S. No. Question
1 Find the moment of 100 N force acting at B about point A as shown in Figure
2 Calculate the specific gravity of one litre of a liquid that weighs 7N.
3 Differentiate between the absolute, gauge, and vacuum pressure. A manometer,
shown in the figure, is used to measure the pressure of a gas in a tank. The fluid
used has a specific gravity of 0.85, and the manometer column height is 55 cm. If
the local atmospheric pressure is 96 kPa, determine the absolute pressure within
the tank.
4. A system of four forces acting on a body is as shown in the figure. Determine the
resultant.
5. At an axial load of 22 kN, a 45-mm-wide by 15-mm thick polyimide polymer bar
elongates 3.0 mm while the bar width contracts 0.25 mm. The bar is 200 mm long.
At the 22-kN load, the stress in the polymer bar is less than its proportional limit.
Determine
1. The modulus of elasticity.
2. Poisson’s ratio.
3. The change in the bar thickness
6. The small piston of a hydraulic lift has an area of 0.20 m2. A car weighing 1.2 x
104 N sits on a rack mounted on a large piston. The large piston has an area of
0.90 m2. How large force must be applied to the small piston to support the car?
