SECTION-A
Q1. Attempt any three questions. 3x5=15
a. Define Resilience, Proof Resilience & Modulus of Resilience. Give expression for Stress due to
gradually applied load & suddenly applied load.
b. Explain the classification of Columns.
c. Derive the Torsion Equation =
d. List the assumptions made in theory of simple bending.
e. State the theorem of perpendicular axis and parallel axis.
