उत्तर १
Mass of the big structure, M = 50,000 kg
Inner radius of the column, r = 30 cm = 0.3 m
Outer radius of the column, R = 60 cm = 0.6 m
Young’s modulus of steel, Y = 2 × 1011 Pa
Total force exerted, F = Mg = 50000 × 9.8 N
Stress = Force exerted on a single column = `(50000 xx 9.8)/4 = 122500 N`
Young’s modulus, Y = Stress/Strain
Strain = `(F/A)/Y`
Where
Area, `A =pi(R^2 - r^2) = pi((0.6)^2 - (0.3)^2)`
`"Strain" = 122500/(pi[(0.6)^2 - (0.3)^2]xx2xx10^11) = 7.22 xx10^(-7)`
Hence, the compressional strain of each column is 7.22 × 10–7.
उत्तर २
Here total mass to be supported, M = 50,000 kg
∴ Total weight of the structure to be supported = Mg
= 50000 x 9.8 N
Since the weight is to be supported by 4 columns
∴Compressional force on each column (F) is given by
`F = "Mg"/4 = (50000xx9.8)/4 N`
Inner radius of columns, `r_1 = 30 cm = 0.3 m`
Outer radius of column, r_2 = 60 cm = 0.6 m
∴ Area of cross- section of each column is given by
`A = pi(r_2^2 - r_1^2)`
`=pi[(0.6)^2 - (0.3)^2] = 0.27 pi m^2`
Young's Modulus, `Y = 2 xx 10^11` Pa
Compressional strain of each column = ?
∴`Y = "Compressional force/area"/"Compressional Strain"`
`= "F/A"/"Compressional Strain"`
or Compressional strain of each column
`= F/(AY)= (50000xx9.8xx7)/(4xx0.27xx22xx2xx10^11)`
`= 0.722 xx 10^(6)`
∴ Compressional strain of all columns is given by
`= 0.722 xx 10^(-6) xx 4 = 2.88 xx 10^(-6)`
`= 2.88 xx 10^(-6)`

In nature, the failure of structural members usually result from large torque because of twisting or bending rather than due to tensile or compressive strains. This process of structural breakdown is called buckling and in cases of tall cylindrical structures like trees, the torque is caused by its own weight bending the structure. Thus the vertical through the centre of gravity does not fall within the base. The elastic torque caused because of this bending about the central axis of the tree is given by `(Ypir^4)/(4R) . Y` is the Young’s modulus, r is the radius of the trunk and R is the radius of curvature of the bent surface along the height of the tree containing the centre of gravity (the neutral surface). Estimate the critical height of a tree for a given radius of the trunk.
