Engineering Mechanics Question Bank (23ESL10C)
Topic – Composition and Resolution of Forces
1 Determine the magnitude of the resultant force acting on the screw eye and
its direction measured clockwise from the x axis.

2. Two forces act on the hook. Determine the magnitude of the resultant force.

3. Determine the magnitude of the resultant force and its direction measured
counterclockwise from the positive x axis.
4 If the magnitude of the resultant force is to be 500 N, directed along the
positive y axis, determine the magnitude of force F and its direction 𝞱.

5 Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force.


6. Three spheres A, B and C having their diameters 500 mm, 500 mm and 800
mm, respectively are placed in a trench with smooth side walls and floor as
shown. The centre-to-centre distance of spheres A and B is 600 mm. The
cylinders A, B and C weigh 4 kN, 4 kN and 8 kN respectively. Determine the
reactions developed at contact points P, Q, R and S.

7 Determine the magnitude of the resultant force and its direction, measured
counterclockwise from the positive x axis.

8 Two smooth spheres each of radius 100 mm and weighing 100 N, rest in a
horizontal channel having vertical walls, the distance between which is 360
mm. Find the reactions at the points of contact A, B, C and D.
9. Three cylinders are placed in a rectangular ditch as shown. Neglecting friction,
determine the reaction between cylinder A and the vertical wall. Weights and
radii of the cylinders are as given below:

10. A roller of radius r = 300 mm and weighing 2000 N is to be pulled over a curb
of height 150 mm, as shown in Fig. , by applying a horizontal force F applied to
the end of a string wound around the circumference of the roller. Find the
magnitude of force F required to start the roller move over the curb. What is
the least pull F through the centre of the wheel to just turn the roller over the
curb?
