PHXI09:MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SOLIDS

369647 I.
The use of pillars of columns is very common in building and bridges.
II.
A pillar with rounded ends supports less load than that with a distributed shape at ends.
III.
Usually the pillars are madeup of iron structure filled with concrete.
Which of the following statements (s) is/are correct?

1 Only I
2 Both II and III
3 Only III
4 I, II and III
PHXI09:MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SOLIDS

369648 Assertion :
Railway tracks are laid on largesized wooden sleepers.
Reason :
Small sized wooden sleepers are used so that rails exert more pressure on small area.

1 Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
2 Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
3 Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
4 Assertion is incorrect but reason is correct.
PHXI09:MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SOLIDS

369649 Over bridges are constructed with steel but not with aluminium because steel is

1 More elastic than aluminium
2 Less elastic than aluminium
3 More plastic than aluminium
4 Less plastic than aluminium
