Q. 1 A jib crane is shown in figure below. If the
hoist and load weigh (200+R) lb, determine
the resultant internal loadings in the crane on
cross sections through points A, B, and C.
Neglect the weight of crane.
Q. 3 is deformed as shown in the figure (note that 10
the deformation is greatly exaggerated).
Calculate the normal strains ε x and ε y , and
the shear strain γ for the element.

Q. 4 Determine the elongation of the square 10

Q. 2 The lap joint is connected by three 20-mm-
diameter rivets. Assuming that the axial load
P = (20+R) kN is distributed equally among
the three rivets, find (a) the shear stress in a
rivet; (b) the bearing stress between a plate
and a rivet; and (c) the maximum average
tensile stress in each plate.
hollow bar when it is subjected to the axial
force P = 50+(R/2) kN. If this axial force is
increased to P = 300+(R/2) kN and released,
find the permanent elongation of the bar. The
bar is made of a metal alloy having a stress-
strain diagram which can be approximated as
shown.
