PARTI Answer question no. 1 and any two from the rest. Assume relevant data, if needed and underline them. 1. (a) Show with deduction that the volume of material required for cast iron structure is 45 times that required for mild steel structure of a cantilever of rectangular section for equal loading capacity and stiffness, if the working stresses for cast iron and mild steal are 30 MN/m2 and 90 MN/m2 respectively and modulus of elasticities of cast iron and mild steel are ll05 MN/m2 and 2l05 MN/m2 respectively. (b) An I section cantilever, 'd' mm deep 'b' mm wide consist of two identical flanges of 20 thickness and a web of 10 mm thickness (d-40) mm and mm
