PROBLEM SET NO.
General Instructions: Answer all of the problems completely. Round off your final answer to the
nearest ten thousandths. Box your final answers. Answers with improper units will be marked
incorrect. Do not simplify your solution – when solving, write the equation first before putting/
substituting obtained or known values to the equation. AI-generated solutions, and solutions
obtained from the internet will be marked wrong.
1. Two structural members B and C are bolted to the bracket A. Knowing that the tension in
member B is 6 kN and that the tension in C is 10 kN, determine graphically the
magnitude and direction of the resultant force acting on the bracket.
2. Two structural members B and C are bolted to the bracket A. Knowing that the tension in
member B is 2500 lb and that the tension in C is 2000 lb, determine graphically the
magnitude and direction of the resultant force acting on the bracket.
