1. By assuming the following free body diagrams are in equilibrium, find the magnitude of force A
and N.
a. ∑𝐹𝑋 = 𝐹𝐴𝑋 + 𝐹𝐵𝑋 + 𝐹𝐶𝑋 = 0
∑𝐹𝑌 = 𝐹𝐴𝑌 + 𝐹𝐵𝑋 + 𝐹𝐶𝑋 = 0

𝐹𝐴𝑋 = −(𝐹𝐵𝑋 + 𝐹𝐶𝑋 )

= −(15 cos(120°) + 13 cos(256°))
= −(−7.5 − 3.14498)
= 10.645 N

𝐹𝐴𝑌 = −(𝐹𝐵𝑋 + 𝐹𝐶𝑋 )

= −(15 sin(120°) + 13 sin(256°))
= −0.3765 N

𝐹𝐴 = √(𝐹𝐴𝑋 )2 + (𝐹𝐴𝑌 )2
= √113.4578
= 10.6517 N

−0.3765
𝜃 = tan−1 ( )
10.6517
= −2.0258°

∴ 𝐹𝐴 = 10.6517 N, −2.0258°

b. ∑𝐹𝑋 = 𝐹𝑁𝑋 + 𝐹𝑀𝑋 + 𝐹𝑄𝑋 = 0

∑𝐹𝑌 = 𝐹𝑁𝑌 + 𝐹𝑀𝑋 + 𝐹𝑄𝑋 = 0

𝐹𝑁𝑋 = −(𝐹𝑀𝑋 + 𝐹𝑄𝑋 )

= −(29.8 cos(110°) + 49.0 cos(270°))
= 10.192 N

𝐹𝑁𝑌 = −(𝐹𝑀𝑌 + 𝐹𝑄𝑌 )

= −(29.8) sin(110°) + 49.0 sin(270°))
= 20.9972 N

𝐹𝑁 = √10.1922 + 20.99722
= 23.3423 N

20.9972
𝜃 = tan−1 ( )
10.192
= 64.1082°

∴ 𝐹𝑁 = 23.3423 N, 64.1082°
2. A 50 kg box rets on a wooden ramp with an adjustable angle of inclination.
a. Draw a free body diagram of the box.

𝐹𝑔

b. 𝜃 = 20°

i. 𝐹𝑔 cos(𝜃) = 50(9.81) cos(20°) = 460.919 N

ii. 𝐹𝑔 sin(𝜃) = 50(9.81) sin(20°) = 167.761 N

iii. 𝐹𝑁 = 𝐹𝑔 cos(𝜃) = 460.919 N

3. Two blocks of mass M and m are connected via a pulley.
a. Draw a free body diagram for M and m:

ii.
𝑇

𝐹𝑔

b. Write down the equation for static equilibrium for:

i. Block M

𝑇 + Mg sin(𝜃) = 0

ii. Block m

𝑇 + 𝑚𝑔 = 0

c. Given that the mass for block m is 30 kg, find the tension force, T of the cable

𝑇 + 𝑚𝑔 = 0
𝑇 + 30(−9.81) = 0
𝑇 = 294.3 N
d. Find the angle of inclination, 𝜃 if the mass for block M is 60 kg

𝑇 + 𝑀𝑔 sin 𝜃 = 0
294.3 + 60(−9.81) sin(𝜃) = 0
588.6 sin 𝜃 = 294.3
294.3
sin 𝜃 =

𝜃 = sin−1 ( )
