PROBLEM NO.

1: Replace the force and the couple shown with an equivalent force-couple system where
the force acts at A.

PROBLEM NO. 2: Determine the wrench that is equivalent to the force-couple system shown and find the
coordinates of the point where the axis of the wrench crosses the xz-plane.

PROBLEM NO. 3: The resultant of the line loads acting on the beam AB is a couple CR. Determine the
distance a, and the couple CR.

PROBLEM NO. 4: A portion of the square plate is loaded by the uniformly distributed load p =20 lb/ft2.
Find the coordinates of the point in the xy-plane through which the resultant passes.
