Answer d is correct. It is /E (not +E).

DEEPAK KANDPAL said:   8 years ago
Yes, it should be C.

Aashish rastogi said:   9 years ago
I think answer c is right.

0.5 * ((stress)2 x volume of the member)/(Young's modulus E).

I think in the answer instead of + sign they should correct it by / (divide) sign.

Abhishek said:   9 years ago
I think it is Option c.

Strain Energy = 1/2 Pδ.

Taking δ = PL/AE.

SE = P^2L/2AE = σ ^2V/2E.
(where σ = P/A).

Please someone explain it.

@Deepak.

Option C is applicable for gradually applied load. Whereas option D is valid for both gradually & suddenly applied load.

Deepak said:   9 years ago
My opinion is option C. Whyn't it should be?
