Question 1: Determine the stretch in each spring for equilibrium of 2 kg block. The springs are shown
in equilibrium position.
Question 2: Determine the magnitude and direction measured counterclockwise from the positive x
axis of the resultant force of the three forces acting on the ring A. It is given that θ = 20 and F1 = 500
N.
Question 3: A prybar is used to remove a nail as shown. Determine the moment of the 60-lb force about
the point O of contact between the prybar and the small support block.

Question 4: Elements of the lower arm are shown in the figure. The weight of the forearm is 5 lb with
mass centre at G. Determine the combined moment about the elbow pivot O of the weights of the
forearm and the sphere. What must the biceps tension force be so that the overall moment about O is
zero?
Question 5: The 120-N force is applied as shown to one end of the curved wrench. If calculate the
moment of F about the center O of the bolt. Determine the value of which would maximize the moment
about O; state the value of this maximum moment.

Question 6: The system consisting of the bar OA, two identical pulleys, and a section of thin tape is
subjected to the two 180-N tensile forces shown in the figure. Determine the equivalent force–couple
system at point O.
Question 7: Two integral pulleys are subjected to the belt tensions shown. If the resultant R of these
forces passes through the center O, determine T and the magnitude of R and the counterclockwise angle
it makes with the x-axis.

Question 8: The rigid pole and cross-arm assembly is supported by the three cables shown. A
turnbuckle at D is tightened until it induces a tension T in CD of 1.2 kN. Express T as a vector. Does it
make any difference in the result which coordinate system is used?
Question 9: The rectangular plate is supported by hinges along its side BC and by the cable AE. If the
cable tension is 300 N, determine the projection onto line BC of the force exerted on the plate by the
cable. Note that E is the midpoint of the horizontal upper edge of the structural support.
