1500 N/m to 4500 N/m from end A to end B. Span AB = 6 m. Determine the
support reactions.
2. Define instantaneous centre of zero velocity? State the properties of instantaneous centre.

A bar of 6 m length with negligible weight rest in a horizontal position on the
smooth planes as shown in figure. Determine the load P and reactions at supports.

A roller having radius of 50mm rolls, without any slipping, between two horizontal belts moving in
opposite directions with velocities of l2m/sec and 18m/sec. Determine the velocity at the centre of the
roller.
A ball moving at l0m/sec. strikes another identical ball moving at 8m/sec such that,
at the instant of impact, their velocities are inclined at 30 and 45 respectively to
the line joining their centres. Find their velocities after impact, if the impact is
perfectly elastic.
A ball is dropped from a height of 2m on to a horizontal floor. Derive an expression for the total distance
described by the ball before it finishes rebounding, in terms of the coefficient of restitution between the
ball and the ground. (10marks)
