A force of 100 N acting horizontally to the right is to be


combined with another one of 50 N acting upward and to
the right at an angle of 15o with the vertical. Determine the
magnitude of the resultant force.

MECHANICS 1

Three forces of 1050 lbs, 700 lbs, and 500 lbs are acting
upon a small boat on a lake. The first force acts due south,
the second force acts due west and the third acts 60o west of
south. Determine the magnitude of the resultant force.

A 120-kg mail bag hangs by a vertical rope 3.5 m long. A


postal worker then displaces the bag to a position 2 m
sideways from its original position, always keeping the rope
taut. What horizontal force is necessary to hold the bag in
the new position?

A 30-lb block is pulled at constant speed up a frictionless


inclined plane by a weight of 10 lbs hanging from a cord
attached to the block and passing over a frictionless pulley
at the top of the plane. Determine the normal force exerted
on the block by the plane.

A 1000-lb weight is suspended from a wooden boom which


has a weight of 200 lbs. the boom is supported by a cable
at one end inclined 40o from the boom. Determine the force
exerted by the boom on the wall.

The load on a 36-in simply supported beam decreases


uniformly from 45 lb/in to 15 lb/in, left to right. Determine
the reaction on the right side support.

A 1200-lb sled is pulled along a horizontal surface at


uniform speed by means of a rope that makes an angle of
30o above the horizontal. If the tension in the rope is 100 lbs,
what is the coefficient of friction?

A 10-lb block is placed in a plane inclined from the


horizontal. Determine the magnitude of the horizontal force P
required to prevent the block from sliding down the plane if
the coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is
0.15.

A 600-N block rests on a 30o incline. If the coefficient of


friction is 0.20, what is the value of the force P applied
horizontally to keep the block moving up the plane.

Four turns of rope wrapped around a horizontal post will


hold a 1000-lb weight with a pull of 10-lbs. Find the
coefficient of friction between the rope and the post.

Determine the number of turns of rope to be wound around


the trunk of a tree in order to support a man weighing 600
N in pan with a force of 10 N. Take = 0.20.
