City Guilds Model Questions Vol1 2021 Engineering Question 36
Practice objective / multiple choice question 36 from the 2021 City Guilds Model Questions Vol1 Engineering examination.
A steel rod of length 2 m has a circular cross‑section of diameter 25 mm. It carries an axial tensile load of 40 kN whose line of action is eccentric to the centroid by a distance \(e\) (mm), producing a bending moment \(M = P\,e\). The allowable stress for the material is \(250\text{ MPa}\). Find the maximum eccentricity \(e\) (to the nearest 0.1 mm) such that the combined stress \(\sigma = \frac{P}{A} + \frac{M c}{I}\) does not exceed the allowable value.
