    This document contains 15 questions regarding engineering mechanics concepts like trusses, methods of truss analysis, reactions, forces in truss members, and the principle of virtual work. The questions ask the student to identify types of trusses and conditions for static determinacy, use methods of joints and sections to analyze plane trusses, determine forces and reactions in truss members and frames, and apply the principle of virtual work to solve for forces and configurations of equilibrium in loaded structures. The student is to answer all questions and provide supporting work and explanations.

    ASSIGNMENT 2
    Subject: Engineering Mechanics DUE ON :

    Q1. What are the different types of truss? Under


    what condition the truss is statically
    determinate? Find the axial force in each of
    bars 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the plane truss as shown
    in figure by method of joints.

    Q2. What are the different methods used for


    analysis of truss? Determine the axial force in
    each bar of the plane truss supported and
    loaded as shown in figure by method of joints .
    ABCD is a square; AC is horizontal.

    Q3. Find out the axial force in the members 1, 2 and


    3 of the truss as shown in figure.

    Q4. Determine the forces in the bars BC, BD and


    DE of the truss shown in figure.

    Q5. Find the axial force in the bar AD as shown in


    figure. Triangle ABC is equilateral.
    Q6. What are the advantages of method of section
    over method of joints? Determine by method
    of sections, the axial forces in each of the bars
    1, 2 and 3 of the plane truss shown in the
    figure.

    Q7. State whether the truss is statically determinate


    or not? Find the axial force in the bars BC, BH
    and GC as shown in figure by method of
    sections.

    Q8. Determine the axial force in each of the bars 1,


    2 and 3 of the plane truss as shown in figure by
    method of sections

    Q9. Determine the horizontal and vertical


    components of the reactions at A and B for the
    X frame supported and loaded in one plane as
    shown in the figure.

    Q10 Determine the horizontal and vertical


    components of the reactions at A and B of the
    semicircular three-hinged arc supported and
    loaded in one plane as shown in figure.

    Q11 Find the tension S induced in the tie rod AB of


    the frame ABC supported and loaded as shown
    in figure.
    Q12 Using the principle of virtual work, find the
    value of the angle θ defining the configuration
    of equilibrium of the system shown in the
    figure. The balls D and E can slide freely along
    the bars AC and BC but the string DE
    connecting them is inextensible.

    Q13 Using the principle of virtual work, find the


    reaction Rd for the system shown in figure for
    any position of a vertical load P on the beam
    AC as defined by its distance x from A.

    Q14 What do you mean by principle of virtual


    work? Find the axial force S in the bar CD of
    the simple truss by using the method of virtual
    work as shown in figure.

    Q15 Four bars of equal lengths 'a' are hinged


    together at their ends in the form of a rhombus
    as shown in figure. Using the principle of
    virtual work, find the relation between the
    active forces P and Q for equilibrium of the
    system in any configuration as defined by the
    angle θ. Neglects the weight of the bars.
