    ME101 Engineering Mechanics

    Tutorial Sheet 03 (Frames, Machines and Beams)


    Time: 8:00- 8:55 am Date: 23/01/2013
    Note: Each question carries 10 Marks
    Section 1: (To be discussed by the tutor)
    Q. No. 1 For the frame shown in Fig. 1, determine the force supported by the roller at E.

    Fig. 1 Fig. 2
    Q. No. 2 Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the diving board shown in Fig. 2,
    which supports the 80-kg man poised to dive. Specify the bending moment with
    the maximum magnitude.
    Section 2: Tutorial 03
    Q. No. 3 Consider the Fig. 3. Given the values of the load L and dimension R, calculate
    the value of the couple M for which the force in link CH will be zero.

    Fig. 3 Fig. 4
    Q. No. 4 The ramp (Fig. 4) is used as passengers board a small commuter airplane. The
    total mass of the ramp and six passengers is 750 kg with mass center at G.
    Determine the force in the hydraulic cylinder AB and the magnitude of the pin
    reaction at C.
    Q. No. 5 Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the loaded beam shown in Fig. 5. What
    are the values of the shear and moment at the middle of the beam?

    Fig. 5 Fig. 6
    Q. No. 6 The angle strut shown in Fig. 6 is welded to the end C of the I-beam and supports
    the 1.6-kN vertical force. Determine the bending moment at B and the distance
    x to the left of C at which the bending moment is zero. Also construct the moment
    diagram for the beam.

    Section 2: Assignment 03
    Q. No. 7 A horizontal 350-mm-diameter water pipe is supported over a ravine by the cable
    shown in Fig. 7. The pipe and the water within it have a combined mass of 1400
    kg per meter of its length. Calculate the compression C exerted by the cable on
    each support. The angles made by the cable with the horizontal are the same on
    both sides of each support.

    Fig. 7 Fig. 8
    Q. No. 8 Draw the shear and bending-moment diagrams for the beam AB (Fig. 8), and
    determine the maximum absolute values of the shear and bending moment.
    Q. No. 9 A cable weighing 40 newtons per meter of length is suspended from point A and
    passes over the small pulley at B. Determine the mass m of the attached cylinder
    which will produce a sag of 10 m. With the small sag-to-span ratio,
    approximation as a parabolic cable may be used.

    Q. No. 10 Determine the force acting on member ABC at connection A for the loaded space
    frame shown. Each connection may be treated as a ball-and-socket joint.
