QUESTION:
A large pipe, called a penstock in hydraulic work, is 1.5 m in diameter. It is
composed of wooden staves bound together by steel hoops, each 300 sq.
Millimetre in cross-sectional area, and is used to conduct water from a reservoir to
power a house. If the maximum tensile stress permitted in the hoops is 130 MPa,
what is the maximum spacing between hoops under a head of water of 30 m?
Choices:
a. 17.7mm
ANSWER:
c. 177 mm
b. 77.1 mm
c. 177 mm
d. 71.7 mm

QUESTION:
A pipe carry steam at 3.5 MPa has an outside diameter of 450 mm and a wall
thickness of 10 mm. A gasket is inserted between the flange at one end of the
pipe and a flat plate use to cap the end. How many 40-mm-diameter bolts must be
used to hold the cap on if the allowable stress in the bolts is 80 MPa, of which 55
MPa is the initial stress?
Choices:
a. 14
b. 15
ANSWER:
d. 17
c. 16
d. 17

N = (3.5x10^6)(0.45 2x0.01)^2 / [(0.04^2)(8855)x10^6] = 16.18 round up
N = 17

QUESTION:
A steel rod having a cross-sectional area of 300 sq. Meters and a length of 150 m
is suspended vertically from one end. It supports a tensile load of 20 kN at the
lower end. If the unit mass of steel is 7850 kg/m^3 and E = 200x10^3 MN/m^2,
find the total elongation of the rod.
Choices:
a. 54.3 mm
ANSWER:
a. 54.3 mm
b. 40 mm
c. 43.3 mm
d. 35 mm

= [(7850)(9.8)(150^2) / 2(200X10^9)] + [(20000)(150)(1000^2) / 300(200X10^9)]
= 54.3 mm

ANSWER:
c. 192 kN
b. 240 kN
c. 192 kN
d. 420 kN

P = [(/4)(0.05^2)(200x10^9)(0.0008)/2] +
[(/4)(0.06^2 -0.05^2)(100x10^9)(0.0008)/2]

Choices:
a. 41.3 MPa
ANSWER:
a. 41.3 MPa
b. 43.4 MPa
c. 34.3 MPa
