Q.1 (a) A 6 m long fixed ended column of hollow square cross section with 480 07
mm external dimension and 60mm thickness is made up of mild steel.
Using Euler’s formula, find out the safe axial load on this column using
factor of safety 1.5. Take E = 200 GPa.

60 mm is subjected to an axial load of 2.4 kN. Find the maximum
stress if (a) The load is applied gradually. (b) The load is applied
suddenly, and (c) The load is applied after falling through a height
of 8 cm.

Q.2 (a) A cantilever beam having span of 4m is subjected to UDL of 16 07


kN/m over entire span along with a point load of 24 kN at center of
span. Determine slope and deflection at the free end if E = 14 GPa

(b) A shaft is to be designed to transmit 1500 kW power at a speed of 07
180 RPM. The permissible stress in shaft material is limited to 60
MPa. Determine the size of shaft if it is solid in section. Also
calculate the percentage reduction in material consumption if it is
made up of hollow shaft having internal diameter as 0.6 times the
external diameter.

Q.3 (a) A mild steel cantilever beam ABC having span of 1m, is subjected 07
to a set of 2 clockwise couple of 2kNm one at free end C while the
other at mid span point B. The cross section of beam is 40mm wide

base if unit weights of masonry is 20 kN/m3 while that of water is
9.8 kN/m3. Also calculate the stress when reservoir is empty.
Q.4 (b) A mild steel column having cross section as I section with flanges 07
