(5 marks) 1 (b)

A thin homogeneous wire of uniform section is built into a shape as shown in figure. Determine the position of c.g. of a wire. Take ? =30? and r=15cm.

(5 marks) 1 (c) During a test, the car, moves in a straight line such that its velocity is defined by v=0.3 (9t² + 2t) where 't' is in seconds. Determine the position and acceleration when t=3 sec. take at t=0, x=0.(5 marks) 1 (d) A man in a balloon of 2 m/s relative to the balloon. After what time interval will the ball return to the balloon.(5 marks) 1 (e) A point moves along a curved path y=0.4x², At x=2m its speed is 6 m/s increasing at 3 m/s². At this instatnt find- (i) Velocity components along x and y direction. (ii) Its acceleration. (5 marks) 1 (f) State and prove work Energy principle.(5 marks) 2 (a) Find the reactions at 'A'

W_B=400 N, R_B=6 cm

W_C=200 N, R_C=5 cm (10 marks) 3 (a) Determine forces in all members of the plane truss as shown in figure.

(10 marks) 3 (b) Two spheres rests on a smooth surfaces as shown in figure. Find the reaction at points of contact 1,2,3, and 4

W_A= 500 N, W_B=200 N,

R_A=0.25m, R_B=0.20m (10 marks) 4 (a) Two blocks A and B are resting against a wal the floor as shown in figure. Find horizontal forces 'P' applied to the lower block that will hold the system in equilibrium. Take ?=0.25 at floor, ?=0.3 at wall and ?=0.2 between the blocks W_A=500 N, W_e=1000 N.

(10 marks) 4 (b) Find moment of Inertia of the shaded are as shown in figure about its references x and y axls.

(10 marks) 5 (a) A train leaves station 'A' and attains speed at the rate of 4 m/s² for 6 sec and then 6 m/s² till it reaches a velocity of 48 m/s. Further the velocity remains constatnt, then brakes are applied giving the train a constant deacceleration stopping it in 6 sec. If the total running time between two stations is 40 sec. plot a-t, v-t and x-t curve. Determine distance between two stations.(10 marks) 5 (b) A spring is used to stop 100 kg package which is moving down a 30? incline. The spring has constant k=30 kN/m is held by cables so that it is initially compressed by 90 mm. If the velocities of package is 5 m/s, when it is 9 m from spring. Determine the maximum additional deformation of spring in bringing the package to rest. Assume coefficient between block and incline as 0.2
