    Assignment
    1.

    The magnitude of the force F is 400N. Express F as a vector in terms of unit vector i and j.
    Identify both the scalar and vector components of F.

    2.

    A cable stretched between the fixed supports A and B is under tension T of 900N. Express
    the tension as a vector using the unit vectors i and j, first, as a force TA acting on A and
    second, as a force TB acting on B.

    3.

    The guy cables AB and AC are attached to the top of the transmission tower. The tension in
    cable AC is 8kN. Determine the required tension T in cable AB such that the net effect of
    the two cable tensions is a downward force at point A. Determine the magnitude R of this
    downward force.

    4.

    The 180N force is applied at the end of body OAB. If = 50o, determine the equivalent
    force-couple system at the shaft axis O.

    5.

    Determine and locate the resultant R of the two forces and one couple acting on the Ibeam.

    6.

    Determine the horizontal and vertical components of reaction at pin A and the reaction of
    the rocker B on the beam. (P5-10).

    7.

    The uniform 7m steel shaft has a mass of 200kg and is supported by a ball-and-socket joint
    at A in the horizontal floor. The ball end B rests against the smooth vertical walls as shown.
    Compute the forces exerted by the walls and the floor on the ends of the shaft.

    8.

    Rod AB below is subjected to a 200N force. Determine the reactions at the ball-and-socket
    joint A and the tensions in the cables BD and BE.

    9.

    The pole is subjected to the two forces as shown. Determine the components of reaction at
    A assuming it to be a ball-and-socket joint. Also, compute the tension in each of the guy
    wires, BC and ED. (P5-72).

    10. If the roller at B can sustain a maximum load of 3 kN, determine the largest magnitude of
    each of the three forces that can be supported by the truss.

    11. Determine the reactions at fixed support A and roller E when a force of 1350N is applied at
    P.

    12. Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the following beams. (P7-45)
    a.
    b.

    c.

    d.

    13. Determine the magnitude and direction of the friction force acting on the 100kg block shown
    if, first, P=500N and second, P=100N. The coefficient of static friction is 0.2 and the
    coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.17. The forces are applied with the block initially at rest.

    14. A horizontal force of P=100N is just sufficient to hold the crate from sliding down the plane,
    and a horizontal force of P=350N is required to just push the crate up the plane. Determine
    the coefficient of static friction between the plane and the crate, and find the mass of the
    crate.

    15. Using the method of virtual work, determine the required force P to maintain the equilibrium
    of the scissors linkage when = 60o. The spring is unstretched when = 30o. Neglect the
    mass of the links.

    16. The scissors linkage is subjected to a force of P = 150N. Determine the angle for
    equilibrium. The spring is unstretched at = 0o. Neglect the mass of the links.
