CO 3: Determine reactions of beams, calculate forces in cables using principles of equilibrium

Q. Question Marks Bloom’s

No. Level
1 What is the magnitude and position of force F so that the force 4 1
system shown in fig. maintains equilibrium.

2 The rope BC will fail when the tension becomes 50 KN as shown in 4 1

Fig. What will be the greatest load P that can be applied to the
beam At B and reaction at A for equilibrium?

3 The four wheels of a locomotive produce vertical forces on the 4 1

horizontal girder AB. Find the reactions Ra and Rb at the supports if
the loads P = 90 KN each and Q = 72 KN (All dimensions are in
m).

4 Find the support reactions for beam AB loaded and supported as 4 1

shown in fig.
5 Find the magnitude of the resultant and its location with respect to 4 1
origin O as shown in Fig.
