Basic Considerations
FE-type Exam Review Problems: Problems 1.1 to 1.13


1.1 (C) m = F/a or kg = N/m/s2 = N·s2/m


1.2 (B) [ [ du/dy)] = (F/L2)/(L/T)/L = F.T/L2

1.3 (A) 2.36 10 Pa 23.6 10 Pa 23.6 nPa

The mass is the same on earth and the moon, so we calculate the mass using the
weight given on earth as:
1.4 (C) m = W/g = 250 N/9.81 m/s2 = 25.484 kg
Hence, the weight on the moon is:
W = mg = 25.484 1.6 = 40.77 N

The shear stress is due to the component of the force acting tangential to the
area:
1.5 (C) Fshear F sin 4200 sin 30 2100 N
Fshear 2100 N
= 84 103 Pa or 84 kPa

1.6 (B) – 53.6 C

Using Eqn. (1.5.3):

The shear stress is given by:
dr

1.8 (A) We determine du/dr from the given expression for u as:
du d⎡
10 1 2500r2
⎤ 50, 000r dr dr ⎣ ⎦

At the wall r = 2 cm = 0.02 m. Substituting r in the above equation we get:
