Find the reactions at the surface of contact (A&B), if there is no friction and the cylinder weighs 150N. A 40° i Fig.t (OR) 2. For the system of forces shown in Fig.2 determine the magnitude of P and Q such that the resultant of system passes through A and B, a Fig2 3. Find the reactions at the supports A ad B of the beam shown in Fig. 3. 40ku BoB 5oRN Fig3 (OR) 4, A ladder of length Sm is placed against a vertical wall. The weight of the ladder is 300N. The bottom of the ladder makes 45° with the floor. The coefficient of friction between the floor and the ladder is 0.5 and that of between the wall and the ladder is 0.40. In addition to its own weight, the ladder has to support a man of weight SOON at Im from the top. Determine the minimum horizontal force (P) to be applied at the floor level to prevent the ladder from slipping. 15.

The bullet gets embedded in the body and due to the impact, the body swings through an angle of 18.2°. the velocity of the bullet. (oR) 8.Two stations P and Q are 5.2 km apart. An automobile starts from rest from the station P and accelerates uniformly to attain a speed of 48 kmph in 30 seconds. This speed is maintained until the brakes are applied. The automobile comes to rest at the station Q with a uniform retardation of 1 m /s?. Determine the total time required to cover the distance between these two stations. ‘9.Two bodies A and B are connected by a light inextensible cord as shown in Fig.6.If both the bodies are released simultaneously, what distance do they move in 3 seconds? Neglect the friction between the two bodies and the inclined surfaces. Fig.6 (or) _66 Fp 10. Two bodies A and B of masses 4 0kg and 30kg are Tied to the two ends of a light string passing over a composite pulley of radius of gyration as 70mm and mass 4kg as shown in Fig.7 Find the pulls in the ‘wo parts of the string and the angular acceleration of the pulley, -— t loomm Le 200mm .
