Answer all the component parts of the question in one place. If the answer is wntten in diferent places, if will nat be fully corected. The distribution of marks for each question i$ given in the brackets, ape > Q. (1) Consider 3 propped cantilever beam having a thickness t = 0.1 cm subjected to a uniformly distributed load w= 10 Nicm as shown in Figure. L=10cm Uf Consider the prop at B to be absent. Draw the corresponding shear force and bending moment diagrams. ( Smarks ) (By In tho absence of the prop at B, for a disptacement A given at B, the transverse displacement of the centerline of the beam can be assumed to be given by woof) 3) Using this information, apply the principle of virtual work to evaluate the unknown reactions at B, when the prop is present (Hint: Consider all intemal and external forces in your calculations). (10 marks ) (C) Draw the bending moment and shear force diagram for the propped cantilever, {Smarks )£ (2) A spinning top is shown in the Figure below with am angular velocity of precession (| G 2 imparted. To begin with, the rotating reference trame (x, y, 2), coincides with the inartial reference frame (X. ¥, Z) The final position of the top is determined through the following 3 steps below ; Becmeng (I) Rotate the top about the Z (or 2) axis through an angie © (0< @< 27} (ii) Rotate the top about the x axis through an angle 8 (0 < @< m1 {ii Rotate the top about tha z axis through an angle 4) (0 § y = 27] 10 obtain the ital position Angular velocity of precession (¢ ) about Z-axis, and nutation (+ \ about x-axis and angular velocity of spin (\/ ) is imparted about z-axis.

(3 marks) a Using the simplification performed above, solve the following problem. [3 marks } A motor has weight ( 7) = 50 kN and has radius of gyration of 0.2 m, about the zatis. The shatt of the motor Is supported by bearings at A and @ as shown in Figure below, and Is tuming at a Constant rate Ws = 100 A rad/s, while the trame has an angular velocity of a» = 27 radis. Determine the moment which the bearing forces at 4 and 8 exert on the shaft due to this motion.
