Flow Chart
1) Draw flow chart for each of the following. Determine the;
a) magnitude of the resultant of four concurrent forces.
b) moment of inertia of a U cross section about the centroidal x-axis.
c) hydraulic radius of a trapezoidal cross section.
d) perimeter of a quadrilateral.
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
2) A simply supported beam carries two point loads. Draw flow chart to determine the,
a) location of the maximum bending moment.
b) bending moment at a point specified by the user.
3) The current calendar, called the Gregorian calendar, was introduced in 1582. Every year divisible by 4 was
declared to be a leap year, with the exception of the year ending with 00 (divisible by 100) and not divisible by
400. For instance, the years 1600 and 2000 are leap years, but 1700, 1800 and 1900 are not. Request a year as
input and states whether or not it is a leap year.
Note: Reject input which is less than 1582.
4) Determine average compressive strength of concrete cubes (say the number of cube is n), but excluding the
strength of the strongest and the weakest cubes.
5) Draw flow chart to determine how many times a ball bounces when dropped from its initial height before it
rises to a height of less than 10 cm and the total distance traveled by the ball before this point.
The coefficient of restitution (r) of a ball specifies how much energy is conserved when a ball hits a rigid
surface. A coefficient of 0.7, means a bouncing ball will rise to 70 % of its previous height after each bounce.
Note: Initial height must be greater than 10 and 0 < r < 1.
6) Determine the minimum number of plank layers of a glue laminated beam to satisfy the specified required
moment of inertia. The width and the thickness of the plank are also to be specified by the user. The overall
depth of the beam must not be greater than 50 cm; if this condition is not fulfilled, increase the width of the
plank.
