Q.1 Resolve analytically the force F2 into components acting along the u & v axes and
determine the magnitude of the components. Solve problem
also by using graphical method.

Q.2 Determine analytically & graphically the magnitude

of the resultant force acting on the pin & its direction
measured clockwise from the positive x-axis.
