This document contains instructions and questions for a mechanics exam. It includes the following questions:
1. Explain the differences between non-coplanar concurrent forces and non-coplanar non-concurrent forces with examples. Also state Lami's theorem and the differences between perfect, deficient, and redundant frames. Finally, define when a body is in equilibrium.
2. Determine the normal and parallel components of a 20 kN block resting on an inclined plane at 30 degrees.
3. Calculate the reactions at two contact surfaces for a 100 kN sphere resting in a trough.
4. Calculate the support reactions and bending moments at various points for a simply supported beam loaded with a distributed
