upon by the following forces uniformly distributed over the respective
cross section. 20kN in the direction of length (tensile): 350kN in the
direction of the width (compressive) and 200kN in the direction of
thickness (tensile). Determine the change in volume of the flat. Take
E=140GN/m2, m=4.

b) A steel bar is placed between two copper bars each having same area
and same length as the steel bar at 15C and rigidly connected at ends.
When the temperature rise by 300C, the length of the compound bars
increased by 1.5mm. Determine the original length and final stresses in
each bar. Es=200GPa, Ec=100GPa, S=12x10-6/C, C=17.5x10-6/C.

10kN/m for a distance of 6m from the left end. Also calculate the
maximum Bending moment on the section.

point load of 2kN at right end. One support at left end and another
support at 4m from left end. Locate the point of contraflexure.

about Y-axis. The beam is simply supported on a span of 5m. If the tensile
stress is not exceed 20N/mm2 find the safe uniformly load which the
beam can carry. Find also the maximum compressive stress.

OR

twist is 0.5 per metre length of the shaft and the shear stress is not to be
allowed to exceed 90MN/m2. Find i) Suitable diameter of the shaft. ii)

subjected to an internal pressure of 2MN/m 2. Calculate the change in
length, diameter and volume of the cylinder under that pressure if the
efficiencies of the longitudinal and circumferential joints are 80% and
50% respectively. E=200GN/m2, m=3.5.
15)
a) An element in a stressed material has tensile stress of 500MN/m 2

perpendicular planes and equal shear stresses of 100MN/m 2 on these
planes. Find principal stresses and position of the principal planes. Find
also maximum shearing stress.
OR
b) A slender pin ended aluminium column 1.8m long and circular cross
section is to have an outside diameter of 50mm. Calculate the necessary
internal diameter to prevent failure by buckling if the actual load applied
is 13.6kN and the critical load applied is twice the actual load.
