Questions (page 2)
Q1. What should be the value of 'θ' of the inclined plane shown in Figure 1, which will make the motion of 900 N block down the plane to impend ? The coefficient of friction for all contact surfaces is 1/3.
Q2. A man wishes to move a wooden box of 1 m cube to a distance of 5 m with the least amount of work. If the block weighs 1 kN and the coefficient of friction is 0.3, determine whether he should tip the box or slide it.
Q3.
A cord ACB, 5 m long is attached at points A and B to two vertical walls 3 m apart as shown in Figure
2. A pulley C of negligible weight and size carries a suspended load of 200 N and is free to roll without friction along the cord. Determine the position of the load as defined by its horizontal distance from one of the walls so that the system is in equilibrium. For this position determine tension in the cord.

Q4.
A rigid bar is fixed to the top of three posts made of steel and aluminium as shown in Figure 3. The length of all the posts is 250 mm when no load is applied and the temperature is 20°C. Determine the reaction offered by each of the posts if the horizontal bar is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of 150 KN/m and the temperature is raised to 80 °C. The coefficients of thermal expansion of the materials are α_{\textsteel} = 12 × 10-6 / \text°C and α_{\textalluminjum} = 23 × 10-6 / \text°C.
