2 (b) Two round bars are each 500 mm long as shown in fig.1 Bar A is subjected to a sudden axial load such that it produces a maximum stress of 300 N/mm2. What is the maximum stress produced in the bar B by same sudden load? When the bar B is also subjected to 300 N/mm2 maximum stress, determine the ratio of energy stored by bars B to A.
