ENGG1300 Engineering Mechanics Statics Workshop 2

QUESTION 1:

The force F1 = 50 N. The vector sum of the forces is zero F1 + F2 + F3 =0. What is the sum of the
moments of the forces about point C?

QUESTION 2:

Determine the horizontal and vertical components of reaction at the pin A and the tension developed in
the cable BC used to support the steel frame.
QUESTION 3:

Three concurrent forces act on a bracket. 1) Determine the magnitude of the resultant force. 2)
Determine the direction of the resultant force, measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis.

F1=800 N

F2=600 N F3=1000 N

QUESTION 4:

If ∅=30° and 𝐹2 = 3𝑘𝑁 , determine the magnitude of the

resultant force acting on the plate and its direction 𝜃 measured
clockwise from the positive 𝑥 axis.

QUESTION 5:

If the magnitude for the resultant force acting on the plate is

required to be 6 kN and its direction measured clockwise from
the positive 𝑥 axis is 𝜃 = 30° , determine the magnitude of
𝐹2 and its direction ∅ .
QUESTION 6:
