Chapter 1 – Resultants of Force System

1.) Completely determine the resultant with respect to point 0 of the force system
shown in figure 1.

2.) Replace the system of forces shown in figure 2 by an equivalent force through 0 and
a couple acting through A and B. Solve if the forces of the couple are (a.) horizontal
and (b.) vertical.

3.) Resultant of a certain system of forces has the X and Y components shown in figure
3. Determine the components of this resultant with respect to the H and Y axes
rotated 30 degrees counterclockwise relative to the X and Y axes.

4.) Compute the value of the resultant of the resultant of the concurrent forces shown
in figure 4.

5.) A concurrent force system is shown in figure 5. Determine the resultant.

6.) Two cylinders A and B, weighing 100lb and 200lb respectively, are connected by a
rigid rod curved parallel to the smooth cylindrical surface shown in figure 6.
Determine the angle α and θ that defined the position of equilibrium.
