This document appears to be an exam for a Strength of Materials course, outlining 8 questions with 3 parts each for a total of 24 sub-questions. It provides context that the exam is for a 3rd semester BE degree, is worth a total of 100 marks, and includes instructions to answer 5 full questions by selecting at least 2 from each part. The questions cover a range of topics in strength of materials including stress-strain behavior, axial loading, point loading, thermal stresses, thick cylinders, principal stresses, shear force and bending moment, beam deflection, torsion, and column buckling. Diagrams and calculations are required to solve several of the quantitative problems.
