Force Systems Pro-1
• The force F has a magnitude of 800 N.
Express F as a vector in terms of the
unit vectors i and j. Identify the x and y
scalar components of F.
Force Systems Pro-2
The two structural members, one of which is in tension and the other
in compression, exert the indicated forces on joint O. Determine the
magnitude of the resultant R of the two forces and the angle which R
makes with the positive x-axis.
Force Systems Pro-3
Forces F1 and F2 act on the bracket as shown. Determine the
projection Fb
of their resultant R onto the b-axis.
Force Systems Pro-4
The two forces shown act at point A of the bent
bar.
Determine the resultant R of the two forces.
Force Systems Pro-4
At what angle Ɵ must the 800-N force be applied in
order that the resultant R of the two forces has a
magnitude of 2000 N? For this condition, determine
the angle β between R and the vertical.
Force Systems Pro-5
Determine the resultant R of the four forces acting on the gusset
plate. Also find the angle Ɵx which the resultant makes with the x-
axis.
Force Systems Pro-5
Calculate the magnitude of the tension T and the
angle Ɵ for which the eye bolt will be under a
resultant downward force of 15 kN.
Force Systems Pro-6
Ififthe
thesystem is in equilibrium, determine M.

Force Systems Pro-7
Determine and locate the resultant R of the two forces
and one couple acting on the I-beam.
Force Systems Pro-8
The design specifications for the attachment at A for this beam depend on the
magnitude and location of the applied loads. Represent the resultant of
the three forces and couple by a single force R at A and a couple M.
Specify the magnitude of R.
Force Systems Pro-9
In the equilibrium position shown, the resultant of the three forces acting on
the bell crank passes through the bearing O. Determine the vertical force
P. Does the result depend on Ө?
Force Systems Pro-10
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 Ө it makes
with the x-axis.
