QI. A solid conical rod of diameter D at base is suspended from top as shown in Fig. Q.1. Find
‘out the deflection at the free end due to the self weight of the cone. The specific gravity of the

Q2, Determine the horizontal and vertical displacements of foad-point B for the two-bar system
shown in Fig. Q. 2. The cross sectional area of each bar (AB and BC) is 300 mm? and the value
of Young's modulus is 200 GPa. Take the value of vertically applied load (P) as 10KN. [10]

Q3. a) What is the state of stress for which the maximum shear stress plane does not have any
normal stress? Prove that the angle between the maximum principal stress plane and maximum
~ (242)
oe shear stress plane is 45°.
Pe b) What is principal stress and principal plane’
given state of stress as shown in Fig.Q3, det
normal and shearing stress for the element shown has been
rotated through 20° clockwise. Also find out the principle
stress and max. shear stress’ and principle plane. Draw the
Mohr's circle diagram for this state of stress.

Compute its shear strain at this new position.
Q5. a) What are differences between distortion energy theory and maximum shear stress theory?
What are the limitations of (a) Maximum principle stress theory and (b) maximum principle
strain theory? (2+)
b) A thin cylinder subjected to internal pressure “P’. If the three principle stresses developed
the cylinder are o4 = (Pr/t), 2 (Pr/21) and o3 = (-P) where o; » 62> 63. The thickness and radius
of the thin cylinder are ‘t’ = $ mm and ‘c’ = 200 mm respectively. If the yield point of the
‘material is 250 MPa, taking a factor of safety of 1.4, determine the maximum internal presser of
the cylinder at which failure will occur according to the following theories of failure. (2)

(b) A 4m long beam AB and 6 m long beam BC are hinged at their ends at B. Beam AB carries
a load of 6 KN at its center and beam BC which is roller supported at E carries uniformly
distributed load of 6 kN/m as shown in Fig. Q 6. Take AD = 2 m, EC = 4 m. Draw the shear
