Question 1: A uniform bar has a mass of 100 kg and centre of mass at G. The supports A, B
and C are smooth. Determine the reactions at the points of contact at A, B and C of the bar.
Question 2: Determine the force in member HP of the loaded truss. Members FP and GQ cross
without touching and are incapable of supporting compression.
Question 3: Determine the reaction at the roller F for the frame loaded as shown.

Question 4: Determine the support reactions in the following problem.
Solutions to questions 5 to 6 are to be submitted by students individually for evaluation,
based on the solutions discussed for Questions 1 to 4 by the tutors.
Question 5: The roof truss supports the vertical loading shown. Determine the force in
members BC, CK and KJ and state if the members are in tension or compression. Use the
Method of Sections. The value of P is 8 + the last digit of your roll number, while Q is 4 + the
last digit of your roll number. Both are in kN.
