Question 1: The 120-N force is applied as shown to one end of the curved wrench. If α = 30°,
calculate the moment of F about the center O of the bolt. Determine the value of α which would
maximize the moment about O; state the value of this maximum moment.

Question 2: 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 3: Determine the force in each member of the loaded truss. Make use of the symmetry
of the truss and of the loading. Use method of joints.

Question 4: The three-wheel truck is used to carry the 100-kg box as shown. Calculate the
changes in the normal force reactions at the three wheels due to the weight of the box.

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: 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. The value of force R Newton is determined
as R= 160 + last two digits of your roll number.

Question 6: Compute the load in each member of the truss shown below using the method of
joints. The load L is in Newton, and its value is equal to 10+last two digits of your roll number.
The length of each truss member is 5 m.
