Instruction: Analyze and solve each problem. Write your final answers on answer sheet provided.

Problem # 1: A force of 105 N is applied at O. Determine its component forces along n and y axes. Also calculate
the component forces along x and t axes. ( 12 % )

Problem # 2: For the structures loaded as shown, calculate the moment produced by forces about points A, B
and C. The uniform load in ( a ) is perpendicular to the inclined member. Each square in ( b ) has a dimension of
1 m x 1 m. ( 30 % )
(a)
(b)

Problem # 3: The tower is held in place by three cables AB, AC, and AD. Another force of 440 lb is applied at A
parallel to the X-axis. The force acting in each cable is shown. Determine the magnitude of the resultant force
and its coordinate direction angles with respect to +Y and +X axes. ( 20 % )

Problem # 4: Determine the components of forces F and P along the X-Y axes which are parallel and perpendicular
to the incline. ( 16 % )
Problem # 5: The magnitude and position of the resultant force R = 64 lb lies along the u axis as shown. Determine
the values of F and its direction θ. ( 12 % )

Problem # 6: The three forces shown create a vertical resultant that passed through point O. Determine the
values of P and Q. Each square has a dimension of 1 m x 1 m. ( 10 % )
