SBTET- Diploma First Year Unit – I Examinations December-2022

(Engineering Mechanics)
Sub. Code: C-105 Max. Time: 90 minutes
Date: Max. Marks: 40
Set-1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART-A
Instructions: i) Answer all questions
ii) First question carries four marks, and the remaining questions carry three marks
each. (4 + 12 = 16 Marks)
1. Two forces 12 N each act at right angles to each other. Find the magnitude and
direction of a single force that produces the same effect. (CO-2)
2. State the law of parallelogram of forces. (CO-1)
3. Define Composition and Resolution of forces. (CO-1)
4. Define centroid and show the position of centroid for a figure semicircle. (CO-3)
5. Differentiate between centre of gravity and centroid. (CO-3)

PART-B
Instructions: i) Answer all questions carry 8 marks each – 3x8 = 24 Marks
ii) Answer should be comprehensive, and the criterion for the valuation is the
content but not the length of the answer.
6. A wheel has 5 spokes which are equispaced. The forces acting in three consecutive
spokes are 12 kN., 14 kN. and 10 kN. Find the forces acting in the other two spokes
for the wheel to be in equilibrium. (CO2)
7. State Varignon’s principle. An electric light fixture weighing 30 N hangs from a point
‘O’ by means of two strings OA and OB as shown in Figure. Determine the forces in
the strings. (CO-2)

8. Find the centroid of I-section made up of top flange 70×22 mm, web 120×20 mm
and bottom flange 100×18 mm. (CO-3)

PART-A
Instructions: i) Answer all questions
ii) First question carries four marks, and the remaining questions carry three marks
each. (4 + 12 = 16 Marks)
1. The resultant of two given forces is equal to each of the forces. Find the angle
between the forces. (CO-2)
2. State Triangular law of forces. (CO-1)
3. State (a) Varignon’s principle of moments and (b) Characteristics of couple. (CO-2)
4. Define the terms Centre of gravity and Centroid. (CO-3)
5. Locate the position of centroid of the following figures with a neat sketch:
(a) Rectangle, (b) Triangle, (c) Semi circle. (CO-3)

PART-B
Instructions: i) Answer all questions carry 8 marks each – 3x8 = 24 Marks
ii) Answer should be comprehensive, and the criterion for the valuation is the
content but not the length of the answer.
6. Find the magnitude and direction of resultant force for the following forces acting at a
point a) 30 kN due North-East
b) 40 kN at 600 East of South
c) 60 kN at 600 South of West
d) 20 kN at 600 West of North. (CO-2)
7. State Parallelogram Law of forces. Three forces acting on a particle are in equilibrium.
Angle between first two forces is 90º and that between second and third is 120º. Find
the ratio of the forces. (CO-2)
8. Find the Centroid of the T-Section shown in fig. (CO-3)
