NUMERICALS
1. Determine magnitude, direction and line of action of the resultant of forces 6qring in the
system as shown in figure below.
2. The 6m pole ABC is acted upon by 455 N force as shown. The pole at A is supported by
two cables BD and BE as shown in figure. Determine tension in each cable and the reaction
at A.
3. Determine the resultant force and moment about point O.
4. A homogeneous circular plate of mass 50 kg is supported by three wires. The angular
distance between the points of attachment on the circumference of the plate w.r.t center of
the plate makes an angle of l00o while other two angular distances are 1200 and 1400 as
shown in figure below. The three wires are attached to a single point on the ceiling which
is 5 m vertically above the centroid of the plate. The plate has diameter of 1 m. Calculate
the force developed in each wire.
5. Three vertical wires as shown in figure support a plate of 50 kg. Determine the tension in
each wire. All dimensions are in mm.
6. Determine the magnitude, direction and position w.r.t. centre O of the resultant of forces
acting on the rectangular plate ABCD as shown in the figure.
7. Two wrenches are shown in figure below, determine the equivalent wrench and also
indicate its line of action.
8. lf two forces of same magnitude 25 kN act at points A and B as shown in figure and force
at A passes through C and force at B passes through D.
(a) Find equivalent force-couple system at 'O'
(b) Find equivalent wrench and give pitch and axis of wrench.
9. A square board ABCD is fixed in a vertical plane. Two pulleys P and Q on the board carry
loads of 25 N and 50 N suspended by strings as shown. The coordinates of the centre of
pulleys are P (1, 4) m and Q (4, 1) m respectively. Determine the magnitude and direction
of the resultant and the distance from A to the line of action of resultant.?
10. A 300 N force is applied at A as shown in the figure. Determine
a. Moment of the 300 N force about D.
b. The magnitude and direction of horizontal force applied at C that creates the same
moment about D.
c. The smallest force applied at C, that creates the same moment about D.
11. Find the magnitude, direction and position of resultant force from corner A. Also
calculate the two points where the line of action of resultant intersects the edge of the
plate.
