GE 204 – ENGINEERING MECHANICS

ASSIGNMENT – 1

I YEAR B.E. ‘H’ SECTION


Instructor: K.M.Basanth Babu, M.S.,M.E.,(Struct)(Distn.,)
Lecturer/Civil/MSEC/Sivakasi

1. Two spherical shells rest between 2 vertical


faces as shown. The radius of the smaller
shell is 10cm and its weight is 36N and the
radius of the larger shell is 15cm and its
weight is 120N. The distance between the 2
faces is 45cm. Find the magnitude of the
reactions at A, B, C and D.
[Ans: 160N, 200N, 160N, 157.5N]

2. A crane shown in the figure is required to lift a load W =


10 KN. Find the forces in the members AB and CB.
[Ans: 27.4KN, 19.4KN]

3. A load W = 300 N is supported at A by a


system of 4 cords as shown in the figure
below. Determine the force in each cord
for equilibrium.
[Ans:
TAB=340N, TAE =
170 N, TBD = 490
N, TBC = 562
N]

4. A load Q is applied to the pulley C, which


can roll on the cable ACB. The pulley is
held in the position shown by a second
cable CAD, which passes over the pulley A
2

and supports a load P. Knowing P = 750 N, determine the magnitude of Q


and the tension in the cable ACB.

5. Two cables are tied together at C and are loaded


as shown. Determine the tension (a) in cable AC
(b) in cable BC.

6. Knowing that  =20o, determine


the tension in cable AC and rope
BC.

7. Two cables are tied together at C and


are loaded as shown. Knowing at 
=20o, determine the tension in cable AC
and BC.

8. Determine the tension in the


cables AB and AC.
