#2.28 given that T=28.

3kN and W=25kN, determine the magnitude and sense of the moments about
point b of the following: (a) the force T: (b) the force W: and (c) force T and combined.

#2.29 a moment of 80N.m about O is required to loosen the nut. Determine the smallest magnitude
of the force f and the corresponding angle that will turn the nut.

#3.56 find the resultant of three forces acting on the eye bolt.

#3.57 the resultant of the force system shown is a 50-N.m counterclockwise couple. Find P, Q, and C.

#2.25 the man exerts a force P of magnitude 250N on the handles of the wheel barrow. Knowing that
the resultant of the force P, Q (the reaction at the wheel), and W (weight reaction of the barrow) is
the force R=50iN, determine w.

#2.16 the three forces acting on the beam can be related with a single equivalent force R. determine
the angle and R.

#2.2 two men are trying to roll the boulder by applying the force shown. Determine the magnitude
and direction of the force that is equivalent to the two applied forces.

#2.3 the magnitude of the three forces applied to the eye bolt are T1=550 N, T2=220 N, and
T3=750N. Replace these forces with a single equivalent force R. show the result on a sketch of the
eye bolt.
