b) A cantilever beam with span 3m and cross section 200x300mm is to carry a (8) UDL on the
entire span. If the tensile stress is limited to 3MPa, what is the maximum UDL that can
be applied on the beam?
6 93) Derive the classic bending equation. (9) b) A simply supported rectangular wooden beam of
span 2.5m has cross section (6) 150mmx250mm and carries a central point load of 10014. Find
the shear stressat 50mm below the top edge of the middle cross section.
PARTC
Answer any two full questions, each carries 20 marks.

b) A solid circular shaft is to transmit 75 kW power at 200 rpm. If the shear stress (6) is
not to exceed 50 MPa, find the diameter of shaft. G = 100 GPa.
8 a) A 2m long thin cylindrical shell (both ends closed), internal diameter 90cm and (10)
thickness 12mm, is subjected to internal pressure 2N/mm?. Find 1) hoop and longitudinal
stresses, 2) changes in diameter and length shell. Take E = 2x10° N/mm? and Poisson’s ratio =
0.3.
b) Derive an expression for Euler’s buckling load for a column fixed at both ends.

9 a) Using moment-area method, find the deflection and slope at the free end of a (10) cantilever
applied with a couple at the free end.
b) Find the buckling load given by Rankine’s formula for a tubular strut hinged at
(10)
both ends, 6 m long having outer diameter 15 cm and thickness 2 cm. Given, E =
2x 10°N/mm?, ടേ 5671/1022 and Rankine’s constant, a= 1/1600. For what length
of the column does the Euler’s formula cease to apply? ****
