Preliminary Examination

Problem 1.0
The 175 lb. lamp is supported by two rods AB and BC as shown in figure. If AB is
made up of AISI C1030 as rolled and BC is made up of AISI C1015 annealed, determine
the required diameter of each rod.

Problem 2.0
A motor delivers 150 kW to a steel shaft, which is tubular and has an outer
diameter of 40 mm. If it is rotating at 150 rad/s, determine its largest inner diameter if
the allowable shear stress for the material is 145 MPa.

Problem 3.0
A rectangular bar, 20 in. long is made of SAE 1035 as rolled. A compressive load
of 30 kips has been applied on its ends both fixed. For a factor of safety of 3, determine
the cross sectional dimensions of the bar necessary.

Problem 4.0
Determine the maximum load P that can be applied to the beam that is made
from AISI 3115 DOQT 300 0F. Design based on [A] ultimate strength and [B] yield
strength.
