What is buckling? What should be the shape of a rod for preventing buckling?
(N/A) Buckling is a phenomenon where a structural member,such as a rod or column,undergoes a sudden change in shape (usually bending or bowing) when subjected to a high compressive load,even if the material has not reached its yield strength.
To prevent buckling,the rod should be designed to have a high moment of inertia. This is achieved by increasing the cross-sectional area away from the neutral axis. Therefore,a hollow rod or a rod with an $I$-shaped cross-section is more effective at preventing buckling than a solid circular rod of the same mass.

An elevator cable can have a maximum stress of $7 \times 10^7\,N/m^2$ for appropriate safety factors. Its maximum upward acceleration is $1.5\,m/s^2$. If the cable has to support the total weight of $2000\,kg$ of a loaded elevator,the minimum area of cross-section of the cable should be ....... $cm^2$ $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$.

View Solution$A$ metal rod of cross-sectional area $10^{-4} \, m^{2}$ is hanging in a chamber kept at $20^{\circ} C$ with a weight attached to its free end. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the rod is $2.5 \times 10^{-6} \, K^{-1}$ and its Young's modulus is $4 \times 10^{12} \, N/m^{2}$. When the temperature of the chamber is lowered to $T$,a weight of $5000 \, N$ needs to be attached to the rod so that its length remains unchanged. Then,$T$ is ............ $^{\circ} C$.
