Q.1. A) How will you add two forces? Explain the Parallelogram Law and Law
of Triangle of forces. (6)
B) Two ropes are tied together at C. If the maximum permissible tension in each
rope is 3.5 kN, what is the maximum force P that can be applied and in
what direction as shown in figure 1. (6)
Q.2. A) What are various types of supports and support reactions? Explain with
its free body diagram. (4)
B) Using the method of joints, find the axial forces in all the members of a
truss with the loading shown in the Figure 2. (8)

Figure 2
Q.3. A) Locate the centroid of the shaded area obtained by removing a semicircle
of diameter a from a quadrant of a circle of radius a as shown in Fig. 3.
(6)
B) A 7 m long ladder rests against a vertical wall, with which it makes an
angle of 45°, and on a floor. If a man, whose weight is one half of that of
the ladder, climbs it, at what distance along the ladder will he be, when
the ladder is about to slip shown in Figure 4? The coefficient of friction
between the ladder and the wall is 1/3 and that between the ladder and
the floor is 1/2. (6)
Q.4. A) A trolley resting on a horizontal plane starts from rest and is moved to
the right with a constant acceleration of 0.18 m/s2 shown in Figure 5.
Determine i) acceleration of the block B connected to the trolley and
ii) velocities of the trolley and the block after a time of 4 seconds and the
distance moved by each of them. (6)
B) A passenger train passes a certain station at 60 km/hr and covers a
distance of 12 km with this speed and then stops at the next station 15 km
from the first with uniform retardation. A local train starting from the
first station covers the same distance in double this time and stops at the
next station. Determine the maximum speed of the local train which
covers a part of the distance with uniform acceleration and the rest with
uniform retardation.
Q.5. A) Explain in detail: D'Alemberts principle and write the equations of
dynamic equilibrium of the particle. (4)
B) Two blocks of masses M1 and M2 are connected by a flexible but
inextensible string as shown in the figure. Assuming the coefficient of
friction between block M1 and horizontal surface to be µ find the
acceleration of the masses and tension in the string as per figure 6.
Assume M1= 10 kg and M2 = 5 kg, µ = 0.25. (8)
Q.6. A) A spring of stiffness 1000 N/m is stretched by 10 cm from the
unreformed position. Find the work of the spring force. Also find the work
required to stretch it by another 10 cm. (6)
B) What do you understand by direct central impact? Also explain the
coefficient of restitution. (6)
