A symmetrical channel section is made of a material which is equally strong in tension and compression. It is used as a simply supported beam with its web horizontal to carry vertical loads. It will
A machine costing Rs. 8, 500 will have a scrap value of Rs. 300. Machines of this class have a working hour average life of 25, 000 hours. What will be the depreciation charge at the end of the first year, if the machine is operated for a total of 1500 hours ? (use straight line method of depreciation)
Figure shows the forces acting on a body. Each square is 3 cm x 3 cm. If F1 = 30 N, F2 = 15 N, F3 = 25 N and F4 = 20 N, the resultant force and the moment about point O, respectively, are
A simply supported beam of span (l) carries a point load W at midspan. The breadth 'b' of the beam along the entire span is constant. Given, f = permissible stress in bending, for a beam of uniform strength, the depth of the beam at any cross-section, at a distance x from the support would be :
