EM Question For Model Exam

This document appears to be an exam for an Engineering Mechanics course, as it contains 20 multi-part questions testing concepts in statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials. The exam covers topics such as forces, moments, equilibrium, centroids, moments of inertia, kinematics, dry friction, and more. Students are asked to define terms, derive equations, solve quantitative problems, and determine values related to forces, velocities, accelerations, tensions, and coefficients of friction. The exam is divided into two parts and includes multiple choice and written answer questions.
