SECTION A
A car as shown in the figure below is being towed at a steady speed up
on an inclined plane having an angle of 15° with the horizontal. The car
weighs 1635 kg. Show the free body diagram of the car and calculate the

A steam engine piston of length 80 cm is subjected to a maximum load of
60 KN. If the ends are fixed and the length factor is 0-6, determine the
diameter of the piston by using Rankine’s formula. Take yield stress as
100 MPa and Rankine’s constant as
7500-
A simply supported beam of T-section (flange = 100 mm x 20 mm and
Web = 150 mm x 10 mm) is 2:5 m in length. It carries a load of 3-2 kN
inclined at 20° to the vertical and passing through the centroid of the
section. Determine the maximum tensile stress induced in the section.
What is non-conventional prestressing ? Discuss two important
non-conventional prestressing methods.
A rectangular prestressed beam of cross-section 175 mm x 350 mm has
an effective span of 12 m. The beam is prestressed by using a cable with
zero eccentricity at the supports and linearly varying to 75 mm at the
centre. The cable carries a prestressing force of 600 kN. Find the
magnitude of the concentrated load located at the centre of the span for
the following conditions at a section at the centre of the span :
(i) if the load counteracts the bending effect of prestressing force.
Neglect the self-weight of the beam.
(ii) if the pressure line passes through the upper kern of the section
under the action of the external load, self-weight and prestress.
