ASSIGNMENT – I

RESOLUTION AND COMPOSITION OF FORCES

1. Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant of the concurrent forces of 8 N, 12 N, 15N
and 20 N making angles of 30°, 70°, 120°.25 and 155° respectively with a fixed line.

[Ans.39.5 N ; 111.7°]

2. Find magnitude of the resultant force, if 30, 40, 50 and 60 N forces are acting along the lines
joining the centre of a square to its vertices.

[Ans.28.3 N]

3. Four forces of 25 N, 20 N, 15 N and 10 N are acting simultaneously along straight lines OA,
OB, OC and OD such that ∠ AOB= 45°; ∠ BOC= 100° and ∠ COD= 125°.
Find graphically magnitude and direction of the resultant force. Also check the answer
analytically.

[Ans.29.5 N ; 25.4° with OA]

4. The following forces act at a point :


(i) 20 N inclined at 30° towards North of East.
(ii) 25 N towards North.
(iii) 30 N towards North West and
(iv) 35 N inclined at 40° towards South of West.

Find the magnitude and direction of the resultant foce.
