    This document contains the solutions to 4 structural mechanics problems involving calculating the magnitudes and inclinations of resultant forces and determining support reactions in beams. Problem 1 involves finding the resultant of two forces graphically and numerically. Problem 2 does the same for a system of concurrent forces. Problem 3 calculates the resultant of non-concurrent forces. Problem 4 determines the support reactions in 4 beam configurations.

    Sheet 1 - Solutions

    Problem 1. Determine the magnitude and inclination of the resultant of the two force acting at the point
    O in Figure 1 (a) by graphical method and (b) by calculation

    (a) Vectors representing the 10 and 15 kN forces are drawn to a suitable scale as shown. Parallel
    vectors AC and BC are then drawn to intersect at C. The resultant is the vector OC which is
    21.8 kN at an angle of 23.4 to the 15 kN force.

    (b)

    𝑅! = 15! + 10! + 2 × 15 × 10 cos 60

    which gives

    𝑅 = 21.8 𝑘𝑁

    Also

    10 sin 60
    tan 𝜃 =
    15 + 10 cos 60

    𝜃 = 23.4°

    Problem 2. Determine the magnitude and inclination of the resultant of the system of concurrent forces
    shown in Figure 2 (a) by graphical method and (b) by calculation.

    Initially the forces are resolved into vertical and horizontal components as shown

    Then
    Now taking moments about the x axis
    𝑅" 𝑦̄ = 35.4 × 0.5 − 20.0 × 1.25 + 69.3 × 1.6
    which gives
    𝑦̄ = 1.22 𝑚
    Also, from Figure
    𝑅" = 69.3 + 35.4 − 20.0 = 84.7𝑘𝑁
    𝑅# = 60 + 40 + 34.6 − 35.4 = 99.2𝑘𝑁

    Sheet 1 - Solutions

    Now taking moments about the y axis


    𝑅# 𝑥̄ = 40.0 × 1.0 + 60.0 × 1.25 − 34.6 × 1.0
    so that
    𝑥̄ = 0.81 𝑚
    The resultant R is then given by
    𝑅! = 99.2! + 84.7!
    from which
    𝑅 = 130.4 𝑘𝑁
    Finally
    99.2
    𝜃 = tan$% = 49.5°
    84.7

    Problem 3. Calculate the magnitude, inclination, and point of action of the resultant of the system of
    non-concurrent forces shown. The coordinates of the points of action are given in meters.

    (a) The vectors do not have to be drawn in any particular order. The following figure shows the
    vector diagram with the vector representing the 10 kN force drawn first.

    The resultant R is then equal to 8.6 kN and makes an angle of 23.9◦ to the negative direction
    of the 10 kN force.

    (b) Resolving forces in the positive x direction


    𝐹" = 10 + 8 cos 60 − 12 cos 30 − 20 cos 55 = −7.9𝑘𝑁
    Then, resolving forces in the positive y direction
    𝐹# = 8 cos 30 + 12 cos 60 − 20 cos 35 = −3.5𝑘𝑁
    The resultant R is given by
    𝑅! = (−7.9)! + (−3.5)!
    𝑅 = 8.6 𝑘𝑁
    Also
    3.5
    tan 𝜃 =
    7.9
    𝜃 = 23.9

    Problem 4. Calculate the support reactions in the beams in Figure 4 (a)-(d).

    (a)
    ∑𝑀& = 0
    𝑅',) × 20 − 3 × 16 − 6.1 × 10
    − 5.7 × 5 = 0
    𝑅',) = 6.9 𝑘𝑁
    ∑𝐹# = 0
    𝑅&,) + 𝑅',) − 3 − 6.1 − 5.7 = 0
    𝑅&,) = 7.9 𝑘𝑁
    ∑𝐹" = 0
    𝑅',* − 3.5 − 5.7 = 0
    so that
    𝑅',* = 9.2 𝑘𝑁
