    Problem Solving (10pts. each)

    1. A cast-iron column supports an axial compressive load of 250 kN. Determine the
    inside diameter of the column if its outside diameter is 200 mm and the limiting
    compressive stress is 50 MPa.

    2. A 750-mm pulley, loaded as shown, in keyed to


    a shaft of 50-mm diameter. Determine the width
    b of the 75-mm-long key if the allowable
    shearing stress is 70 MPa.

    3. A cylindrical pressure vessel is fabricated from steel plates which have a


    thickness of 20 mm. the diameter of the pressure vessel is 500 mm and its length
    is 3 m. determine the maximum internal pressure which can be applied if the
    stress in the steel is limited to 140 MPa.

    4. A 1000-kg homogeneous bar AB is suspended


    from to cables AC and BD; Each with cross-
    sectional area 400mm2, as shown in the figure.
    Determine the magnitude P and location x of the
    largest additional force which can be applied to
    the bar. The stresses in the cables AC and BD
    are limited to 100 MPa and 50 MPa,
    respectively.

    5. As in the figure shown, a hole is to be punched


    out of a plate having an ultimate shearing stress
    of 300 MPa. (a) If the compressive stress in the
    punch is limited to 400 MPa, determine the
    maximum thickness of the plate from which a
    hole 100 mm in diameter can be punched. (b) If
    the plate is 100 mm thick, compute the smallest
    diameter hole which can be punched.

    6. The bars of the pin-connected frame shown are


    each 30 mm by 60 mm in section. Determine the
    maximum load P that can be applied so that the
    stresses will not exceed 100 MN/m2 in tension
    or 80 MN/m2 in compression.
    7. The bell crank shown is in equilibrium. (a) Determine the required diameter of
    the connecting rod AB if its axial stress is limited to 100 MN/m2. (b) Determine
    the shearing stress in the pin at D if its diameter is 20 mm.

    8. The lap joint shown in the figure is fastened by


    three 20-mm diameter rivets. Assuming that
    P=50 kN, determine (a) the shearing stress in
    each rivet, (b) the bearing stress in each plate,
    and (c) the maximum average tensile stress in
    each plate. Assume that the axial load P is
    distributed equally among the three rivets.

    9. The end chord of a timber truss is framed into


    the bottom chord as shown in the figure.
    Neglecting friction, (a) compute dimension b if
    the allowable shearing stress is 900 kPa; and (b)
    determine dimension c so that the bearing stress
    does not exceed 7 MPa.

    10. A water tank is 8 m in diameter and 12 m high. If the tank is to be completely


    filled, determine the minimum thickness of the tank plating if the stress is limited
    to 40 MPa.
