2. An axial pulls of 40 kN is acting on a bar consisting of three sections of length 30 cm, 25 cm
and 20 cm and diameters 2 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm respectively, if E = 2x105 N/mm2 determine
(i) Stress in each section (ii) Total extension of the bar.
3. Derive an expression for the Euler’ crippling load for a long column with one end fixed and
other end free.
4. Drive an expression for shear stress produced in a circular shaft subjected to torsion.
5. A square beam 20mm x 20mm in a section and 2 m long is supported at the ends. The beam
fails when a point load of 400 N is applied at the centre of the beam. What uniformly
distributed load per meter length will break a cantilever of same material 40 mm wide 60mm
deep 3 m long?
6. Two vertical rods one of steel and other of copper are rigidly fixed at the top and 50 cm
apart. Diameters and lengths of each rod are 2 cm and 4 m respectively. A cross bar fixed to
the roads at the lower end carries a load of 5000 N such that the cross bar remains horizontal

even after loading. Find the stress in each rod and the position of the load on the bar. Take E
for steel and copper as 2 x 105 N/mm2 and l x 105 N/mm2.
