Q6: A cantilever beam having span ‘L’ m was subjected to a uniformly distributed load of
magnitude 8 kN/m for a distance of ‘0.6 L’ from the free end and two concentrated loads one of
magnitude 15 kN at a distance ‘0.25 L’ m from the free end while the other of magnitude ‘22’ kN at
a distance ‘0.6 L’ m from the free end respectively. It was observed that the maximum bending
moment acting on the beam is equal to (-369 kNm). Suggest a suitable span for the beam based on
the loading condition. How it will change the reaction at the fixed support? What happens to the
shear force and bending moment values at the fixed support, free end and at the center of the
beam? By plotting bending moment and shear force diagram for the beam briefly conclude the
relationship between the values for shear force and bending moment

Consider a typical settling tank of 10 m diameter and 10 m height. Inlet pipe is approximately 2 m deep from the top of the tank. Perform following preliminary calculations. a. For a water-sand flowrate of 1500 m 3 /hr with 1000 ppm of sand, calculate sand particle size than can be settled in the tank. (Water: density = 1000 kg/m3 , viscosity = 1 cP; Sand: density = 2500 kg/m3 ) (6-marks) b. Consider settling of different sizes (50, 100, 200, 300 µm), calculate required tank size for settling of each particle size at a constant inlet flow rate of 1500 m3 /hr. (4-marks) c. Now consider settling of 50 µm size particles in the tank with diameter of 10 m and height of 10 m, calculate inlet flow rate required, (2-marks) d. For fine particles ( 50 µm), if tank size required to operate at 1500 m3 /hr is very large, suggest design modification to settle the fine particles. (4-marks)
