yield strength and modulus of elasticity value for steel as 250 MPa and 200
GPa respectively.
Answer: Given: Cross-section, (= b x d) = 600 mm x 100 mm = 0.6 m x 0.1 m = 0.06 m2;
Yield strength = P 250 250 / ; 200 MPa MN m E GPa 2 200 10 / 12 2 N m

Conventional Question GATE-1993
Question: Determine the temperature rise necessary to induce buckling in a lm long
circular rod of diameter 40 mm shown in the Figure below. Assume the rod to
be pinned at its ends and the coefficient of thermal expansion as 20 10 / 6 0 C
. Assume uniform heating of the bar.
Answer: Letusassume the buckling load be'P'.
