1. A specimen of diameter 13 mm and gauge length 50 mm was tested under tension. At 20 kN

load, the extension was observed to be 0.0315 mm. Yielding occurred at a load of 35 kN and
the ultimate load was 60 KN. The final gauge length at fracture was 70 mm. Calculate young’s
modulus, yield stress, ultimate strength and percentage elongation.

2. A simply supported beam of length 10m, carries the uniformly distributed load and two-point
loads as shown in Fig. (2) Draw the S.F and B.M diagram for the beam and also calculate the
Maximum bending moment.

3. A steel rod and two copper rods together support a load of 370 kN as shown in fig. The cross-
sectional area of steel road is 2500 mm2 and of each copper road is 1600 mm2. Find the stresses
in the roads. Take E for steel is 2x105 N/mm2 and for copper is 1x105 N/m
