Take Home Midterm

The document provides instructions and 10 problems for a statics of rigid bodies take-home midterm exam. Students are to show detailed solutions on bond paper using proper formatting and units. They may collaborate but must individually present solutions. Problems involve determining resultants and moments of forces acting on structures such as barges, posts, plates, and booms.

Name & Date:

INSTRUCTIONS. Listed below are the guidelines to


follow when performing your detailed solutions.
Failure to comply with those requirements will be
given a corresponding deduction.

a. Use long (8.5” x 13”) bond paper.


b. Show all the pertinent solutions on the
following problems. Include necessary
figures/illustrations/diagrams.
3. The force R is the resultant of the forces
c. Use italics in expressing scalars while
P1, P2, and P3 acting on the rectangular
boldface for vectors.
plate. Find P1 and P2 if R = 40 kN and P3 =
d. Watch out for the proper units for every
20 kN.
required quantity.
e. Express your answers in 4 decimal places.
f. Collaborating with other students will be
permitted but the presentation of the
activity should be individually performed.

1. The two tugboats apply the forces P and Q


to the barge, where P = 76 kN and Q = 52
kN. Determine the resultant of P and Q
using parallelogram law.

4. The magnitude of the force Q is 250 N.


Determine the moments of Q about (a)
point O; and (b) point C.

2. The vertical post is secured by three


cables. The cables are pre-tensioned so
that the resultant of the cable forces F, Q,
and P is directed along the z-axis. If F =
120 lb, find P and Q.
5. The moment of the force F about the x- 8. Two cable tensions and a couple act on
axis is 1080 m.N. Determine the moment the rod OAB. Determine the equivalent
of F about the axis AB. force-couple system with the force acting
at O.

6. Determine the combined moment of the


couple C and the force P about the axis
AB. Use C = 80 m.N and P = 400 N.

9. The resultant of the three cable tensions


acts along the y-direction. Determine T1
and T3 given that T2 = 980 lb.

7. Replace the force and the couple shown


by an equivalent force-couple system with
the force acting at (a) at point B; and (b) 10. Referring on the figure on item (9),
point D. determine the resultant of the three cable
tensions that act on the horizontal boom if
T1 = 900 lb, T2 = 500 lb, and T3 = 300 lb.
