The bucking of a beam is found to be more if

A

the breadth of the beam is large

B

the beam material has large value of Young's modulus

C

the length of the beam is small

D

the depth of the beam is small

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The bending (buckling) of a beam is given by
`delta = (wl^(3))/(4bd^(3) Y)`. Thus `delta prop (1)/(d^(3))`.
`:.` If the depth d is small, buckling of beam is more.

A parallel beam of light falls normally on the first face of a prism of small angle .At the second face it is partly reflected,the reflected beam striking at the first face again, and emerging from it in a direction making an angle 6^(@) 30' with the reversed direction of the incident beam. The refracted beam is found to have undergone a deviation of 1^@ 15' from the original direction.Find the refractive index of the glass and the angle of the prism.

A beam of weight W supports a block of weight W . The length of the beam is I . and weight is at a distance L/4 from the left end of the beam. The beam rests on two rigid supports at its ends. Find the reactions of the supports.

Statement I: A beam of white light enters the curved surface of a semicircular piece of glass along the normal. The imcoming beam is moved clockwise (so that the angle theta increases), such that the beam always enters along th enormal to the curved side. Just before the refracted beam disappears, it becomes predominantly red. Statement II: The index of refraction for light at the red end of the visible spectrum is more than at the violet end.

When a beam of light is incident on a plane mirror, it is found that a real image is formed. The incident beam must be
