1. Determine the resultant of coplanar forces A (20N), B (40N), C (60N) acting at 30˚, 150˚ and 240˚
respectively.
2. Find the resultant of the forces A (100N), B (120N), C (90N), D(75 N) acting at 45˚, 75˚, 135˚ and
225˚ respectively.
3. Determine the force that must be added to the four forces shown in Fig. 3 to make the resultant
force zero.
4. Determine the resultant of the forces acting on a bracket shown in Fig. 4
5. Determine the resultant of the forces, moment of all the forces and that of the resultant about
point O. What do you infer from the end results?
