QUESTION: 1

According to Euler's column theory, the crippling load of a column is given by p = π2 EI/Cl2 In this equation, the value of C for a column with both ends hinged, is​

Solution:

In the formula l is the critical length. If both the end is fixed l= l/2 if both the end is hanged l= l if one end is fixed and other is hinged l= l/root2 if one end fixed other is free l= 2l Hence, in your question, option c is right.

QUESTION: 2

Solution:

QUESTION: 5

A hollow alloy tube 5m with external and internal diameters equal to 40mm and 25mm respectively was found to extend by 6.4mm under a tensile load of 60kN. When tube is used as column with both ends pinned, find safe compressive load for tube. (FOS = 4)
Solution:

QUESTION: 6

Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of
Solution:

Young's modulus is a measure of the stiffness of an elastic material, and it is defined as the ratio of stress to strain. Rocks with low Young's modulus tend to be ductile and rocks with high Young's modulus tend to be brittle.

QUESTION: 7

Hollow C.I. column whose outside diameter is 200mm has thickness of 20mm. It is 7.5m long and is fixed at both ends. Find the ratio of Euler’s and Rankine’s critical loads. For C.I., σc = 550N/mm2, α = 1/1600, E = 8 × 104 N/mm2
Solution:



QUESTION: 8

Common data for 8 & 9

Beam 8m long fixed at both ends carries a UDL over whole span. Take EI = 9.5 × 109 kNmm. Find load intensity on beam:-
Q. When maximum Bending Moment should not exceed 40 kN-m.
Solution:

QUESTION: 9

Common data for 8 & 9

Beam 8m long fixed at both ends carries a UDL over whole span. Take EI = 9.5 × 109 kNmm. Find load intensity on beam:-
Q. When maximum deflection should not exceed 1/400 of the span.
Solution:

Max deflection =(1/400)×8000 => 20mm. For fixed beam with entire UDL ,Max deflection = wl'4/(384EI)= (20×384× 9.5×10'9)/(8000)'4 => 0.0178 KN /mm => 17.8 KN/m

Solution:

 

QUESTION: 12

A hollow shaft is to transmit 300kW at 80rpm. If shear stress is not to exceed 60 N/mm2 and internal diameter is 0.6 of the external diameter, find external and internal diameters assuming maximum torque is 1.4 times the
mean torque.
Solution:
