Q.N. 1 Determine the magnitude of the resultant force acting on the screw eye and its
direction measured clockwise from the x axis.

Q.N.2 Determine the magnitude of the resultant force and its direction measured
counterclockwise from the positive x axis.

Q.N. 3 If the resultant force of the two tugboats is required to be directed towards the
positive x axis and FB is to be a minimum, determine the magnitude of FR and
FB and the angle u.
Q.N. 4 Locate the centroid y of the beam’s cross-sectional area.

Q.N. 5 The members of a truss are pin connected at joint O . Determine the magnitude
of F1 and its angle u for equilibrium. Set F2 = 6 kN

Q.N. 6 The lift sling is used to hoist a container having a mass of 500 kg. Determine the force in each of the
cables AB and AC as a function of u. If the maximum tension allowed in each cable is 5 kN,
determine the shortest lengths of cables AB and AC that can be used for the lift. The center of
gravity of the container is located at G.
