Assignment 1 PDF

1. This document contains a 10 question static mechanics practice problem set from the second semester of the 1391-1390 academic year for the Biomedical Engineering department. The problems involve calculating forces, moments, and couples for various physical systems. 2. Problem 1 asks the student to find the magnitude and direction of the resultant of two forces. Problem 2 involves resolving a force into components. Problem 3 requires writing the vector expression for tension in a cable. 3. The remaining problems involve calculating minimum and maximum forces, projections of forces, equivalent force-couple systems, moments of forces about axes, resultant moments of couples, and variations in moment arms with angle changes.

AB and AC, and compute the magnitude of each component.

2 = 45 deg
F = 350 lb

9. Three couples are formed by the three pairs of equal and opposite forces. Determine the resultant M of the three
couples.

10. The trap door OA is raised by the cable AB which passes over the small guide pulleys at B. The tension everywhere
in the cable is T, and this tension applied at A causes a moment Mo about the hinge at O. Plot the quantity Mo/T , which
is the moment arm relative to O of the tension applied at A, as a function of the door angle for the range 0 90.
Determine the maximum and minimum values of the moment arm over this range of .
