PART B

(3 x 10 = 30 MARKS)

ANSWER ANY THREE QUESTIONS

1. Two beams AB and DE are hinge supported at A and D, while roller supported at
C and E. Find components of support reactions.

2. Find the second moment of inertia of the shaded portion shown in the figure
about its centroidal axis.

3. A steel forging consist of a 0.15x0.05x0.05m rectangular prism and two cylinders

of diameter 0.05m and length 0.076m as shown. Determine the mass moments of
inertia of the forging with respect to the coordinate axes knowing that the
specific weight of steel is 10000 N/m3.

4. Locate the centroid of the I-Section shown in figure.
