CE-201: Mechanics of Solids - II

The document is a mid-term examination for a Mechanics of Solids course consisting of 4 questions. Question 1 asks about the kern of a cross section and to explain with diagrams. Question 2 asks to calculate normal stress at a point on an unsymmetrically loaded beam. Question 3 asks to draw Mohr's circle for a given stress state, determine principal stresses and maximum shear stress, and show results on a stress element. Question 4 asks to explain failure theories and their applicability to ductile and brittle materials.
