18. (a) Compare the strain energy of three bars of equal length and having cross sectional area in the ratio 1:2:4 are all subjected to equal load.
    (b) Define shear ?. Show that shear strain is equivalent to an extension strain plus a compression strain at right angles to each other, each of value ?/2.

NOTE : Disclosure of Identity by writing Mobile No. or Making of passing request on any page of Answer Sheet will lead to UMC against the Student.
