Q.4) What is the difference between Moment and Couple?

Q.5) Write in increasing order of Coefficient of Static Friction, Kinematic Friction and
Rolling Friction according to their magnitudes.

Q.6) How many number of available equilibrium equations required for solving following
system and also mention those equations.
a) Coplanar and Concurrent
b) Coplanar and Non Concurrent
c) Non Coplanar Non Concurrent

Q.7) Give the practical example for the following types of load
a) Concentrated Load
b) Uniformly Distributed Load
c) Couple

Q.8) How many number of support reactions will develop in case of simply supported beam
(left support hinge and right roller) subjected to inclined load.

Q.9) Cable is always subjected to tension only. Whether this statement is true or not?

Q.10) A particle is subjected three coplanar and concurrent forces, out of three forces one is
acting towards the particle and remaining two away from particle. State whether Lamis
Theory is applicable or not.

Q.11) Calculate the developed frictional force between the block and ground surface from the
fig.
