PART-B
2 a) Show that in a strained material subjected to the two- dimensional stress, the sum of
the normal components of the stresses on any two mutually perpendicular planes is
constant.
b) Write short note on Mohr’s Circle of stress.
3 a) When a circular shaft is subjected to torsion, show that the shear stress varies linearly
from the axis to the surface?
b) In torsion, a hollow circular shaft is preferred to a solid circular shaft. Justify the
statement.
4 a) Explain the assumptions made in the Euler’s column theory. How far are the
assumptions valid in practice?
b) Define the slenderness ratio. State the limitations of the Euler’s formula.
5 Prove that an eccentric load causes a direct stress as well as bending stress.

6 a) A cantilever of length 1m carries a point load of 2000 N at the free-end. The cross-
section of the cantilever is an unequal angle of dimensions 100mm by 60 mm and
10mm thick. The small leg of the angle (i.e., 60 mm) is horizontal. The load passes
through the centroid of the cross-section. Determine:
(i)Position of neutral axis and
(ii) The magnitude of maximum stress up, at the fixed section of the cantilever.
b) How will you find the resultant stress in unsymmetrical bending?
