C A steel tube having outside and inside diameters of 16


10 cm and 6 cm respectively is bent into the form
of a quadrant of 2 m radius. One end is rigidly
attached to a horizontal base plate to which a
tangent to that end is perpendicular, and the free
end supports a load of 1000 N. Determine the
vertical and horizontal deflections of the free end
under this load. the dimensions of the cross section
may be considered as small relative to the radius of
curvature. Take E = 2 x 105 N/mm2

usage.

Q5 A Explain briefly about stiffening girders and its uses. 4


B A suspension bridge cable hangs between two 16
points A and B separated horizontally by 120 m and
with B 20 m above A. The lowest point in the cable
is 4 m below A. The cable supports a stiffening
girder weighing ⅓ kN/m run which is hinged
vertically below A, B and the lowest point of the
cable. Calculate the maximum tension which
occurs in the cable when a load of 10 kN crosses
the girder A and B.
