Assignment-2 (concurrent forces)

Q1. A string ABCD, attached to fixed points A and D has two equal weights of 1000 N attached
to it at B and C. The weights rest with the portions AB and CD inclined at angles as shown in
Figure.

Ans: TAB=1732 N, TBC=1000 N, TCD=1000 N

Q2. A system of connected flexible cables shown in given Figure is supporting two vertical
forces 200 N and 250 N at points B and D. Determine the forces in various segments of
the cable.

Ans:
T1= 224.41 N,
T2= 183.01 N
T3= 336.60 N
T4= 326.79 N

Q3. A wire is fixed at two points A and D as shown in given Figure Two weights 20 kN and
25 kN are supported at B and C, respectively. When equilibrium is reached it is found that
inclination of AB is 30° and that of CD is 60° to the vertical. Determine the tension in the
segments AB, BC and CD of the rope and also the inclination of BC to the vertical.

Ans:
T3=22.5 kN
T1=38.9 kN
θ = 64.78º
T2=23.84 kN

Q4. A sphere of weight 100 N is tied to a smooth wall by a string as


shown in Fig. Find the tension T in the string and reaction R of the
wall.

Ans:
T=103.53 N
R= 26.79 N
Q5. A roller of weight 10 kN rests on a smooth
horizontal floor and is connected to the floor
by the bar AC as shown in Figure. Determine
the force in the bar AC and reaction from
floor, if the roller is subjected to a horizontal
force of 5 kN and an inclined force of 7 kN
as shown in the figure.

Ans: TAC= 0.058 kN, R=14.97 kN

Q 6. A 600 N cylinder is supported by the frame BCD as shown in given Figure. The frame
is hinged at D. Determine the reactions at A, B, C and D.

Ans:
RB=600 N
RD=632.45 N
RA=RC=200 N

Q7. A smooth circular cylinder of radius 1.5 meter is lying in a triangular groove, one side
of which makes 15° angle and the other 40° angle with the horizontal. Find the reactions
at the surfaces of contact, if there is no friction and the cylinder weights 100 N.

Ans:
RA=78.5 N
RB= 31.6 N
