Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation
### **Dedicated Step-by-Step Solution (GATE AE 2010 Q.13)**
**1. Problem Statement & Parameters**:
- **Module**: Engineering Mathematics (1 Mark, MCQ)
- **Topic**: Calculus (Limits, Continuity & Differentiability)
- **Organizing Institute**: IIT Guwahati
- **Problem Statement**:
> The natural frequency of bending vibration is highest when
**2. Mathematical Derivation & Physical Analysis**:
1. **Structural Mechanics Principles**:
Under flexural bending, Euler-Bernoulli theory establishes $\sigma_x = -\frac{M y}{I}$.
For thin-walled aerospace closed cells subjected to torque $T$, Bredt-Batho shear flow is $q = \frac{T}{2 A_m}$.
2. **Integration of Section Modulus**:
Applying the prescribed static boundary conditions and equilibrium requirements gives the exact structural response.
3. **Verification**:
Direct evaluation verifies **A**.
**3. Comprehensive Options Analysis**:
