Question 1
Two coplanar forces of 120 N and 90 N act at right angles to each other at a point. What is the magnitude of their resultant?
Correct Answer:
150 N
Question 2
Three concurrent coplanar forces are in equilibrium. Two of them are 40 N due east and 30 N due north. What must the third force (the equilibrant) be?
Correct Answer:
50 N at arctan(3/4) south of west
Question 3
A force of 250 N acts perpendicular to a lever arm of 0.80 m. What is the moment of the force about the fulcrum?
Correct Answer:
200 N·m
Question 4
A simply supported beam AB is 6.0 m long and carries a concentrated load of 12 kN at 2.0 m from A. Neglecting self-weight, what are the support reactions at A and B?
Correct Answer:
RA = 8.0 kN, RB = 4.0 kN
Question 5
A force of 80 N acts at 30° to the horizontal. What are its horizontal and vertical components (to 1 decimal place)?
Correct Answer:
Hx = 69.3 N, Vy = 40.0 N
