If p1 is the vertical intensity of pressure at a depth h on a block of earth weighing w per unit volume and the angle of repose φ, the lateral intensity of pressure p2 is w (1 - cos φ)/h (1 + sin φ) wh (1 - cos φ)/(1 + sin φ) wh (1 - tan φ)/(1 + tan φ) wh (1 - sin φ)/(1 + sin φ) TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
‘P’ is the pre-stressed force applied to the tendon of a rectangular pre-stressed beam whose area of cross section is ‘A’ and sectional modulus is ‘Z’. The maximum stress ‘f’ in the beam, subjected to a maximum bending moment ‘M’, is f = (A/P) + (M/Z) f = (P/A) + (M/6Z) f = (P/'+ (Z/M) f = (P/A) + (M/Z) TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
