Q No. 1: (10)
Four tugboats are bringing an ocean liner to its pier. Each tugboat exerts a 5000-lb force in the direction
shown. Determine
(a) The equivalent force-couple system at the foremast O,
(b) The point on the hull where a single, more powerful tugboat should push to produce the same effect
as the original four tugboats.
Q No. 2:
(10)
The force system shown can be reduced to the resultant force R = -400 j N acting at point O. Determine
F, T and θ.

Q No. 3:

Determine the projected component of the force . Express the result
