@Situ Gupta.

Yes, the answer is right, everything should be in mm 0.0227.

No answer B is correct because E will in kg/cm2 so every dimension will be in cm.

Murali said:   8 years ago
Option A is correct.

Dhanu said:   8 years ago
E will in kg/mm2 then only answer will be correct.

Can someone calculate the area in simple term?

Paul said:   8 years ago
Yes, it is 2.27 mm.

dia=2cm, A=3.1416cm^2,
P=3000kg, L=5m=500cm, (E=2.1*10^6 Kg/cm^2)

Now, (PL/AE)={(3000*500)/(3.1416*2.1*10^6)} {(kg*cm)/(cm^2*(kg/cm^2))}

PL/AE= {(15*10^5)/(3.1416*21*10^5)} (cm)
PL/AE=0.22736cm =2.274~ 2.275mm.
So, answer is 2.275mm.
