Question

With temperature effect which will vary linearly?

(a) Horizontal stress load

(b) Potential energy

(c) Vertical stress load

(d) Kinematic energy

This question was posed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.

The origin of the question is One Dimensional Problems topic in section One Dimensional Problems of Finite Element Method

Answer 1

The correct option is (c) Vertical stress load

The explanation: Temperature is a variant which varies from one point to another point. It has adverse effects on different structures. By temperature effect Vertical stress load vary linearly.
