NATIONAL DIPLOMA IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING & NATIONAL DIPLOMA IN MECHANICAL
ENGINEERING
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING SCIENCE I ASSIGNMENT II
INSTRUCTIONS:
 This assignment consists of six sets of questions.
 Each group should attempt all questions in the set assigned to it.
 A group should have members as attached in the appendix.
 Deadline for submission is 4:00 pm E.A.T 7th October 2024.
GROUP ONE
1. The jib of a crane, shown in the figure below, is 30 m long and weighs 70 kN. It is pin-jointed at one
end and supported at the other end by a cable which maintains the jib in the position shown. The
centre of gravity of the jib is 12 m from the pinned end. Find the reaction at the pin joint.

2. Find the force acting in member ED using method of joints


GROUP TWO
1. The link AB shown in the figure below is 1.2 m long and pinned at both ends to blocks free to move
in guides. At the instant shown the link is maintained in equilibrium by a force system in which the
two forces N and Q are unknown. Determine Q by resolution of forces.

2. Find the force acting in member CD using method of joints

GROUP THREE
1. The pulley and shaft shown in the figure below. 1.24 have a mass of 102 kg and the tensions in the
sides of the belt passing round the pulley are 2000 N and 500 N. Find the magnitude of the
resultant force on the bearing.
2. Find the force acting in member GD using method of joints

GROUP FOUR
1. The link AB shown in the figure below is 1.2 m long and pinned at both ends to blocks free to move
in guides. At the instant shown the link is maintained in equilibrium by a force system in which the
two forces N and Q are unknown. Determine N by resolution of forces.

2. Find the force acting in member CE using method of joints


GROUP FIVE
1. The jib of a crane, shown in the figure below, is 30 m long and weighs 70 kN. It is pin-jointed at one
end and supported at the other end by a cable which maintains the jib in the position shown. The
centre of gravity of the jib is 12 m from the pinned end. Find the pull in the cable.

2. Find the force acting in member BG using method of joints

GROUP SIX
1. The pulley and shaft shown in the figure below. 1.24 have a mass of 102 kg and the tensions in the
sides of the belt passing round the pulley are 2000 N and 500 N. Find the direction of the resultant
force on the bearing.
2. Find the force acting in member CG using method of joints

GROUPS
