of diameter d1d2 subjected to the same load P.
Two closely coiled helical springs 'A' and 'B' are equal in all respects but the number of turns of spring 'A' is half that of spring 'B'. The ratio of deflections in spring 'A' to spring 'B' is
