1. Determine the resultant R of the two forces

applied to the bracket and its direction measured
counter clockwise from x’-axis. (x’ and y’ are
horizontal and vertical axes)

3. It is 4. In
desir the figure shown, the x-component of P is
e d to 895N.Determine P and its y-component. The given
remo slope is relative to H and V axes.
v e the
spike

the
timbe
r by
applying force along its horizontal axis. An
obstruction A prevents direct access, so that two
forces, one 400 lb and the other P, are applied by
cables as shown. Compute the magnitude of P
necessary to ensure a resultant T directed along the
spike. Also find T.

5. Determine the magnitude and direction
measured counterclockwise from the positive x-
axis of the resultant force for the three forces
acting on the
ring A. take F1 = 500N and θ = 20°.
6. The man exerts a force P of magnitude 250N on
the handles of the wheelbarrow. Knowing that the
resultant of the forces P,Q (reaction of the wheel),
and W ( the weight of the wheelbarrow) is the
resultant force R = 50N acting horizontally.
Determine W.
 Moment of a force
7. The 30-N force P is applied perpendicular to the
portion BC of the bent bar. Determine the
moment of P about point B and about point A.
8. For the truss shown, compute the perpendicular
distance from A and from F to the line BD. (Hint:
Imagine a force P directed along BD and
compute its moment in terms of its components
about A and about F. Then equate these results
to the definition of moment M = Fd to compute
the required perpendicular distances.)
