If the five forces act on a particle as shown in the figure. Determine Ap CO1 10
the resultant force.

2 ap C02 10

A simply supported beam carries a load as shown in figure. 08 CO2 10

Determine the reactions at the supports.

Determine the resultant of coplanar non concurrent force system as 08 CO2 Ap

shown in the figure. Determine its magnitude and direction and
locate its with respect to the sides of AB and AD.

Reduce the system of forces as shown in the figure into a force couple 10 CO2 Ap
5 system at A.
 The line of action of three forces are concurrent at the origin ‘O’ 10 CO1 Ap
passes through points A, B, and C having coordinates (3,0,-3), (2,-
2,4) and (-1,2,4) respectively. If the magnitude of the forces are 10 N,
30 N and 40 N, find the magnitude and direction of their resultant.

Three concurrent forces in space F1, F2 and F3 are acting at A as 10 CO1 Ap

shown in the figure. The unknown force F, is attached to the system
makes the particle A in equilibrium. Find the magnitude and
direction of the unknown force F.

Two forces P and Q are applied as shown at point A of a hook 08 CO1 Ap

support. Knowing that P =15 N and Q = 25 N, determine the
magnitude and direction of their resultant using (a) the parallelogram
law, (b) the triangle law.
