Time : Three Hours] [Maximum Marks : 75
Note : There are eight questions in this paper. All questions carry
15 marks. Attempt five questions in all by selecting at
least one from each section.

discuss Center of Gravity and Centroid of shapes:
Circle, semi-circle & trapezium. (7½)
(b) Write a technical note on theorem of parallel and
perpendicular axes. (7½)
2. (a) Define Hook's Law. Explain in detail temperature stress
and strains in simple & compound bars under axial
loading. (7½)

3. A bar of 20 mm is subjected to a pull of 50 kN. The measure
extension on gauge length of 250 mm is 0.12 mm and change
in diameter is 0.00375 mm. Calculate (a) Young's Modulus

6. A hollow mild steel cylinder 4 m long, 300 m outer diameter
and thickness of metal 50 mm is subjected to central load
on the top when standing straight. The stress produced is
