1. For the forces as shown in the figure compute the magnitude of
the equilibrant. (Answer: R=35.36 N) 4. Determine the resultant moment about point O. (Answer:
Moment Resultant at point O = -1253.55 N-m)

2. The force of 500 N is the resultant of the forces P and 250 N acting
as shown in the figure. Compute the following:
(a) the angle Ө that the 500 N makes with the horizontal,
(b)the value of α; and 5. Each square in the grid is 0.50 m x 0.50 m in dimensions. Force F
(c) the value of P = 2025 N and a force H=1000 N. Find the moments of each force
(Answer: θ=53.130, α=83.160, P=503.79 KN) about the points A, B, C, and D.
Answer:
For the force F,
About Point A: -2,268.83 N-m About Point B: 452.57 N-m
About Point C: 4075.57 N-m About Point D: 2265.92 N-m
For the force H,
About Point A: 949.36 N-m About Point B: -1898.75 N-m
About Point C: -1265.83 N-m About Point D: 1740.51 N-m

3. The block as shown in the figure is acted upon by its weight


W=200 Ib, a horizontal force Q=600 lb, and the pressure P exerted
by the inclined plane. The resultant R of these forces is up and
parallel to the incline thereby sliding the block up to it. Determine
P and R.
(Answer: P=489.9 lb R = 292.82 lb)
