Question 5 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} P_{P}&=\frac{P}{n}=\frac{P}{3}=2 \mathrm{kN} \\ r_{A}&=r_{C}=50 ;\left(P_{S}\right)_{A}=\left(P_{S}\right)_{C} \\ r_{B}&=0 \Rightarrow\left(P_{S}\right)_{B}=0 \\ \frac{\left(P_{S}\right)_{C}}{r_{C}}\left[r_{C}^{2}+r_{B}^{2}+r_{A}^{2}\right]&=P \times e \end{aligned}
\left(P_{S}\right)_{C} \times 2 \times r_{C}=P \times e
\left(P_{S}\right)_{C}=\frac{6 \times 250}{2 \times 50}=15 \mathrm{kN}
\theta_{A}=180^{\circ} ; \theta_{C}=0^{\circ}
Resultant shear force \left(R_{C}\right)=P_{P}+\left(P_{S}\right)_{C}

\left(P_{S}\right)_{C} \times 2 \times r_{C}=P \times e
\left(P_{S}\right)_{C}=\frac{6 \times 250}{2 \times 50}=15 \mathrm{kN}
\theta_{A}=180^{\circ} ; \theta_{C}=0^{\circ}
Resultant shear force \left(R_{C}\right)=P_{P}+\left(P_{S}\right)_{C}

Question 8 Explanation:
Primary force \left(P_{1}\right)=100 \mathrm{N}
\begin{aligned} P_{1}^{\prime \prime}&=P_{2}^{\prime \prime}=P_{3}^{\prime \prime}=P_{4}^{\prime \prime}=\frac{P_{e} \times r}{4 r^{2}} \\ &= \frac{400 \times 500 \times(40 \sqrt{2} / 2)}{4 \times\left(\frac{40 \sqrt{2}}{2}\right)^{2}} \\ P_{1}^{\prime \prime}&= \frac{400 \times 500 \times 20 \sqrt{2}}{4 \times(20 \sqrt{2})^{2}} \\&= \frac{400 \times 500}{4 \times 20 \sqrt{2}} \\ P_{1}^{\prime \prime}&= 1767.766 \mathrm{N} \end{aligned}
(1 and 4) are worst loaded
\therefore P_{\text {net }}^{2}=P_{1}+P_{1}^{\prime \prime 2}+2 P_{1} P_{1}^{\prime \prime} \cos 45^{\circ}
P_{\text {net }}=1839.83 \mathrm{N}
\begin{aligned} P_{1}^{\prime \prime}&=P_{2}^{\prime \prime}=P_{3}^{\prime \prime}=P_{4}^{\prime \prime}=\frac{P_{e} \times r}{4 r^{2}} \\ &= \frac{400 \times 500 \times(40 \sqrt{2} / 2)}{4 \times\left(\frac{40 \sqrt{2}}{2}\right)^{2}} \\ P_{1}^{\prime \prime}&= \frac{400 \times 500 \times 20 \sqrt{2}}{4 \times(20 \sqrt{2})^{2}} \\&= \frac{400 \times 500}{4 \times 20 \sqrt{2}} \\ P_{1}^{\prime \prime}&= 1767.766 \mathrm{N} \end{aligned}
(1 and 4) are worst loaded
\therefore P_{\text {net }}^{2}=P_{1}+P_{1}^{\prime \prime 2}+2 P_{1} P_{1}^{\prime \prime} \cos 45^{\circ}
P_{\text {net }}=1839.83 \mathrm{N}

Question 10 Explanation:
k_{t}=\frac{A_{4} E}{4} (Stiffness in threaded portion)
\begin{aligned} k_{t} &=\frac{84.3 \times 200 \times 10^{3}}{30 \times 10^{-3}}=562 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m} \\ &=562 \mathrm{MN} / \mathrm{m} \end{aligned}
k_{d}=\frac{A_{d} E}{L_{d}} (Stiffness in unthreaded region)
A_{d}( major diameter c/s area )
=\frac{\pi}{4} \mathrm{d}^{2}=0.785 \times 144
=113.04 \mathrm{mm}^{2}
L_{d} (length of unthreaded portion) = 8mm
\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad & k_{d}=\frac{113.04 \times 200 \times 10^{3}}{8 \times 10^{-3}} \\ &=2826 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}=2826 \mathrm{MN} / \mathrm{m} \\ \frac{1}{k} &=\frac{1}{k_{t}}+\frac{1}{k_{d}} \Rightarrow k=\frac{k_{d} k_{t}}{k_{d}+k_{t}}=\frac{2826 \times 562}{2826+562} \\ &=468.77 \mathrm{MN} / \mathrm{m} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} k_{t} &=\frac{84.3 \times 200 \times 10^{3}}{30 \times 10^{-3}}=562 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m} \\ &=562 \mathrm{MN} / \mathrm{m} \end{aligned}
k_{d}=\frac{A_{d} E}{L_{d}} (Stiffness in unthreaded region)
A_{d}( major diameter c/s area )
=\frac{\pi}{4} \mathrm{d}^{2}=0.785 \times 144
=113.04 \mathrm{mm}^{2}
L_{d} (length of unthreaded portion) = 8mm
\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad & k_{d}=\frac{113.04 \times 200 \times 10^{3}}{8 \times 10^{-3}} \\ &=2826 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}=2826 \mathrm{MN} / \mathrm{m} \\ \frac{1}{k} &=\frac{1}{k_{t}}+\frac{1}{k_{d}} \Rightarrow k=\frac{k_{d} k_{t}}{k_{d}+k_{t}}=\frac{2826 \times 562}{2826+562} \\ &=468.77 \mathrm{MN} / \mathrm{m} \end{aligned}
