Online exercises

This is not online excersise on insta, fb or tik tok..

This is just simple exercise to make you understand the concepts of:-

a) Stress

b) Strain

c) Relation between stress strains

Please don’t stress, STRESS is just a syllabus… once u understand the concept…the higher tendency to
excel

Hopefully all of you able to answer the questions!!

STRESS

1. The chandelier is suspended from the wall and ceiling using rods AB and BC which have diameter of 3
mm and 4 mm respectively. The average normal stress in both rods is not allow to exceed 150 MPa,
