Consider the following statements:
1) When the number of members (n) and joints (j) are such that the equation n = (2j – 3) is satisfied, the framed structure is said to be a perfect structure.
2) In a redundant frame, the number of members is less than that required for a perfect frame.
3) If, in a framed structure, the number of members provided is more than that required for a perfect frame, it is called as deficient frame
Which of the above statements is/are correct?

A cantilever beam, 3m long, carries a uniformly distributed load over the entire length. If the slope at the free end is 1°, the deflection at the free end is

The maximum bending moment at a given section, in which a train of wheel loads moves occurs when the average load on the left segment is
1) Equal to the average load on the right segment.
2) More than the average load on the right segment.
3) Less than the average load on the right segment.

A single degree of freedom system of mass 22 kg and stiffness 17 kN/m vibrates freely. If damping in the system is 2%, the cyclic frequency and the damped circular frequency, respectively, are nearly

A cable of insignificant weight, 18 m long, is supported at its two ends, 16m apart, at the same level. The cable supports at its midreach a load of 120 N. The tension in the cable is nearly

The design strength of a tension member is governed by
1) Rupture at a critical section
2) Yielding of gross area
3) Block shear of end region
