    INSTRUCTIONS. Listed below are the guidelines to


    follow when performing your detailed solutions.
    Failure to comply with those requirements will be
    given a corresponding deduction.

    a. Use long (8.5” x 13”) bond paper.


    b. Show all the pertinent solutions on the
    following problems. Include necessary
    figures/illustrations/diagrams.
    3. The force R is the resultant of the forces
    c. Use italics in expressing scalars while
    P1, P2, and P3 acting on the rectangular
    boldface for vectors.
    plate. Find P1 and P2 if R = 40 kN and P3 =
    d. Watch out for the proper units for every
    20 kN.
    required quantity.
    e. Express your answers in 4 decimal places.
    f. Collaborating with other students will be
    permitted but the presentation of the
    activity should be individually performed.

    1. The two tugboats apply the forces P and Q


    to the barge, where P = 76 kN and Q = 52
    kN. Determine the resultant of P and Q
    using parallelogram law.

    4. The magnitude of the force Q is 250 N.


    Determine the moments of Q about (a)
    point O; and (b) point C.

    2. The vertical post is secured by three


    cables. The cables are pre-tensioned so
    that the resultant of the cable forces F, Q,
    and P is directed along the z-axis. If F =
    120 lb, find P and Q.
    5. The moment of the force F about the x- 8. Two cable tensions and a couple act on
    axis is 1080 m.N. Determine the moment the rod OAB. Determine the equivalent
    of F about the axis AB. force-couple system with the force acting
    at O.

    6. Determine the combined moment of the


    couple C and the force P about the axis
    AB. Use C = 80 m.N and P = 400 N.

    9. The resultant of the three cable tensions


    acts along the y-direction. Determine T1
    and T3 given that T2 = 980 lb.

    7. Replace the force and the couple shown


    by an equivalent force-couple system with
    the force acting at (a) at point B; and (b) 10. Referring on the figure on item (9),
    point D. determine the resultant of the three cable
    tensions that act on the horizontal boom if
    T1 = 900 lb, T2 = 500 lb, and T3 = 300 lb.
