Question 1 (4 point) [CLO1:50% , CLO 5:50%]

The assembly shown in Fig.1 below, is used to support the distributed load of w=10 kN/m. Determine
the factor of safety with respect to yielding of the steel rod BC and the pins at A and B if the yield

stress for the steel in tension is σy = 250 MPa and in shear τy= 125 MPa.

The rod has a diameter of 13 mm and the pins each have a diameter of 10 mm. Assume all pins are
subjected to double shear.

Question 2 (4 points) [CLO2: 50%, CLO5: 50%]

The solid steel shaft DF has a diameter of 25 mm and is supported by smooth bearings at D and E. It
is coupled to a motor at F, which delivers 12 kW of power to the shaft while it is turning at 50 rev/s.
If the gears A, B and C remove 3 kW, 4 kW and 5 kW respectively. Determine the maximum shear

stress (τmax) in the shaft within regions CF and BC. The shaft shown below in Fig.2 is free to turn

in its support bearings D and E.

Question 3 (4 points) [CLO3:100%]

The solid rod is subjected to the loading shown in below Fig. 3.

Determine the state of stress at point C, and show the results on the differential element located at this
point.

[Hint: For half circle, y = 4r/3π]

Question 4 (4 points) [CLO4:100 %]

The beam has a rectangular cross section and is subjected to the loading shown in Fig 4. Determine
the principal stresses at point B which is located just to the left of the 20- kN load. Specify or sketch
the results on an element located at this point.

[Important relationships are also given on Page # 7]

Question 5 (4 points) [CLO4:80 %, CLO5:20 %]

The state of the stress at a point is shown on the element in Fig.5. Determine the following:

(a) The principal stresses, and the corresponding orientation of the element.

(b) The maximum in-plane shear stress and the associated average normal stress at the point. Show
the corresponding orientation of the element.
