4. Which one of the following Mohr’s circles represents the state of pure shear?
5. In the case of bi-axial state of normal stresses, the normal stress on 45° plane is equal to,
6. The state of stress at a point in a two dimensional loading is such that the Mohr’s circle is a
point located at 175 MPa on the positive normal stress axis. The maximum and minimum
principal stresses, respectively, from Mohr’s circle are
7. Consider a two-dimensional state of stress given for an element as shown in the figure given
below:

10. Direct tensile stresses of 120 MPa and 70 MPa act on a body on mutually perpendicular
planes. What is the magnitude of shearing stress that can be applied so that the major principal
stress at the point does not exceed 135 MPa?
11. The minimum principal stress for the stress state shown in the figure is,
12. The state of stress at a point in a loaded member is shown in the figure. The magnitude of
principal stresses and their orientation with respect to positive x axis, are:

14. A spherical steel pressure vessel 400 mm in diameter with a wall thickness of 20 mm, is
coated with a brittle lacquer that cracks when strain exceeds
15.
A steel circular cylindrical pressure vessel stores a fluid under high pressure. A strain gauge
measures the longitudinal strain of the vessel. The ultimate shear stress in the walls of the vessel
is 50 MPa. At what strain should the pressure be reduced? (E= 200GPa, μ = 0.3)
15. A 900 mm diameter thin cylinder contains a fluid at a pressure of 2.5 MPa. If the safe hoop
stress is 100 MPa, find the minimum thickness of the pipe.
16. A thin cylinder, 1 m in diameter is subjected to an internal pressure of 1 MPa. If the thickness
of the cylinder is 10mm, find the maximum shear stress in the cylinder.
17. A water tank, 7000 mm in diameter, is made from steel plates that are 15 mm thick. Find the
maximum height to which the tank may be filled if the circumferential stress is limited to 40

MPa. The specific weight of water is 9800 N/m
