SSC SSC JE Mechanical 2025 Mock Test Series (Paper 1 & Paper 2) Strength of Materials Simple Stress and Strain
Two dimensionally equal blocks made of material M1 and M2 are placed on a flat horizontal surface as shown in figure below. Young's modulus of the materials are E1 & E2 resp. A uniform pressure 'p' is applied over the blocks through a thick plate (AB) symmetrically placed over the blocks. For E1 > E2, consider the statements below.
(p) Stress in both blocks are same
(q) Strain in both blocks are same
(r) Plate AB tilts and point B moves downward
