$A$ lift is tied with thick iron ropes having mass $M$. The maximum acceleration of the lift is $a \ m/s^2$ and the maximum safe stress is $s \ N/m^2$. The minimum diameter of the rope is $(g = \text{acceleration due to gravity})$

  • A
    $\left[\frac{2 M(g+a)}{\pi s}\right]^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • B
    $\left[\frac{2 M(g-a)}{\pi s}\right]^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • C
    $\left[\frac{4 M(g+a)}{\pi s}\right]^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • D
    $\left[\frac{4 M(g-a)}{\pi s}\right]^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Explain with the illustration of cranes the applications of the elastic behaviour of materials.

The elastic behaviour of a material for linear stress and linear strain is shown in the figure. The energy density for a linear strain of $5 \times 10^{-4}$ is $\dots \; kJ/m^3$. Assume that the material is elastic up to the linear strain of $5 \times 10^{-4}$.

Anvils made of single crystals of diamond,with the shape as shown in the figure,are used to investigate the behavior of materials under very high pressures. The flat faces at the narrow end of the anvil have a diameter of $0.50 \; mm$,and the wide ends are subjected to a compressional force of $50,000 \; N$. What is the pressure at the tip of the anvil?
