Solve the following problems. Write your answer on the space provided. Provide separate sheet for your solution.

1. Determine the following (a) Vertical Reaction at A (b) Moment at
A (c) Vertical Reaction at E (d) Moment at E (e) Location of the
Maximum Deflection from support at A. Use EI = constant.
4. To reduce interference, a link in a machine is designed so that its
cross-sectional area in the center section is reduced by one-half, as
shown in Fig. (a). The thickness of the link is 50 mm. Given that P =
40 kN, (1) determine the maximum and minimum values of the
normal stress acting on section m-n; and (2) sketch the stress
distribution on section m-n.

5. Determine the largest value of the force P that can be applied to

the wood beam without exceeding the allowable normal stress of 10
MPa.

6. A spherical shell with 70-in. outer diameter and 67-in. inner

2. The force P = 100 kN is applied to the bracket as shown in the
figure. Compute the normal stresses developed at points A and B.
diameter contains helium at a pressure of 1200 psi. Compute the
stress in the shell.
7. A spherical pressure vessel has a 1.5-ft inner radius and 3/16-in.
wall thickness. If the working tensile stress of the material is 6000
psi, determine the maximum allowable internal pressure.

8. The cylindrical portion of the propane tank has an outer diameter

of 12 in. and a wall thickness of 0.125 in. Calculate the longitudinal
and circumferential stresses in the wall of the cylinder when the tank
is pressurized to 200 psi.

8. The state of stress at a point is shown with respect to the xy-axes.

Determine the equivalent state of stress with respect to the x’y’-
3. Calculate the normal stresses at points A and B of the bracket axes. Show the results on a sketch of an element aligned with the
caused by the 30-kN force. x’y’-axes.

shear stress. Show the results on a sketch of an element aligned
with the planes of maximum in-plane shear stress.
