06. (a) A rod of 2 m length and 40 mm diameter is subjected to a pull (10)
of 30 kN. The extension in length is 0.3 mm and the decreases
in diameter is 0.0018 mm. Find the three moduli and Poisson's
ratio.
[OR]

(b) A closed coiled helical spring is to have a stiffness of 900 N/m in (10)
compression with a maximum load of 45N and maximum shearing
stress of 120 N/ mm2 .The solid length of the spring (i.e., coils are
touching)is 45 mm. Find the diameter of wire, mean diameter of
coil and the number of coils. C=40 kN/ mm2

10 mm wall thickness is subjected to an internal pressure of 1
N/mm2. Determine change in diameter, change in length and
change in volume. Take Poisson's ratio=0.3 and E=200 KN/ mm2.
[OR]
(b) Find the thickness of metal necessary for thick cylindrical (10)
shell of internal diameter 200mm to withstand an internal
pressure of 50 N/ mm2. The hoop stress in the section is not to
exceed 150 N/ mm2.
08. (a) A solid steel bar 500 mm long and 70 mm diameter is placed (10)
inside an aluminium tube having 75 mm inside diameter and 100
mm outside diameter. The aluminium cylinder is 0.15 mm longer
than the steel bar. An axial load of 600 kN is applied to the bar
and the cylinder through rigid cover plates. Find the stresses
developed in the steel bar and aluminium tube. Take Young's
modulus as 2.2x 105 N/mm2 and O.7x 105 N/ mm2for steel and
aluminium respectively.

in volume (ii) longitudinal axial load acting alone to produce
the same longitudinal strain as in case .
