    This document contains 5 mechanics problems assigned as homework. Problem 1 asks the thrust that tugs must each exert to counteract the thrust from a ship's propellers, one going ahead and one astern. Problem 2 gives the top view of a revolving door and asks to determine the magnitude of a force if the resulting moment is given. Problem 3 replaces a 50N force on a car brake lever with an equivalent force couple at the pivot point. Problem 4 replaces three forces on a bent pipe with a single equivalent force and specifies where its line of action passes. Problem 5 finds the resultant of three forces on a simple truss and specifies where its line of action passes on the x and y axes.

    HW 02 Semester I 2012/2013

    KL2103 Engineering Mechanics, Class 02


    Due: Wednesday, September 12, 2012



    Problem 1
    Each propeller of the twin-screw ship develops a full-
    speed thrust of 300 kN. In maneuvering the ship, one
    propeller is turning full speed ahead and the other full
    speed in reverse. What thrust P must each tug exert on
    the ship to counteract the effect of the ships
    propellers?











    Problem 2
    The top view of a revolving entrance door is shown. Two
    persons simultaneously approach the door and exert force of
    equal magnitude as shown. If the resulting moment about
    the door pivot axis at O is 25 N-m, determine the magnitude
    of F.









    Problem 3
    A force F of magnitude 50 N is exerted on
    the automobile parking-brake lever at the
    position x =250 mm. Replace the force by
    an equivalent force-couple system at the
    pivot point O.














    Problem 4
    Replace the three forces acting on the bent pipe
    by a single equivalent force R. Specify the
    distance x from point O to the point on the x-axis
    through which the line of action of R passes.















    Problem 5
    Determine the resultant R of the three forces acting on
    the simple truss. Specify the points on the x- and y-
    axes through which the line of action of R must pass.
