Assignment No. 1

This document contains 10 questions regarding force vectors and force resultants. Question 1 asks to find values of P and α that result in a 900N force directed downward. Question 2 asks to write force P in vector notation and find its component along direction CA. Question 3 asks to find the resultant of forces shown in Figure 3. Question 4 asks to determine a resultant using the method of components and graphical polygon method. The remaining questions involve additional force vector and resultant problems and diagrams.

Q.6] To move a boat uniformly along a canal at a given speed requires a resultant force R = 1780 N. This is accomplished
by two horses pulling with forces P and Q on two ropes, as shown in Fig.6. If the angles that the two ropes make with
the axis of the canal are β = 35ο and γ = 25ο. What are corresponding tension in ropes?

Q.7] Three forces are applied to a body as shown in Fig.7. The direction of two 100 N forces may vary, but the angle
between the forces is always 30°. Determine the value of α for which the resultant of the forces acting at A is directed
horizontally to the left if P = 250 N.
Q.8] A barge is pulled by two tugboats. If the resultant of the forces exerted by the tugboats is 5000 N directed along the
axis of barge, Find

b) the value of α for which the tension in rope 2 is a minimum
(Fig. 8).
