Describe the conditions that would influence your diagnosis and prognosis, and the subsequent complications and dangers to life likely to arise; give your treatment of the primary injury, and of the most probable complications. 3. A child one year old, ill-nourished and feeble, became very restless, lost its appetite, slept but little, cried when it was moved, and screamed with pain when its left foot or leg was touched. Ten days from the commencement of these symptoms it was examined by a surgeon who found, besides considerable constitutional derangement, that the left thigh was flexed on the abdomen, and rigidly fixed; any attempt to move it caused great pain; pressure on the great trochanter also caused pain. What would be your diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment at this stage of the disease? Describe fully the details of the treatment. HONOUR EXAMINATION IN ENGINEERING. 4TH YEAR OLD REGULATIONS. ADVANCED SURVEYING. The Board of Examiners. 1. Write an essay upon the location of main roads in mountainous districts, illustrating it by reference to roads in Victoria. 2. Discuss fully the mode of proportioning culverts and bridges on a line of railway. Illustrate your answer by dealing with the case of a creek draining 20 square miles of hilly country, the creek itself falling 30 feet per mile, and the rainfall being similar to that experienced in Melbourne. 3. What is meant by a "curve of adjustment ?" What advantages attend the use of such curves, and how are they laid out? 4. Write an essay upon the various methods of gauging the flow of large and small streams, and upon the relation that exists between such flow and the rainfall. 5. Give as full a description as you can of the construction, adjustment, and mode of using the various instruments employed in a great trigonometrical survey. 4TH YEAR OLD REGULATIONS. MECHANICAL DRAWING AND DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRY. The Board of Examiners. 1. Draw the epicycloid formed when the rolling circle is 3 inches and the fixed circle 6 inches diameter, and from the point where it meets the fixed circle draw an involute to that circle. Discuss the application of these curves to the design of the teeth of wheels. 2. A chessboard is 16 inches square, and a bucket is 13 inches diameter at top, 9 inches at bottom, and 12 inches deep. The bucket is placed on the chessboard, their centres coinciding. Make an isometrical drawing one-third full size of these objects, and describe the method, and point out the practical advantages of this system of delineation. 3. Make a perspective drawing of the objects described in the preceding question, the picture plane being in contact with one corner of the chessboard and inclined 30° to one side of it, and the point of sight being 1 foot above the top of the bucket. 4. The colony of Victoria extends from the 141st to the 150th meridian, and from the 34th to the 39th parallel of south latitude. Make a conical projection showing each degree of latitude and longitude, the scale to be such that each degree of latitude is represented by 1 inch. 5. Make working drawings half full size of the object submitted to you. APPLIED MECHANICS. FIRST PAPer. The Board of Examiners. 1. Design a web-plate girder to suit the following conditions: (a) Continuous over three spans of 50 feet, 20 feet, and 30 feet respectively. (b) Loaded with 1 ton per foot run. (c) Not more than 3 feet deep. Draw to suitable scale diagrams of bending moments and shearing forces, and investigate the equations of slope and deflection. Make a drawing showing arrangement of plates, angle irons, stiffeners, &c. State size of rivets, and show how you would space them. 2. Make a sketch of a lattice girder suitable for a swing bridge of two spans of 80 feet, central pier 20 feet diameter: Dead load 14 tons per foot run. Live load 1 tons per foot run. APPLIED MECHANICS. SECOND PAPER. The Board of Examiners. 1. Describe and illustrate by means of sketch diagrams how you would determine the horizontal thrust and bending moment in a rigid arch rib assuming all necessary data. 2. Make sketches showing plan and elevation and end view of an ordinary American truss railway bridge, with sloping ends, and show how you would proceed in order to calculate the stresses on the various members due to wind. 3. A suspension bridge consists of steel wire cables, steel stiffening girders hinged at the centre, and steel cross girders. The span is 500 feet, the dip of the cables is 40 feet. Investigate the maxima bending moments and shearing stresses in the stiffening girder, and the maximum intensity of working stress which you would allow on the booms and web. Show how you would design the stiffening girder, having given the dead load one ton per foot run, and live load half a ton per foot run. 4. State fully, and illustrate by sketches, how you would design the eye bars and pins of an American truss bridge, making all necessary calculations. 5. Design a group tension joint consisting of four plates, each 24 inches wide, by inch thick; and make all necessary calculations as to the number of rivets required in the central and end groups. Consider fully the four ways in which such a joint may fail. 4TH YEAR B.C.E., OLD REGULATIONS. CIVIL ENGINEERING. The Board of Examiners. 1. A slip of earth has taken place from a roadway into a clay pit; the accompanying cross-section shews |
