Three vectors A, B, and C are shown in the

figure below. Find one vector (magnitude and

direction) that will have the same effect as the
three vectors shown in Fig. P-013 below.

SOLUTION

SOLUTION

Forces P and F acting along the bars shown in

Fig. P-327 maintain equilibrium of pin A.
Determine the values of P and F.

CONCURRENT
A cylinder weighing 400 lb is held against a
smooth incline by means of the weightless rod
AB in Fig. P-309. Determine the forces P and N
exerted on the cylinder by the rod and the
incline.
SOLUTION
NONCONCURRENT
Compute the total reactions at A and B on
thetruss shown in Fig. P
354.

SOLUTION

PARALLEL
The roof truss in Fig. P-335 is supported by a
roller at A and a hinge at B. Find the values of
the reactions.

SOLUTION

FRICTION
The 2225-N block shown in Fig. P-507 is in
contact with 45° incline. The coefficient of
static friction is 0.25. Compute the value of the
horizontal force P necessary to (a) just start the
block up the incline or (b) just prevent motion
down the incline. (c) If P = 1780 N, what is the
amount and direction of the friction force?
