01. If R is the resultant of the forces P and Q, find P and Q.

FINAL ANSWER/S:
02. Compute A x B and C x B for the position vectors shown.

FINAL ANSWER/S:
03. Calculate the resultant of the concurrent forces acting on the gusset plate of a bridge truss as shown. Express its
direction in acute angle measured from x-axis.

FINAL ANSWER/S:
04. The resultant of the concurrent forces acting on the bracket shown is 800 N acting along the u-axis. Find the
magnitude of the force F and its direction θ.

FINAL ANSWER/S:
05. The magnitudes of the three concurrent forces acting on the plate are T1 = 100 kN, T2 =80 kN, and T3
= 50 kN. Determine the resultant force R acting on the plate. Express your answer in rectangular form.
Also, find the coordinates of the point where R intersects the plate.

FINAL ANSWER/S:
06. The resultant R of the concurrent forces F, T, and Q acting on the screw eye has the magnitude and direction
shown. Determine the force Q. Express your answer in rectangular form.
