2. Stress equals:


Load divided by strain


Strain multiplied by load
#

Load divided by cross sectional area


Cross sectional area multiplied by load

3. Strain equals:
#

Change in length divided by original length


Original length divided by change in length


Change in diameter divided by original diameter


Original diameter divided by change in diameter

4. A test that measures the load over the extension of a test piece is called:


A stress test
#

A tensile test


A strain test


A compression test





6.

Within the elastic limit the material will return to its original dimensions but if this is exceeded:


The diameter will increase


It will only return by half the amount of the extension
#

It will have become plastic and retain its new dimensions


It will become brittle and snap







1. The illustration is a diagrammatic representation of:


A tensile load


Single shear


A compressive load
#

Double shear
5. Point A on the graph shown is known as:


The yield point


The elastic limit A
#

The limit of proportionality


The ultimate stress

7. Maximum load divided by original cross sectional area equals:


Ultimate breaking stress
#

Tensile strength


Point of plastic deformation


Limit of proportionality

8. Hookes law relates to:
#

Elasticity


Plasticity


Ductility


Fatigue

9.

Hookes law states, within the limit of proportionality, stress divided by strain:


Is a variable


Is equal to the reduction in area


Is equal to the ultimate breaking point
#

Is a constant

10. Youngs Modulus of Elasticity (E):
#

Equals stress divided by strain


Equals stress multiplied by strain


Equals strain divided by stress


Equals strain multiplied by stress

11. For mild steel E has a value of:


200,000 MN/mm


200,000 kN/mm


200,000 NM/m
#

200,000 MN/m








13. If a load is suspended at the centre of a simply supported beam the top flange will be:


Subject to tensile stress


Subject to torsional stress
#

Subject to compressive stress


Free of stress

14. The deeper a beam in section:


The more liable it is to bending


The less the load it can carry
#

The greater the load it can carry


It has no effect on the load it can carry



12. The beam shown in the illustration is said to be:


Freely suspended


Simply supported
#

Encastre


Cantilever

#

25MN/m


250MN/m


50MN/m

19. A bolt in tension supports a load of 6 tons and has a csa of .75 ins. What is the stress in the bolt?


4.5 tons/ins


6 tons/ins
#

8 tons/ins


10 tons/ins

20. A sheave pin in double shear is subject to a force of 5kN. If the pin has a cross sectional area of 100mm,
what is the shear stress in the pin?


250N/mm
#

25N/mm


500N/mm
#

50N/mm
