Consider the general assignment model with n workers and m jobs. In this model, what are the sources and destinations? What are the values of the supply amount at each source and the demand amount at each destination? 10. State the condition for Johnsons algorithm to hold for sequencing n jobs through three machines PART-B (2x16=32Marks) 11. (a). A firm manufacturing a single product has three plants I, II and III. They have produced 60, 35 and 40 units respectively during this month. This firm has made a commitment to sell 22 units to customer A, 45 units to customer B, 20 units to customer C, 18 units to customer D and 30 units to customer E.

PART-A

(9x2=18Marks)

Answer any Nine Questions. 1. State Hookes Law 2. What are elastic constants? 3. Define Poissons ratio 4. Distinguish between rigid and deformable bodies 5. State the different types of supports 6. A steel cube of 100 mm side is subjected to a force of 10kN (Tension), 8kN (compression) and 5kN (Tension) along X, Y and Z direction respectively. Determine the change in volume of the block. 7. Define thermal stress. 8. What are the types of beams? 9. Define shear force and bending moment. 10. State the principle of superposition PART-B (2x16=32Marks) 11. (a). A Simply supported beam of length 6m carries a UDL of 20KN/m throughout its length and a point of 30 KN at 2m from the right support. Draw the shear force and bending moment diagram. Also find the position and magnitude of maximum Bending moment (OR) (b). A cantilever of 2m length carries a point load of 20KN at 0.8 m from the fixed end &another point of 5 KN at the free end. In addition, a UDL of 15 KN/m is spread over the entire length of the cantilever. Draw the S.F.D, and B.M.D. 12. A mild steel rod of 20mm diameter and 300mm long is enclosed centrally inside a hollow upper tube of external diameter 30mm and internal diameter of 25 mm. The ends of the tube on rods are brazed together rand the composite bar is subjected to an axial pull of 40KN. If E for steel and copper is 200GN/m2 and 100GN/m2 respectively, find the stresses developed in the rod and the tube. Also find the extension of the rod.
