This document contains an assignment for a Statics course with 8 practice problems involving determining resultant forces of multiple concurrent forces. The problems involve calculating magnitudes and directions of resultant forces given individual force magnitudes and angles between forces. They also include problems resolving a single force into components parallel and perpendicular to structural elements.

Assignment [1]

Due: September 23 - 2013

Problem (1)

Determine the magnitude of the resultant force FR = F1 + F2 and its direction, measured

counterclockwise from the positive x axis. Given: F1 = 300 lb, F2 = 500 lb, = 30 , = 45 .

Problem (2)

A resultant force of 800 lb is necessary to hold the balloon in place. Resolve this force
into components along the tether lines AB and AC, and compute the magnitude of each

component. Use 1 = 30 , 2 = 45 .

Problem (3)

The beam is to be hoisted using two chains. Determine the magnitudes of forces FA and FB
acting on each chain in order to develop a resultant force T = 1000 N directed along the positive

y axis. Use: = 20 , 1 = 40 .

Problem (4)

Determine the magnitude of force F so that the resultant FR of the three forces is minimum.

What is the minimum magnitude of FR? Given: F1 = 4KN - F2 = 2KN - = 30 .

Problem (5)

Three forces act on the ring. Determine the range of values for the magnitude of P so that
the magnitude of the resultant force does not exceed 5000 N. Force P is always directed to the

right. Given: F1 = 2500N, F2 = 1000N - 1 = 60 - 2 = 45 .

Problem (6) :

The mast is subjected to the three forces shown. Determine the coordinate angles 1, 1,
1 of F1 so that the resultant force (FR = 800N ) acting on the mast is along the +ve x-axis.
Given: F1 = 600N, F2 = 200N F3 = 300N .

Problem (7) :

Three concurrent forces act on the ring. If each has a magnitude of 100 N, express each
force as a Cartesian vector and find the resultant force.

Problem (8) :

Determine the magnitudes of the two components of the 600N force, one directed along
the cable Ache other along the axis of strut AB.
