1. A dam is subjected to three forces; 50 kN force on the upstream vertical face AB, 30 kN force on the downstream inclined

assuming all the orce to line in the same plane.

2. The resultant of four forces which are acting at a point O as shown, is along Y-axis. The magnitude of forces F1, F3, and F4
are 10 kN, 20 kN, and 40 kN respectively. The angles made by 10 kN, 20 kN, and 40 kN with x-axis are 30°, 90°, and 120°
