Lit Kharagpur Ce21004 Midterm, Spring 20014 Instructions: Answer All Questions

1. The document provides instructions for a midterm exam in a CE21004 course at IIT Kharagpur. It instructs students to show work for full credit and maintain academic integrity. 2. It asks three questions: the first asks to comment on determinacy and stability of structures and differentiate between internal and external indeterminacy. The second asks to find vertical displacements of points on a truss. The third asks to find vertical deflection of a point on a bent solid rod considering bending, shear and torsional energies. 3. The document provides diagrams to accompany each question and specifies the number of points allocated to each question.

Instructions
1. Answer all questions.
2. You will get full credits only if you show all important steps in your solution. Merely writing the
right answer without relevant details may not fetch you any point. If you cannot solve a problem
completely, write the outline or steps for the solution in order to get partial credits.
3. Maintain academic integrity.

Ql: Comment on the determinacy and stability of each structure below. If indeterminate, state the
degree of indeterminacy. For additioool credit, differentiate between internal and external
indeterminacy where relevant. (30 pofu.ts).
