TUTORIAL SHEET-1
[System of forces and resultant (Concurrent
forces)]
1.

State and explain parallelogram law.

2.

Two forces are applied at the point A of a hook


support as shown in figure. Determine the
magnitude and direction of the resultant force
by the trigonometric method using (i)
parallelogram law, and (ii) triangle law.

3.

The two forces P and Q act on a bolt as shown


in Fig. Determine their resultant.

4.

The 200-N force is to be resolved into


components along lines a-a and b-b. (a)
Determine the angle using trigonometry
knowing that the component along a-a is to
be 150 N. (b) What is the corresponding value
of the component along b-b?

5.

Determine the x and y components of each of


the forces shown.

6.

Member BD exerts on member ABC a force P


directed along line BD. Knowing that P must
have a 960-N vertical component, determine
(a) the magnitude of the force P, (b) its
horizontal component.

7.

The end of boom O as shown in figure is


subjected to three concurrent forces.
Determine the magnitude and direction of the
resultant force.

8.

Knowing that = 65, determine the resultant


of the three forces shown.

9.

For the block of Problem 8 above, determine (a) the required value of if the resultant of the
three forces shown is to be parallel to the incline, (b) the corresponding magnitude of the
resultant.

10
.

An irregularly shaped machine component is


held in the position shown by three clamps.
Knowing that FA = 940 N, determine the
magnitudes of the forces FB and FC exerted
by the other two clamps.
