ΣFX = RX − F Sinθ = 0
ΣFY = −100 + RY − F Cosθ = 0
From the above two equations, we can find RX and RY in terms of F . Now coming to the
value of F to hold the foot pedal in static equilibrium, we need to balance the moments of
the forces about O (Taking counter-clockwise to be the positive direction)

Question 1.22. Let the reaction forces at A, B and C be RA , RB and RC respectively
(Bold letters being vectors), where
RA + RB + RC − (8kN )k = 0.
Moment balance about any two points from A, B and C would give us the remaining 6
equations. One case would be, say, the moment balance about B -
Question 1.31.
ΣFx = 0 ⇒ RAX + REX = 0
ΣFy = 0 ⇒ RAY + REY = W
ΣMA = 0 ⇒ REX = 2W
RAX = −2W

Question 1.34. When car moves up the hill, friction on the rear wheel is upwards (rear-
drive) and downwards on the front wheel. When car is just about to slip, the friction on
the rear wheel acts in the same direction (upwards) and friction on the front wheel changes
direction (upwards). At this moment taking limiting value of friction on the front wheel as
zero .

Use the BCs in eq 1, 2, 3 to obtain RA , Ry , M as
RA = 1.543 kN
Ry = −0.543 kN

At point B
ΣFx = 0 =⇒ FAB = FBC
ΣFy = 0 =⇒ RAB cos30 + FBC cos30 − 450 = 0 =⇒ FAB = 259.8N
At point C
ΣFx = 0 =⇒ FAC + FBC cos60 − 450 = 0
FAC = 320.1N
