Two axial members, namely OP and OQ, are pin joined at O as shown in the figure. A force F acts at point P along the positive x direction and a force √3F acts at point Q along the...
Two smooth drums each weighing W and radius, r are connected by a stiff rope of length, h as shown in the figure. Force F is applied using a massless lever (RS) of length, l. The f...
Identify the zero-force member in the truss structure as shown in the figure.
Which among the following options is/are CORRECT unit(s) of stress?
A 2D state of stress at a point in a body is given by \sigma_{xx} = -40 MPa, \sigma_{yy} = 100 MPa and \tau_{xy} = 50 MPa. The radius of the Mohr's circle for the given state of st...
Sum of the principal stresses of a 2D stress state $\begin{bmatrix} 11 & 4 \\ 4 & 5 \end{bmatrix}$ is ________ (in integer).
The force (F) acting on the block, as shown in the figure is 2 N. The stiffness of the spring (k) is 100 N/m. Assume that the block is in static equilibrium and its mass is negligi...
Which one of the following options is the CORRECT absolute value of the bending moment at R in the frame as shown in the figure?
A motorized pulley of diameter 200 mm is used to transfer a block of mass 100 kg from platform 1 to platform 2 using a ramp kept at an inclination of 30° as shown in the figure. Th...
The bending moment diagram for a simply supported beam is piecewise linear as shown in the figure. The bending moment M(x) at x = 0.5 m is 5 Nm. The beam has a rectangular cross-se...
