I !T "RETEST#, MAR $%&' GE($)* Engineering Me+ani+, . Date: 12/03/2014 Time: 2.00 to 3.30 PM Max Marks: 50 PART A 5X2=10 1. A force F = 700i +1500j is applied to a bolt. Determine the magnitude of the force and the angle it forms with horizontal. 2. State Lamis theorem. 3. Explain parallelogram law? 4. Differentiate resultant and equilibrant? 5. What is meant by free body diagram of a rigid body? PART B 16 +16 + 8 = 40 1) a) Knowing that = 35 o , determine the resultant of the three forces shown. b) For the same problem determine (a) the required value of if the resultant of the three forces shown is to be vertical (b) Also find the corresponding magnitude of the resultant. [16]
2) Determine all the possible support reactions? [16]
3) A 100 N vertical force is applied to the end of a lever which is [8] attached to a shaft at O. Determine (a) moment about O (b) Horizontal force at A which creates the same moment (c) Smallest force at A which produces the same moment (d) Location for a 240 N vertical force to produce the same moment (e) Whether any of the forces from b, c, and d is equivalent to the original force
