SECTION-B
11. Derive relation to find elongation produced in a bar due to its self weight.
12. A simply supported beam of 10 m length carries concentrated loads of 4 kN, 2 kN and 4 kN
at distances 3 m, 5 m and 7 m respectively from the right support. Draw shearing force and
bending moment diagrams.
13. A shaft is used to transmit 37.5 kW at 100 rpm. If the allowable shear stress is 70 MN/m2,
find the diameter of the shaft. The maximum torque transmitted on each revolution exceeds
the mean by 30%.
14. Calculate the safe compressive load on a hollow cast iron column one end rigidly fixed and
other pin jointed, 150 mm outer and 100 mm inner diameter, 10 metres long. Use Euler's
formula with a factor of safety of 5 and take, E = 90 GN/m2.
15. A simply supported beam of length L carries a uniformly distributed load of w per unit
length over the whole span. Using double integration method, find slope and deflection at
mid and end points.
SECTION-C
16. An element in a stressed material has tensile stress of 500 MN/m2 and a compressive stress
of 350 MN/m2 acting on two mutually perpendicular planes and equal shear stresses of
100 MN/m2 on these planes. Find principal stresses and position of principal planes by
using Mohr's circle method. Also find maximum shearing stress.
17. Three beams have the same length, the same allowable stress and the same bending
moment. The cross-sections of the beams are a square, a rectangle with depth twice the
width and a circle. Determine the ratios of weights of the circular and the rectangular
beams with respect to the square beam.
18. Write short notes on :
a) Mohr's circles of stress and its applications.
b) Explain the terms : Modulus of rupture, and torsional rigidity, and write their
significance.
NOTE : Disclosure of Identity by writing Mobile No. or Making of passing request on any
page of Answer Sheet will lead to UMC against the Student.
