3
+3t (S is in m and t is time
in sec). starting from t=0, to attain a velocity of 9 m/s the particle will have to
travel a distance of

2. i)


ii)
Explain stress-strain curve for ductile material with neat sketch.

The following data relate to a bar subjected to a tensile test:
Diameter of a bar, d= 30mm (0.03m)
Tensile load, P= 54KN
Gauge length, l= 300mm (0.3m)
Extension of the bar, l= 0.112mm
Change in diameter, d= 0.00366mm

Calculate (i) Poissons ratio (ii) The values of three moduli (E, C and K).

What are sagging and hogging moments?
A sphere is fired horizontally into a viscous liquid with an initial velocity of 27
m/s. If it experience a deceleration a= - 6tm/s

, where t is in seconds, determine
the distance travelled before it stops.
