1. A beam of length 6 m is simply supported at one end and 2 m from the other end.
It is subjected to a concentrated load 3 kN at the centre, and a u.d.l. of 3 kN
spread over from 2 m to 4 m from the supported end. Calculate the deection at

the concentrated load. EI = 107Nm2.

2. (a) Explain clearly the di erence between statically determinate and statically
indeterminate structure and how is order of redundancy determined?
(b) A 6 m long beam of I-section is xed at both ends and is subjected to a u.d.l.,

which produces a maximum stress of 100 M Pa in it. Determine the value of


u.d.l. The depth of the beam section is 440 mm and value of I is 4104m4.

3. Figure 3 shows a rolled steel beam of an unsymmetrical I-section. If the maximum


bending stress in the beam section is not to exceed 40 M Pa, nd the moment

which the beam can resist.

4. A metallic tube 5 m long, when subjected to axial tensile load of 50 kN experiences
an extension of 5 mm. The tube is of 40 mm external and 25 mm internal dia.
If the tube is now hinged at its ends and subjected to an axial compressive load,

determine the maximum safe value for such a load. Take factor of safety as 3. [16]
5. The coupling rod of a locomotive 2.5 m long is 4 cm broad and 10 cm deep and
of rectangular section. The maximum direct thrust in the rod is 150 kN applied

6. Prove that the strain energy of a beam is given by M2/(2EI) dx. Strain energy

may also be expressed in the form C. (2/E) x volume, where


is the maximum
stress. Find the value of C for a beam of square section simply supportrd at ends

and carrying a U.D.L.

7. A mass is suspended from a spring system as shown in gure 7 Determine the


natural frequency of the system. Take k1= 5000N/m, k2= k3= 8000 N/m, m =

25 kg.
