Force and Moment

1 Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant of the two forces shown, using (a) the
parallelogram law (b) the sine law. [1391 N, 47.8°]

Figure 1 Figure 2

2 The force F of magnitude 1500 N is to be resolved into two components along line a-a and b-
b. Determine the angle α, knowing that the components of F along line a-a to be 1200 N.[α =
76.4°]
3 Determine the magnitude of the resultant force FR = F1 + F2 and its direction, measured
counterclockwise from the positive u axis. (Given: F1=300N, F2=500N, α=30°, β=45°,
γ=70°). [605N, 274.6°]

4 Resolve the force F2 into components acting along the u and v axes and determine the
components. Given: F1=25N, F2=50N, θ1=30°, θ2=30°, θ3=45°. [Fu=86.6N, Fv= -50N]
5 Three forces act on the bracket. Determine the magnitude and direction θ of F1 so that the
resultant force is directed along the positive x’ axis and has a magnitude of 800 N. [869 N,
21.3°]
