Two equal and opposite forces, each of magnitude \(F,\) are applied along a rod of transverse sectional area \(A.\) The normal stress on a section \(PQ\) inclined at an angle \(\theta\) to the transverse section is given by:
1. \(\dfrac{F}{A} \mathrm{sin \theta}\) 2. \(\dfrac{F}{A} \mathrm{cos \theta}\)
3. \(\dfrac{F}{2A} \mathrm{sin2 \theta}\) 4. \(\dfrac{F}{A} \mathrm{cos^2 \theta}\)

One end of uniform wire of length \(L\) and of weight \(W\) is attached rigidly to a point in a roof and a weight \(W_1\) is suspended from the lower end. If \(A\) is area of cross-section of the wire, the stress in the wire at a height \(3L \over 4\) from its lower end is:
1. \(W_1 \over A\)
2. \(\frac{\left(W_1+\frac{W}{4}\right)}{A} \)
3. \(\left(W_1+ {3W \over 4}\right) \over A\)
4. \(W_1 + W \over A\)

Consider a uniform beam \(\text{AB},\) which is being pulled by a horizontal force \(F\) applied at the end \(\text A,\) so that it is accelerated uniformly. The cross-section of the beam is \(A.\) Let the stress at the ends \(\text A,\text B\) be \(S_\text A,S_\text B\) and that at the centre \(\text C\) be \(S_\text C.\) Then:
1. \(S_\text A=\text{zero},S_\text B=\text{maximum,}\) \(S_\text C=\text{intermediate}\)
2. \(S_\text A=\text{maximum, }S_\text B=0,\) \(S_\text C=\text{intermediate}\)
3. \(S_\text A=S_\text B=\text{maximum},\) \(S_\text C=\text{zero}\)
4. \(S_\text A=S_\text B=S_\text C=\text{constant throughout}\)
