PROBLEM NO. 1
The 16-ft wing of an airplane is subjected to a lift which
varies from zero at the tip to 360 lb per ft at the
fuselage according to w = 90x1/2 lb per ft where x is
measured from the tip. Compute the resultant and its
location from the wing tip. RESULTANT

PROBLEM NO. 2
The shaded area in Fig P-240 represents a steel plate of uniform thickness. A hole of
4-in.diameter has been cut in the plate. Locate the center of gravity the plate.
 Hint: The weight of the plate is equivalent to the weight of the original plate minus
the weight of material cut away. Represent the original plate weight of plate by a
downward force acting at the center of the 10 ×14 in. rectangle. Represent the
weight of the material cut away by an upward force acting at thecenter of the circle.
Locate the position of the resultant of these two forces with respect to the leftedge
and bottom of the plate.
