Engineering Science Exam Questions

The document contains a 10 question exam on engineering science concepts like forces, moments, and force resolution. Question 3 asks students to find the weight of a 2.5 kg lamp supported by two ropes at angles of 30 and 45 degrees, and the tension in each rope. Question 4 asks students to find the resultant force and direction acting on an ocean liner being towed by two tugs exerting forces of 12 kN and 10 kN at an angle of 60 degrees. Question 5 asks students to calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant force from a system of forces exerted at various angles.
