Section: A
1. a) Knowing that the tension in the rope AC is 365 N, determine the resultant of the three forces 17 ½
extended at point C of post BC as shown in Fig. 1(a).
b) Two cables are tied together at C and loaded as shown. Knowing that P = 360 N, determine the 20
tension (i) in cable AC (ii) in cable BC as shown in Fig. 1(b).

2. a) A prybar is used to remove a nail as shown in Fig. 2(a). Determine the moment of the 60 lb for 17 ½
θ about the point O of the contact between the prybar and small support block.
b) A 50 kg crate is attached to the trolley beam system as shown in Fig. 2(b). Knowing that a = 20
1.5 m, determine i) the tension in cable CD ii) the reaction at B.

3. a) Determine first moment and centriod of the shaded area as shown in Fig. 3(a) by direct 17 ½
integration method.
b) Locate the centre of gravity with respect to X, Y, Z co-ordinate system of the rigid body 20
shown in Fig. 3(b).

Section: B
4. a) Determine the force in the members FH, GH, and GI of the roof truss as shown in Fig. 4(a). 17 ½
b) Determine the components of the forces acting on each member of the frame shown in Fig. 20
4(b).

5. a) A 6.5 m ladder AB leans against a wall as shown in Fig. 5(a). Assuming that the coefficient of 17 ½
static friction µs is the same at A and B, determine the smallest value of µs for which
equilibrium is maintained.
b) A wedge A of negligible weight is to be driven between two 100 lb plates B and C as shown in 20
Fig. 5(b). The coefficient of static friction between all surfaces of contact is 0.35. Determine
the magnitude of the force P required to start moving the wedge if plates are equally free to
move.
