13. A uniform ladder of weight 800 N and of length 7 m rests on a horizontal ground and leans
against a smooth vertical wall. The angle made by the ladder with the horizontal is 60?.
When a man of weight 600 N stands on the ladder at a distance 4 m from the top of the
ladder, the ladder is at the point of sliding? Determine the coefficient of friction between
the ladder and the floor.
14. Find the radius of gyration of a triangle whose base is 40mm and height is 60mm about an
axis passing through C.G. and parallel to base (Fig.2).

15. A dynamics instructor demonstrates gyroscopic principles to his students. He suspends a
rapidly spinning wheel with a string attached to one end of its horizontal axle. Describe the
precession motion of the wheel.
SECTION-C
16. a. Distinguish kinematics & kinetics.
b. Drive expression of the angular momentum of a system of point.
17. A beam ABCDEF of 7.5 m long and span 4.5 m is supported at B and E. The beam is
loaded as shown in Fig.3. Find the support reactions at the two supports.

18. A solid steel shaft transmits 200 kW at 300 rpm. Determine the suitable diameter of the
shaft if the maximum torque transmitted exceeds the mean 15% in each revolution. The
shear stress is not to exceed 60 MPa. Also find the maximum angle of twist in a length of
4 m of the shaft. G = 80 GPa.
NOTE : Disclosure of Identity by writing Mobile No. or Making of passing request on any
