QUESTION 1 [25 MARKS]

a) Determine the average shear stress developed in pin A of the truss as shown in Figure la.
A horizontal force of P = 40 kN is applied to joint C. Each pin has a diameter of 25 mm
(12 Marks)
and is subjected to double shear.

b) The elastic portion of the stress-strain diagram for a steel alloy is shown in Figure lb.
The specimen from which it was obtained had an original diameter of 13 mm and a gauge
length of 50 mm. If a load of = 20 kN is applied to the specimen, determine its diameter
and gauge length. Take v = 0.4.

QUESTION 3 [25 MARKS]

a) Gear B supplies 15 kW of power, while gears A, C, and D withdraw 6 kW, 4 kW, and 5
kW, respectively as shown in Figure 3a. If the shaft is made of steel with the allowable
shear stress of Tallow = 75 MPa, and the relative angle of twist between any two gears
cannot exceed 0.05 rad, determine the required minimum diameter d of the shaft to the
nearest millimeter. The shaft is rotating at 600 rpm.
