    Q.5 In the structure shown in Fig. 5, an 8- mm- diameter pin is used at A and 12- mm- diameter (35)
    pins are used at B and D. Knowing that the ultimate shearing stress is 120 MPa at all
    connections and that the ultimate normal stress is 230 MPa in each of the two links joining
    B and D, determine the allowable load P if an overall factor of safety of 2.0 is desired.

    A force P= 3 kN is applied to a rigid bar suspended by three wires, as shown in Fig.6. All (35)
    Q.6
    wires are of equal size and the same material. For each wire, A = 120 mm2, E = 200 GPa
    and L = 4 m. If, initially, there were no slack in the wires, how will the applied load
    distribute between the wires?

    bonded to a 40 mm diameter steel core (Gst = 77 GPa). The shaft is subjected to a 600 N.m
    torque. Determine (i) the maximum shearing stress in the brass jacket, (ii) the maximum
    shearing stress in steel core, (iii) the angle of twist of B relative to A.
