CO2 R 1. Define strain energy? (2)
CO2 R 2. Define Castiglione’s theorem? (2)
A steel specimen 1.5cm² in c/s stretches 0.05mm over 5cm gauge length under an
CO2 R 3.
axial load of 30Kn calculates the strain energy stored in the specimen at this point. ? (2)

CO2 R 6.
CO 2 R 7. (a) A fixed beam of span 6m is loaded with point load of 150Kn at a distance 2m (13
from each support. Draw SFD & BMD. )
PART C (1x14 = 14 marks)
A beam of length ‘L’ simply supported at the ends is load with a point load W
at a distance from ‘a’ from one end. Assuming that the beam has constant cross 14
section with moment of inertia ‘I’ and young’s modulus for the material of the
