Engineering Mechanics Assignment No - 2 Module - 2 Equilibrium of Coplanar Forces

1. The document discusses problems involving the equilibrium of coplanar forces in engineering mechanics. It provides 6 problems involving determining support reactions, tensions in wires or chords, and forces in various structures based on given force diagrams and dimensions. The problems involve pipes, spheres, bars, beams, and rigid links supported under different loading conditions. 2. The problems require applying the principle of equilibrium of coplanar forces to solve for unknown forces and reactions based on the given force and support configurations. Dimensions, weights, and applied forces are provided to determine support reactions, tensions, and internal member forces. 3. Solving the problems involves setting up the appropriate equations of equilibrium and solving the resulting simultaneous equations to determine
