(N/A) The equation for the bending of a beam (or rod) is given by the relation: $M = \frac{Y I_g}{R}$,where $M$ is the bending moment,$Y$ is Young's modulus of the material,$I_g$ is the geometrical moment of inertia of the cross-section about the neutral axis,and $R$ is the radius of curvature of the neutral axis.
The bending moment $M$ is defined as the product of force and distance,so its $SI$ unit is $N \cdot m$ (Newton-meter).
The dimensional formula for the bending moment is $[M^1 L^2 T^{-2}]$.

Two wires $A$ and $B$ of same length,same radius and same Young's modulus are heated to the same range of temperatures. If the coefficient of linear expansion of $A$ is $\frac{3}{2}$ times that of $B$,then the ratio of the thermal stresses produced in the two wires $A$ and $B$ is

$A$ metal bar of length $L$ and area of cross-section $A$ is clamped between two rigid supports. For the material of the rod,its Young's modulus is $Y$ and coefficient of linear expansion is $\alpha$.

In an experiment to determine the Young's modulus,steel wires of five different lengths $(1, 2, 3, 4$ and $5\,m)$ but of same cross-section $(2\,mm^2)$ were taken and curves between extension and load were obtained. The slope $(\text{extension/load})$ of the curves were plotted with the wire length and the following graph is obtained. If the Young's modulus of given steel wires is $x \times 10^{11}\,N/m^2$,then the value of $x$ is

In steel,the Young's modulus and the strain at the breaking point are $2 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$ and $0.15$ respectively. The stress at the breaking point for steel is therefore:
