1) The link is subjected to two forces F1 and F2. Determine the magnitude and direction of
the resultant force.(Ans:Fr=629N,Ө=67.9)

2) Determine the x and y scalar components of each of the three forces

(F1x=491.5,F1y=344; F2x=400,F2y=300; F3x=355, F3y=-715

3) (a) Calculate the moment of the 90-N force about point O for the condition Ө = 15º.
(52.159Nm-18.635Nm=33.524Nm)
(b) Determine the value of Ө for which the moment about O is (1) zero (2) a maximum.
(36.9 and126.9)
4) Replace the three forces acting on the bent pipe by a single equivalent force R. Specify
the distance x from point O to the point on the x-axis through which the line of action of
R passes.

5) Consider the traffic light, mass of 15.0 kg, suspended from two wires as shown in Figure. Find
the tension in each wire, neglecting the masses of the wires.

6) Determine the reactions at the support A and B for the overhanging beam.

RB=89.4kN; RA=42.6kN

7) The wrench is subjected to the 200 N force and the force P as shown. If the equivalent of the
two forces is a force R at O and a couple expressed as the vector M = 20 kNm. Determine the
magnitude of the force P and the equivalent force R

P = 40N ; R = -160 N
