SECTION-B
Q2. Attempt any one question. 1x10=10
i. Find the moment of inertia of T Section having dimensions 100 × 100 × 10 mm about XX axis and
YY axis passing through the C.G. of the section.
ii. A beam 10m long is supported at two points 7m apart having over hangs of 1m and 2m at left

o m
hand respectively. It is loaded with point loads of 4 kN and 2 kN at a distance of 2m and 5m from
the left support and a point load of 2 kN at the extremity of right hand overhang. Draw SFD and
BMD showing important values.

iii. A bar of 20mm in square cross-section is subjected to a tensile load of 15 kN and the measured

p e
extension over a length of 200 mm was found to be 0.20mm. The contraction in the lateral
dimensions was 0.006. Determine Modulus of rigidity.
