Find the tension in the string in the displaced position. State and explain the theorems of PAPPUS and GULDINUS. Determine the moment of inertia of a triangle with respect to its base from first principles. ‘A weight ‘W” of 1000N is to be raised by a 2 system of pulleys as shown below. Using the principle of virtual work find the value of the force P which can hold the system in equilibrium. \ ‘A car is moving in a straight line for a short time and its velocity is defined by v = 0.3(9/7 +2) m/s. Determine its acceleration when time ‘1’ is 3 seconds, if it has no initial displacement. Define coefficient of restitution. Describe an expression for the same from first principles. ‘A mortar having muzzle velocity of 215.6 m/s fires for maximum range across a level plain. Neglecting air resistance, calculate the time of flight of the shell. ‘The armature of an electric motor has angular speed of 1800 rpm at the instant which the power is cut off. If it comes to rest in 6 seconds, calculate the angular deceleration assuming it to be constant. PART-B 8 (4x 15 = 60) Two rollers of weights SON and 100N are connected by a flexible string as shown below. The rollers rest on two mutually perpendicular planes. Find the tension in the string and the angle 0 that it makes with the horizontal, when the system is in equilibrium. Take a =30°. OR Three beams AB, BC and CD are hinged at their ends and loaded and supported as shown below. Determine the reactions at the points A, E, F and D. as) leper taoon secon 1.0.)IV. VI VIL. VIN. IX. (a) () (a) ) @ (b) A body is made up of a hemisphere and a cone each of radius *r” as shown below. The hermispherical surface of the body rests on a horizontal plane. What should be the greatest height of the cone so that the combined body of the hemisphere and the cone may stand upright? (10) Determine the product of inertia of a right angle triangle with respect to x and y axes. 6) OR Find the axial forces in the members BC, BG, BF, GC, GF and GE of the <—t er truss supported and loaded as shown io y 8 using the method of joints. | o as) | Find the acceleration of block ‘P” of weight 44.48N, if the coefficient of friction between the block ‘Q’ of weight 53.38N and the horizontal plane on which it slides is 1/3. Neglect inertia of the pulley and | friction on its axle. Water drips from a funnel at the rate of ‘n’ drops per second. Find the distance ‘x’ between any two adjacent drops as a function of time ‘t’ that the trailing drop has been in motion, neglecting air resistance. ©) OR Five men lined up at one end of a floating raf, initially at rest, run in succession with a velocity of 3.05 m/s relative to the raft and dive off at the far end, Neglecting resistance of the water to horizontal motion of the raf, find its velocity after the last man dives. Each man weighs 756N and the raft weighs 4448N, (as) The collar weighing 9N, of a governor as shown below can slide freely on a vertical shaft AB. At what uniform speed about the axis AB will the 4.5N fly balls lift the sliding weight free of its support? Neglect the weights of the bars and friction. (15) OR 6 Derive an expression for equivalent length of compound pendulum from first principles. (Ss) Find the period of small oscillations of the err ‘compound pendulum shown below which consists of a disc of weight *W’ and radius ‘1’ suspended by a slender rod of weight w \ | and length 24 r, i a4 (10)
