Q1: Calculate the diameter of a medium carbon steel pin in DOUBLE SHEAR subjected to a suddenly applied shearing force of 150000N.
Q 2: (a) A mild structural steel beam has a solid square cross section of 100mm and is simply supported by two supports 3m apart. Calculate the dead load that can be safely supported when applied to the middle of the beam.
(b) A short mild steel column with fixed ends has a cross section of 100mm by 50mm. Assuming a safety factor of 6 calculate the load that it can safely support.
