411 N mm
511 N mm
611 Nmm
711 N mm

Stress/y = M/I
Stress = 480/Π.
y= 20/2.
I= π*20^4 /64.

Put all values in the above formula and get the value of M= 120000.
Maximum bending moment = PL/4 for the simply supported beam so by this get the value of P= 1200.
Now strain energy due to bending = ∫M^2dx/2EI.
M =(Px/2) put value in strain energy formula.
Limit L/2 to 0 and integrate.
And get the value of U =610.400N-mm.

Strain Energy = workdone = 1/2 * P * deflection.
For P;
(stress/y) = (M/I);
Maximum moment = (PL/4).

For deflection:
(PL^3)/(48EI).
Answer= 611.16 Nmm => option C.

Does anyone know the Formula of bending strain energy? Please explain.

It is impossible to solve, the question is wrong.

I got an answer in 1833, now why it is divided by 3 to get 611.

Please check the question there is data deficiency that I think.

Dilip said:   6 years ago
Explain me the solution.
