This dataset provides OCR-corrected details for the Maharashtra Forest Services Main Examination Civil Engineering paper (2024). It includes exam metadata such as maximum marks (200), duration (Three Hours), paper type (Conventional) and medium (English). It states eight questions across two sections, with questions 1 and 5 compulsory and candidates to select at least one question from each section. Page 2 presents Q1 of Section A: 'Solve any five out of seven' with four parts (a)-(d), each comprising sub-parts. The content combines theoretical prompts (D'Alembert's principle, welded connections, kinematic viscosity, soil phase diagram) and numerical/analytical prompts (friction on a moving box, tie strength, velocity distribution, porosity-based calculations). The material offers context for exam preparation and SEO metadata generation.

(a) W19 \mathbf 2 SECTION - A Q1. Solve any five out of seven : (8 × 5 = 40) i) State D'Alembert's principle. ii) A box of mass 70 Kg resting on a horizontal surface is subjected to a force of 350 N applied at 40\circ to the horizontal as shown in Fig. 1. Determine the velocity of the box after it has moved 5.5 m. Given coeff, of friction between the box and the surface as 0.25. 40° Box 77777777777 Fig. 1
(b) i) What are the merits and demerits of welded connection ? ii) A tie of a roof truss consist of double angle ISA 100 × 75 × mm with its short leg back to back and long legs connected to the same side of a gusset plate using 16 mm dia. rivets. Determine the strength of tie in axial tension. Given ft = 150 MPa. Assume rivets have been provided at suitable pitch.
