1. The stiffness of a close-coiled helical spring is such that it deflects 36 mm when an axial force of
10 N is applied on the end hook. Calculate the mass to be hung on them so that, when set
vibrating, it will make one complete oscillation per second. The mass of the spring is 0.6 kg and the
effect of this when vibrating is to be taken as equivalent to a mass on the end hook equal to
one-third of the mass of the spring. Calculate also the maximum velocity and maximum
acceleration of the vibrating mass when initially displaced 12 mm from the equilibrium
2. A beam 20 meters long is simply supported 2.5 meters from each end. It carries a concentrated
load of 20 kN at each extreme end and also a uniformly distributed load over the entire length of 4
kN per meter run. Sketch the shearing force and bending moment diagrams. Calculate
i) the bending moment at midspan,
ii) the bending moment at each support, and iii the position along the beam where there is no
bending moment.
3. A beam 8 meters long is simply supported at each end and carries a uniformly distributed load
including the weight of the beam of 30 kN per meter length. Draw the shearing force and bending
moment diagrams.
4. A solid round steel shaft is 76 mm in diameter and rests in short bearings at each end which is 1.27
m apart. Treating it as a simply supported beam and taking the weight of the shaft into
consideration, find the maximum concentrated load it can carry at the center of length to limit the
bending stress to 13.8 MN/m2. Density of steel = 7.86 g/cm3
5. A beam of uniform rectangular section is 50 mm broad by 75 mm deep and 4.2 m long. It is simply
supported at 0.6 m from each end and carries a concentrated load of 2-5 kN at each extreme end.
Neglecting the weight of the beam, calculate the radius of curvature between the supports and the
deflection at mid-span, taking the modulus of elasticity of the material as 200 GN/m2.
6. A short solid bar 125 mm in diameter supports an axial compressive load of 275 kN, the line of
action of this load being 12 mm from the center of the bar. Calculate the maximum and minimum
stresses in the bar.'
7. A solid steel shaft 350 mm in diameter has a brass liner shrunk on it over its entire length, the
thickness of the liner is 25 mm. Taking G for steel as 85 GN/m2 and G for brass as 38.5 GN/m2,
calculate the maximum shear stresses in the shaft and the liner when the total torque transmitted
between them is 200 kN m.
8. A close-coiled helical spring consists of 24 coils of tubular steel, the mean diameter of the coils is
75 mm, the outside diameter of the tube is 12.5 mm and its thickness is 2.5 mm. If the stress in the
material is not to exceed 70 N/mm2 find the maximum axial load the spring can carry and the
deflection under this load. Take G= 90 kN/mm2
