1. Two forces act at angle of 120o. The greater is represented by 80 and the resultant is at right angles to the
less. Find the latter.
2. If one of two forces be double the other and the resultant be equal to the greater force, find the angle between
the forces.
3. Two forces acting on a particle are at right angles and are balanced by a third force making an angle of 150o
with one of them. The greater of two forces being 3 newton weight, what must be the values of the other two?

4. The resultant of two forces acing at an angle equal to ds of a right angle is perpendicular to the smaller
3
component. The greater being equal to 30 newton. Weight, find the other component and the resultant.
5. The magnitudes of two forces are as 3 : 5, and the direction of the resultant is at right to that of the smaller
foces; compare the magnitudes of the larger force and of the resultant.
6. The sum of two forces is 18, and the resultant, whose direction is perpendicular to the lesser of the two
forces, is 12; find the magnitude of the forces.
7. If two forces P and Q act at such an angle that R = P, show that, if P be doubles, the new resultant is at right
angles to Q.

8. The resultant of two forces P and Q is equal to 3Q and makes an anlge of 30o with the direction of P; show
that P is either equal to, or isdoubvled of , Q.
9. Two forces equal to 2P and P respectively act on a particle; if the first be doubled and the second increased
by 12 newton. Weight the direction of the resueltant is unaltered; find the value of P.

10. The resultant of two forces P and Q acting at an angle  is equal to  2m  1 P 2  Q 2 ; when they act at an

m 1
angle 90o   , the resultant is  2m  1 P 2  Q 2 ; prove that tan  
m 1
11. The resultant of forces P and Q is R; if Q be doubled R is doubled whilst, if Q be reversed, R is again
doubled; show that P : Q : R :: 2 : 3 : 2 .

12. If the resultant, R of two forces P and Q, inclined to one another at any given angle, make an angle  with the
direction of P, show that the resultant of forces (P + R) and Q, acting at the same given angle, will make an

angle with the direction of (P + R).

13. Three given forces acting at a point are in equilibrium. If one of them be turned about its point of application
through a given angle, find by a simple construction the resultant of the three, and, if the inclination of the force
continue to alter, show that the inclination of the resultant alters by half the amount.
14. Decompose a force, whose magnitude and line of action are given into two equal forces passing through two
given points, giving a geometrical construction, (I) when the two points are one the same side of the force, (2)
when they are on opposite sides.

15. Two given forces act at two given points of a body; if they are turned round those points in the same direction
through any two equal angles, show that their resultant will always pass through a fixed point.
16. A, B and C are three fixed points, and P is a point such that the resultant of forces PA and PB always passes
through C; show that the locus of P is a straight line.
17. A given force acting at a given point in a given direction is resolved into two components. If for all directions
of the components one remains of invariable magnitude, show that the extremity of the line representing the
other lies on a definite circle.
18. Show that the system of forces represented by the lines joining any point to the angular points of a triangle is
equivalent to the system represented by straight lines drawn from the same point to the middle points of the
sides of the triangle.
19. Find a point within a quadrilateral such that, if it be acted on by forces represented by the lines joining it the
angular points of the quadrilateral, it will be in equilibrium.
20. Four forces act along and are proportional to the sides of the quadrilateral ABCD; three act in the directions
AB, BC and CD and the fourth acts from A to D; find the magnitude and direction of their resultant, and
determine the point in which it meets CD.
21. The sides BC and DA of a quadrilateral ABCD are bisected in F and H respectively; show that if two forces
parallel and equal to AB and DC act on a particle, then the resultant is parallel to HF and equal to 2. HF.
22. The sides AB, BC, CD and DA of a quadrilateral ABCD are bisected at E, F, G, and H respectively. Show
that the resultant of the forces acting at a point which are represented in magnitude and direction by EG and
HF is represented in magnitude and direction by AC.

23. From a point P, within a circle whose centre is fixed, straight line PA1 , PA 2 , PA 3 and PA 4 are drawn to meet
the circumference, all being equally inclined to the radius through P; show that. if these lines represent forces
radiating from P, their resultant is independent of the magnitude of the radius of the circle.
