ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS

Q1 Cross section of T shape beam being simply supported at the end of the beam as shown in
Figure Q1 carry uniform distributed load of 45kN/m at A to C. Determine:

(i) The neutral axis from the bottom surface of the beam (6 Marks)
(ii) The second moment of area (I) (7 Marks)
(iii) The maximum bending stress of the beam (10 Marks)

Q2 (a) The A-36 steel axle is made from tubes AB and CD and a solid section BC as shown in
Figure Q2(a). It is supported on smooth bearings that allow it to rotate freely. If the ends
are subjected to 85Nm torques, determine the angle of twist of the end A relative to end D.
The tubes have an outer diameter of 30 mm and an inner diameter of 20 mm. The solid
section has a diameter of 40 mm and G=75 GPa.

(7 marks)
Q2 (b) Two 80 mm diameter solid circular steel (G=80 GPa ) and bronze (G= 45 GPa) shafts are
rigidly connected and supported as shown in Figure Q2(b). Determine :
(i) The maximum shearing stress in the steel segment
(ii) The maximum shearing stress in the bronze segment
(iii) The rotation of a section at B with respect to its no load position
(18 marks)
