Answer all the following questions

1. Find the forces in all the members of the truss shown in the figure 5 (All forces are in kN).

2. a) Determine the centre of gravity of a semi-circular of radius R

b) Prove that the moment of inertia of a circular section about a horizontal axis (in the plane
𝜋𝐷4
of the circular section) and passing through the C.G. of the section is given by 64

3. a) Find the expression for the efficiency of a screw jack

b) A man wishing to slide a stone block of weight 1000N over a horizontal concrete floor,
ties a rope to the block and pulls it in a direction inclined upward at an angle of 200 to the
horizontal. Calculate the minimum pull necessary to slide the block if the co- efficient of
friction µ = 0.6. Calculate also the pull required if the inclination of the rope with the
horizontal is equal to the angle of friction and prove that this is the least force required to
slide the block

4. a) A body has an initial velocity of 16m/s and an acceleration of 6m/s. determine its speed
after it has moved 120m distance. also calculate the distance the body moves during 10th
second

b) A car accelerates from a velocity of 10m/s to a velocity of 30m/s in a distance of 240m

.calculate the average acceleration and time required?
