ASSIGNMENT-1

SUBJECT-ENGINEERING MECHANICS
Q.1. A uniform wheel of 60 cm diameter and weighing 1000N rests against a rectangular block 15 cm
high lying on a horizontal plane as shown in figure. It is to be pulled over this block by a horizontal
force P applied to the end of a string would round the circumference of the wheel. Find the force P
when the wheel is just about to roll over the block.
Q.2. Two cylinders A and B rest in a horizontal channel as shown in figure. The cylinder A has a weight
of 1000 N and radius of 9.0 cm. The cylinder B has a weight of 400 N and a radius of 5 cm. The channel
is 18 cm wide at the bottom with one side vertical. The other side is inclined at an angle 600 with the
horizontal. Find the reactions.
Q.3. A bar 2 m long and of negligible weight rests in horizontal position on two smooth inclined planes.
Determine the distance x at which the load Q = 100 N should be placed from point B to keep the bar
horizontal.
Q.4. Two bars AB and CD of lengths 1 m and 2 m and weights 100 N and 200 N respectively are rigidly
joined at B and suspended by a string AO as shown in fig. Find the inclination θ of bar BC to the
horizontal when the system is in equilibrium.

Q.5. A crane is pivoted at the end B and is supported by a guide at A. Determine the reaction
produced at A and B by a vertical load W=5kN applied at C.

Q.6. Three identical right circular cylinders A, B & C, each of weight W are arranged on smooth inclined
surfaces as shown. Determine the least value of angle that will prevent the arrangement from
collapsing.
Q.7. A bar AB of weight 1 kN is hinged to a vertical wall at A and supported at the end B by a cable BD.
Find the tension in the cable and the magnitude and direction of reaction at the hinge.
Q.8. A rigid bar AB is supported in a vertical plane by a hinge at the end A and by a horizontal string
attached to the bar as shown. The end B of the bar carries a load of W Newton. Find the tensile force
in the string. Neglect the weight of the bar.
