Assignment No.01

1. Determine the resultant of the parallel coplanar force system as shown in

fig.

2. Determine the magnitude, direction and the line of application of the

equilibriant of the set of forces as shown in fig which will keep the plane
body ABCDEFGH in equilibrium.
3. An equilateral triangular plate of sides 200 mm is acted upon by four
forces. Determine the magnitude, direction of the resultant of the system
of forces and its position.

4. Determine the resultant of the four forces acting on a body

5. A bracket is subjected to system of forces and couples .Find the resultant of the
system and the point of intersection of its line of action with a)line AB, BC, CD

6. Determine the resultant of the three forces acting on the dam section and locate
its intersection with the base AB .For the safe design this intersection should be
within the middle third. Is it a safe design?
