UNIT-I
1.a) What are different types of stresses? (3m) (7M)
A hollow cylinder 2 m long has an outside diameter of 50 mm and inside diameter of
30 mm. If the cylinder is carrying a load of 25 kN, find the stress in the cylinder. Also

cylinder material is 100 GPa.(4m)

magnitude of the compressive load under which it will decrease its length by 0.2 mm.

if its flexural rigidity is 8 × 1012 N-mm2.
(OR)
4c) A timber beam of rectangular section has a span of 4.8 metres and is simply supported (7M)
at its ends. It is required to carry a total load of 45 kN uniformly distributed over the
whole span. Find the values of the breadth (b) and depth (d) of the beam, if maximum
bending stress is not to exceed 7 MPa and maximum deflection is limited to 9.5 mm.
Take E for timber as 10.5 GPa.

 stresses induced in the boiler plates.
