0° & 180°
180° & 0°
90° & 180°
90° & 0°
25926. The slope of a stress-strain curve in the elastic deformation region is-

80N
none of this
25928. An ideal machine is one whose efficiency is- [BREB-15]
between 60 and 70%
between 70 and 80%
between 80 and 90%
100%
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: The machine whose efficiency is 100% and in which friction is totally absent or Zero, is called as ideal machine. = 100%
25929. If the resultant of a number of forces acting on a body is 0. Then the body will be equilibrium........
Yes
No
25930. The process of finding out the resultant force is called -----of force.
Composition

25932. Which is not a unit of stress? [MES-16]

dynamic friction
limiting friction
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Static friction is the force of friction experienced by a body when it is at rest it is the value of the limiting friction just be fore slipping occurs.
