Part – A

1. State parallelogram law of forces.

2. State polygon law of forces.
3. Two forces 30N and 40N act at a point ‘O’. The included
angle between them is 60º. Find the magnitude and the
direction of the resultant.
4. State necessary and sufficient conditions for equilibrium of
a particle in two dimensions.
5. What is coplanar force system?

Part –B

1. An eye bolt is being pulled from ground by three forces as

shown in figure. Determine the equilibrant on the eye bolt
which resist to come out.
2. Determine the force P applied at 30º to the horizontal just
necessary to start a roller having radius 50 cm over a
obstruction 12 cm high, if roller is of mass 100 kg, shown in
figure. Also find the magnitude and direction of P when it is
minimum.
