    1. The component of force F acting along line aa is required to be 30 lb.

    Determine the magnitude


    of F and its component along line bb. (2 pts)

    2. Refer to the figure below. If the resultant of the three forces A, B, and C is 3.6 kN and it acts
    along the y-axis, what is the angle, θ? (2 pts)

    3. As shown, a cylindrical drum 2 m in radius and weighing 1,200 N is held by a rigid bar AB. One
    end of the bar (point A) is hinged and the other end (point B) is supported by a flexible cable BC.
    Neglect friction on all contact surfaces. Solve for the tension in the cable. (4 pts)
    4. The man attempts to pull the log at C by using the three ropes. Determine the direction θ in
    which he should pull on his rope with a force of 80 lb, so that he exerts a maximum force on the
    log. (5 pts)

    5. The gusset plate is subjected to the forces of four members. Determine the force in member B
    and its proper orientation u for equilibrium. The forces are concurrent at point O. Take F = 12
    kN. (4 pts)
    6. If cable AB is subjected to a tension of 700 N, determine the tension in cables AC and AD and the
    magnitude of the vertical force F. (5 pts)

    7. The 80-lb chandelier is supported by three wires as shown. Determine the force in each wire for
    equilibrium. (3 pts)
    8. Determine the moment about point B of each of the three forces acting on the beam. (3 pts)

    9. The force F = {600i + 300j - 600k} N acts at the end of the beam. Determine the moment of the
    force about point A. (3 pts)

    10. Replace the loading with a single resultant force, and specify the location of the force measured
    from point O. (3 pts)
    11. Wet concrete exerts a pressure distribution along the wall of the form. Determine the resultant
    force of this distribution and specify the height h where the bracing strut should be placed so
    that it lies through the line of action of the resultant force. The wall has a width of 5 m. (3 pts)

    12. The rigid beam of negligible weight is supported horizontally by two springs and a pin. If the
    springs are uncompressed when the load is removed, determine the force in each spring when
    the load P is applied. Also, compute the vertical deflection of end C. Assume the spring stiffness
    k is large enough so that only small deflections occur. Hint: The beam rotates about A so the
    deflections in the springs can be related. (3 pts)

    13. The ramp of a ship has a weight of 200 lb and a center of gravity at G. Determine the cable force
    in CD needed to just start lifting the ramp, (i.e., so the reaction at B becomes zero). Also,
    determine the horizontal and vertical components of force at the hinge (pin) at A. (4 pts)
    14. Determine the x, y, and z components of the reaction at the fixed wall A. The 150-N force is
    parallel to the z-axis and the 200-N force is parallel to the y axis. (3 pts)

    15. If the roller at B can sustain a maximum load of 3 kN, determine the largest magnitude of each
    of the three forces F that can be supported by the truss. (3 pts)
