This dataset presents the Civil Engineering (Optional) paper from the Maharashtra Forest Services Main Examination, 2007. Page 1 lists exam basics: paper name, code 000093, total marks 200, duration 3 hours, five questions with Question 1 compulsory. The Q1 stem discusses desirable characteristics of building stones and a structural deflection problem for two cantilevers. Page 2 contains Section A questions (Q2 and subparts) addressing hydraulic design (duty and delta, head discharge), CPM network concepts, and descriptive topics on remote sensing and contracts, including a numerical scenario involving a ball and elevator, plus a note on contract types. The OCR has been repaired to enable complete SEO metadata generation and structured QA extraction.
(a) 1. What are the desirable characteristics of a good building stone? Give few of these above characteristics for basalt?\nTwo identical horizontal cantilevers AB and CD of length 2L are connected at
(b) their free ends by a rigid vertical members BD as shown in fig 1. A point load W is applied at the centre of CD. If W = 0.24KN, L = 1m, E = 2 × 105 N/mm2 and I = 200 × 103 mm4. Calculate the vertical deflection of point 'D'. \nFigure No. 1 (Not to Scale) P.T.O.
(a)
2 Define "Duty" and "Delta". The culturable command area of a water course is
(c) 1200 hectares. Itensitis of Sugarcane and Wheat crops are 20% and 40% respectively. The duties for the crops at the head of water course are 730 hectares per cumec and 1800 hectares/cumec respectively. Find: the discharge required at the head of the water course. \n
(i) determine the design discharge at the outlet assuming a time factor equal to 0.8.\nWhat are the advantages of using a CPM network in execution of a project? \n(d) In the "Critical Path Method". Define : Activity, Event, Dummy activity, Total (e) float and Free float.\nSection A\nAnswer the following subquestions :\n2. A ball is thrown vertically upward from the 12m level in an elevator shaft with an initial velocity of 18m/s. At the same time instant an open platform elevator passes the 5m level, moving upward with a constant velocity at 2m/s. Determine -\n
(i) When and where the ball will hit the elevator\n
(ii) The relative velocity of the ball with respect to the elevator when the ball hits the elevator.\nWhat do you understand by remote sensing ? Explain with help of a neat
(b) sketch an idealized remote sensing system.
(c) Write a note on application of remote sensing.\n List various types of contracts. Write the advantages and disadvantages of an Item rate contract or Lump-sum contract.
