a)
A tensile load of 40kN is acting on a rod of diameter 40mm and of length 4m. A
16
bore of diameter 20mm is made centrally on the rod. To what length the rod should
be bored so that the total extension will increase 30% under the same tensile load.

A steel tube of 30mm external diameter and 20mm internal diameter encloses a
copper rod of 15mm diameter to which it is rigidly joined at each end. If, at a
16
temperature of 10C there is no longitudinal stress, calculate the stresses in the rod
and tube when the temperature is raised to 200C. Take E for steel and copper as 2.1
x105 N/mm2and 1x 105 N/mm2 respectively. The value of co-efficient of linear
expansion for steel and copper is given as 11 x 10 -6 per C and 18 x 10-6 per C
respectively.

A square beam 20mm x 20mm in section and 2m long is supported at the ends. The
beam fails when a point load of 400N is applied at the centre of the beam. What
16
uniformly distributed load per length will break a cantilever of the same material

a) A hollow shaft is 1m long and has external diameter 50mm. It has 20mm internal
16
diameter for a part of the length and 30mm internal diameter for the rest of the
length. If the maximum shear stress in it is not to exceed 80 N/mm 2, determine the
maximum power transmitted by it at a speed of 300 r.p.m. If the twists produced in
the two portions of the shafts are equal, find the lengths of the two portions
OR
The stiffness of a close coiled helical spring is 1.5 N/mm of compression under a
maximum load of 60N. The maximum shearing stress produced in the wre of the
16
spring is 125N/mm2. The solid length of the spring (when the coils are touching) is
given as 5cm. find :(i) diameter of wire, (ii) mean diameter of the coils and (iii)
number of coils required, Take C = 4.5 x 104 N/mm2

At a certain point in a material under stress the intensity of the resultant stress on a
vertical plane is 1000N/cm2 inclined at 30 to the normal to that plane and the stress
on a horizontal plane has a normal tensile component of intensity 600 N/cm 2 as
shown in figure. Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant stress on the
horizontal plane and the principal stresses.
