ME 323 - EXAM # 2
Date: November 5, 2008 Time: 8:00 9:30 p.m.
Location: Lily Room 1105


Instructions:

Circle your Lecturers name and your class meeting time.

Sadeghi Rao Siegmund

Begin each problem in the space provided on the examination sheets. If additional space is
required, use the yellow paper provided.

Work on one side of each sheet only, with only one problem on a sheet.

Please remember that for you to obtain maximum credit for a problem, you must present your
solution clearly.

Accordingly,
coordinate systems must be clearly identified,
free body diagrams must be shown,
units must be stated,
theories used have to be identified,
write down clarifying remarks,
state your assumptions, etc.

If your solution cannot be followed, it will be assumed that it is in error.

When handing in the test, make sure that ALL SHEETS are in the correct sequential
order. Remove the staple and restaple, if necessary.

PROBLEM #1 (33 points):
(23 points) Two wood boards, each of 1 inch x 4 inch rectangular cross section and a board of 1
inch x 1 inch cross section are glued together to form an I-beam. The beam needs to withstand a
vertical shear force of F
y
= 400 lb in the +y-direction. What is the required shear strength of the
glue?













(10 points) The beam is subject to a bending moment (M
zz
= 400 in lb). Determine the normal
stress at 1.0 inches above the neutral axis.

PROBLEM #3 (34 points):
For the cantilever beam shown below, determine:
1. (2 pt) The free body diagram for the beam (in the space provided below).
2. (2 pt) All support reactions.
3. (22 pt) Shear and moment diagrams for the entire beam (include units for graph axes).
NOTE: Exact expressions are not necessary, but relevant interval descriptors are
required, i.e. endpoints and functional forms (e.g. constant, linear, quadratic, etc.).
4. (8 pt) Determine the normal and shear stresses at point Q, which is located at x = 7 ft, y
= 1 in, and z = -0.5 in, as shown on the cross section diagram of the beam below.
