    Attempt all the questions.
    1. a. The ring shown in figure is subjected to two forces, F1 and F2. If it is 7

    directed vertically downward, determine:
    i. The magnitudes of F1 and F2 provided θ =300.
    ii. The magnitudes of F1 and F2 if F2 is to be a minimum

    diagram of each cylinder and determine the forces exerted at each
    contact points.

    b.A motorist is travelling on a curved portion of a highway of radius 7


    750m at a sped of 100km/hr. the brakes are suddenly applied, causing
    the speed to decrease at a constant rate. Knowing that after 8s speed
    has been reducing to 75km/hr. Determine the acceleration of the
    2
    automobile immediately after the brakes have been applied.

    mB = 4 kg and mC = 3 kg that the velocities of the particles expressed in
    m/s are respectively, VA = 2i + 3j - 2k, VB = Vxi + Vyj +Vz k, and VC

    coefficient of friction is 0.2, determine the maximum compression of the
    spring and maximum velocity of the block. Assume the impact is
    perfectly plastic, find the maximum force developed by the spring.
