Model Exam Question Paper

This document appears to be a model examination for the subject Mechanics of Structures - II. It contains 5 questions in Part B worth 16 marks each, and 10 short questions in Part A worth 2 marks each. Part A questions cover topics like drawing bending moment and shear force diagrams, defining key terms, and describing structural concepts. Part B questions involve more in-depth problems, such as deriving the Euler buckling load for a column, analyzing statically indeterminate beams, and calculating stresses and loads in beams.

200mm and has a thickness of 20 mm is 4.5 m long and is fixed at both
ends. Calculate the safe load by Rankine's formula using a factor of
safety of 2.5. Take the crushing strength of material as 550 N/mm2. And
rankines constant as 1 / 1600. Find also the ratio of Eulers to rankine's
load. Take E = 150 Gpa.
