11. (a) The following results were obtained in a tensile test of mild steel specimen of original diameter 20mm and a gauge length of 40mm. At the limit of proportionality the load was 80kN and the extension was 0.048mm. The specimen yielded at a load of 85kN and the maximum load withstood was l50kN. When the two broken parts were fitted together the length between the gauge markings was found to be 55.6mm and the minimum diameter at the neck was 15.8mm. Calculate (i) modulus of elasticity (ii) stress at the limit of proportionality (iii yield stress (iv) ultimate stress (v) % elongation in length (vi) % reduction in area.

(b) A concrete cube of 150mm side is subjected to three pairs of axial forces on the three pairs of faces along the three mutually perpendicular axes x, y and z axis. The forces along x and z directions are tensile while the force along the y direction is compressive.If Px =54 kN, Py =72 kN and Pz =36 kN, E=12.5kN/nm2, compute the change in volume of the cube.
12. (a) Find the magnitude and nature of the forces in the given truss carrying loads as shown in Fig. 12(a).
(b).A cylindrical shell 3m long has 1m internal diameter and 1.5cm metal thickness. Calculate the maximum intensity of shear stress induced and the changes in the dimensions of the shell if it is subjected to an
internal pressure of 15kg/cm2.Take E=2.04x105 QN/nm2 and µ=O.3.

15. (a) A solid steel shaft has to transmit 100 H.P at 200 rpm. Taking allowable shear stress as N/mm2, find the suitable diameter of the shaft if the maximum transmitted in each revolution exceeds the mean by 30% . Also find the outer diameter of a hollow shaft to replace the solid shaft if the diameter ratio is 0.7.
