ES 5 – STATICS OF RIGID BODIES

ASSIGNMENT # 1
INTRODUCTION TO STATICS & RESULTANTS OF FORCE SYSTEMS

01. The 500-N weight is supported by two cables, the 04. Replace the three forces acting on the guy wires by
cable forces being F1 and F2. Knowing that the a single force acting on the flagpole. Use T1 = 200 lb,
resultant of F1 and F2 is a force of magnitude 500 N T2 = 400 lb, and T3 = 350 lb.
acting in the y-direction, determine F1 and F2.

02. If R is the resultant of the forces P and Q, find P and


Q.

05. Find the combined moment of the forces P and Q


about O. The magnitudes of the forces are P = 80 lb
and Q = 60 lb.

03. Use the dot product to find the angle between the
position vectors A and B.

06. Replace the force-couple system acting on the pipe


with an equivalent force-couple system acting at
point O.
07. The resultant of the three forces is the force 10. Find the resultant of the distributed load acting on
R = -170j kN acting through point B. Determine P1, the flat plate.
P2, and P3.

08. The resultant of the forces P1, P2, and the couple C 11. The water pressure acting on the masonry dam
is the force R = 12 k lb acting at point A ( R is not varies as shown. If the dam is 20 ft wide, determine
shown in the figure). Determine P1, P2, and C. the resultant force of the water pressure acting on
the dam.

09. The transmission tower OA is being hoisted into


position by the cables AB and AC. The resultant of
the cable tensions P and Q, along with the 2400-lb
weight of the tower, is a force R acting at point O.
Determine P, Q, and R.
12. Determine the resultant of the forces shown in
the frame and indicate where its line of action
intersects member AB measured from point A.
