Determine the resultant of the system of forces shown and its location from A.

Ans. R = 180 N MA = 364 Nm and dA = 2.022 m

2.
Ans. R = 100 N MA = 270 Nm ( counterclockwise ) d = 2.7 m

3. Locate the resultant of the system of forces shown from A.

Ans. R = 190 MA = 1400 kN m dA = 7.368 m

4.

Ans. R = 3300 MA = 19,200 Nm dA = 5.818 m

5. Given the system of loading shown. Find the equivalent point load and its location from A.
a. w(x) = 4x2 + x3 N/m Ans. R = 3833.33 N dA = 7.826 m

b. w(x) =5 + 4 sin ⁡¿ x) N/m Ans. R = 50 N dA = 3.727

c. w(0) = 1 w(1.2) = 2 w(2.4) = 5 and w(x) = A + Bx + Cx 2

Ans. R = 241.43 N and dA = 7.4
