s SCHOOL OF COMPUTING, ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS SEMESTER 2 EXAMINATIONS 2011/2012 ENGINEERING MECHANICS FY016 DR. S.M. BEGG Time allowed: TWO hours Answer: Any FOUR questions The total number of questions is SIX Each question carries 25 marks Items permitted: Any approved calculator Items supplied: Formulae sheet (pages 7-9) Marks for whole and part questions are indicated in brackets ( ) May/June 2012 Page 1 of 9 Question 1 (a) Describe tensile and shear stress and show how they occur in a simply supported beam subjected to a load at its midpoint. (5 marks) (b) A beam of length 10 m and negligible weight rests on supports at each end. A concentrated load of 650 N is applied at 3 m from the left-hand end. A second load of 325 N is applied at 8 m from the same end. Sketch the beam and calculate the reaction force at each of the supports. (10 marks) (c) Plot the bending moment as a function of distance along the beam. (7 marks) (d) Plot the shear force as a function of distance along the beam. (3 marks) Question 2 (a) Explain Newton’s first law of motion. (2 marks) (b) A mass of 50 kg, travelling at a velocity of 45 ms-1, is struck from behind by a mass of 60 kg travelling in the same direction at a velocity of 75 ms-1. The coefficient of restitution for the two materials is 0.9. Using the principle of conservation of linear momentum and Newton’s law of impact, calculate the final velocities of the two masses. (17 marks) (c) What is the force required to accelerate the lighter mass from its initial velocity to its final velocity in 3 s?

Hydraulic oil, of density 1200 kgm-3, flows through the pipe from the greater diameter cross-section to the smaller diameter cross-section. The pressure at the greater diameter cross-section is 160 kPa whilst the pressure at the smaller diameter cross-section is 50 kPa. Using the continuity principle and Bernoulli’s equation: (a) Calculate the velocity of the oil at both cross-sectional areas. (17 marks) (b) Calculate the volume flow rate of oil through the pipe. (3 marks) (c) The oil exits the pipe as a round jet with a velocity of 12 ms-1 where it strikes perpendicular to a flat, solid plate. What is the reaction force that must be applied to the plate to resist motion once the jet impacts?

In a competition, the rider accelerates from a linear velocity of 36 kmhr-1 to 47 kmhr-1 in a time of 12.4 s. Determine the following: (a) the final angular velocity of the wheel (in rads-1). (3 marks) (b) the number of revolutions of the wheel. (4 marks) (c) the final centripetal acceleration of the wheel. (3 marks) (d) the torque applied to the wheel (consider the wheel as a hoop). (9 marks) (e) the work done and the average power applied.

(4 marks) (b) Calculate the resultant force vector. (15 marks) (c) The particle moves with a constant acceleration of 1.4 ms-2, from an initial velocity of 22 ms-1. After 150 s, the particle stops accelerating and immediately decelerates at a constant rate of 2.65 ms-1. What is the maximum amount of kinetic energy that it will have lost by 190 s?
