This document contains instructions for Assignment No. 3 and No. 4 to be submitted by September 31st, 2015 for the Mechanics of Solids course. Assignment No. 3 contains 6 questions related to deformation of conical bars, deflection of cantilever beams, stresses and strains in beams, design of shafts based on allowable stresses, and derivation of Poisson's ratio from other material properties. Assignment No. 4 contains 5 questions on deflection and stresses in beams, relationship between principal and shear stresses, design of bolts, design of rotating shafts, and stresses in beams with T-sections. Students are to attempt the questions and problems in the assignments.

1) Derive an expression for deformation of conical bar hung to a ceiling having diameter ‘D’
& height ‘L’, weight density of bar ρ & Young’s modulus is E.
2) Find the free end deflection in Cantilever beam with uniformly distributed load by
Moment Area Method & Macaulay’s Method.

4) A solid shaft is subjected to a bending moment of 2.3kN/m & a twisting moment of 3.45
kN/m . Find the diameter of the shaft if the allowable tensile & shear stresses for shaft
material are limited to 703 MPa & 421.8 MPa respectively.
5) Attempt any four question :
(A) Define Principal Plane & Principal stress.
(B) Draw the Mohr’s Circle for pure shear.
(C) Define Neutral Axis.
(D)What do you understand by section modulus?
(E) Name any four theories of failure.
(F) Explain impact load & Impact stress.
(G) What do you mean by “strength of a shaft”, torsional rigidity & torsional stiffness?
(H) Define Neutral Axis.
(I) State Mohr’s theory for beams.
6) Show that if “E” is assumed correct, an error of 1% in the determination of “G” will
involve an error of about 5% in the calculation of Poisson’s ratio when its correct value is
0.25.
