Let's analyze the question from your image: ### Question *A uniform plate containing a riveted hole is subjected to stress as shown. What is maximum stress in plate?* : - Applied = **100 MPa** - Plate has a **hole with diameter 10 mm** ### **Solution** When a plate with a hole is subjected to tensile stress, the maximum stress occurs at the edge of the hole due to **stress concentration**. The stress concentration factor (\(K_t\)) for a central hole in a wide plate is approximately **3**. #### **Maximum Stress Calculation** \[ \text{Maximum Stress} = K_t \times \text{Nominal Stress} \] \[ \text{Maximum Stress} = 3 \times 100\,\text{MPa} = 300\,\text{MPa} \] ### **Correct Answer** **300 MPa** --- **So, mark "300 MPa" as the answer.**
