For determining the support reactions at A and B of a three hinged arch, points B and Care joined and produced to intersect the load line at D and a line parallel to the load line through A at D’. Distances AD, DD’ and AD’ when measured were 4 cm, 3 cm and 5 cm respectively. The angle between the reactions at A and B is 30° 45° 90° 60° TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
A rolled steel joist is simply supported at its ends and carries a uniformly distributed load which causes a maximum deflection of 10 mm and slope at the ends of 0.002 radian. The length of the joist will be, 16 m 14 M 15 M 13 M TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
A steel rod of sectional area 250 sq. mm connects two parallel walls 5 m apart. The nuts at the ends were tightened when the rod was heated to 100°C. If steel = 0.000012/C°, Esteel = 0.2 MN/mm², the tensile force developed at a temperature of 50°C, is 120 N/mm² 150 N/mm² 80 N/mm² 100 N/mm 2 TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
