A solid circular beam with radius of 0.25 m and length of 2 m is subjected to a twisting moment of 20 kNm about the z-axis at the free end, which is the only load acting as shown in the figure. The shear stress component $\style{font-family:'Times New Roman'}{\tau_{xy}}$ at Point ‘M’ in the cross-section of the beam at a distance of 1 m from the fixed end is

A cantilever beam of length 2 m with a square section of side length 0.1 m is loaded vertically at the free end. The vertical displacement at the free end is 5 mm. The beam is made of steel with Young’s modulus of 2.0×1011 N/m2. The maximum bending stress at the fixed end of the cantilever is

For the stress state (in MPa) shown in the figure, the major principal stress is 10 MPa.
