CAT 1

WORK, POWER & ENERGY

1 (a) Water from a tank of capacity 18,000 litres it to be lifted in 20 minutes by a pump through
a height of 12 m. If the efficiency of the pump is 65%, DETERMINE the power of the
pump. [5 Marks]
(b) A body of mass 5 kg is hauled vertically upwards with a velocity of 9.8 m/s.
CALCULATE its kinetic energy in the following instances:
(i) At the moment of propulsion;
(ii) After a half of a second; and
(iii) After one second. Take g = 9.81 m/s2. [5 Marks]

TRUSSES & BEAMS (Shear Force Diagrams & Moment Diagrams)

2 (a) Using the method of joints, ANALYZE the truss shown in Figure 2(a) below. [14 Marks]

Figure 2(a)
(b) DRAW the bending moment and shear force diagram for the beam loaded as shown in
Figure 2(b) Mark the values at the salient points. Also DETERMINE the point of
contraflexure. [11 Marks]
