    STATICS OF RIGID BODIES

    ASSIGNMENT #1 SOLUTION

    1. The force system shown in Figure 1 has a resultant of 200 lb pointing up along the Y-axis. Compute the
    values of F and Ɵ required to give this
    resultant.
    Solution:
    ∑Fx=Rx
    FCosƟ + 240Cos30°- 500 = 0
    FCosϴ=-240Cos30°+ 500
    FCosϴ= 292.145 lb ---------eq. 1

    ∑Fy=Ry
    FSinƟ – 240Sin30° = 200
    FSinƟ = 240Sin30° + 200
    Fsinϴ = 320.000 lb ---------eq. 2

    𝐹𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛳 320.000 𝑙𝑏 320.000 𝑙𝑏


    tanϴ =𝐹𝑐𝑜𝑠𝛳 = 292.145 𝑙𝑏
    ; ϴ= Arc tan⁻¹ (292.145 𝑙𝑏) = 47.605°

    292.145
    FCosϴ = 292.145 lb ; F= = 433.297 lb
    𝐶𝑜𝑠 47.605°

    2. The block shown in Figure 2 is acted on by its weight W= 400 lb, a horizontal force F= 600 lb, and the
    pressure P exerted by the inclined plane. The resultant R of these forces is parallel to the incline.
    Determine P and R. Does the block move up
    or down the incline?

    Solution:
    By using the incline as the horizontal reference

    ∑Fx=Rx
    600cos30° - 400sin30° - Pcos75° = Rx --eq.1

    ∑Fy=Ry
    -600sin30° - 400cos30° + Psin75° = 0 ---eq.2

    From eq.2
    600𝑠𝑖𝑛30° + 400𝑐𝑜𝑠30°
    𝑃=
    𝑠𝑖𝑛75°
    P= 669.213 lb

    Thus from eq.1


    Rx= 600cos30° - 400sin30° - 669.213cos75°
    Rx= 519.615 – 200 – 173.205
    Rx= 146.410 lb

    R= √𝑅𝑥 2 + 𝑅𝑦²
    R= √(146.410)2 + 0
    R=146.410 lb
    3. Two locomotives on opposite banks of a canal pull a vessel moving parallel to the banks by means of
    two horizontal ropes. The tensions in these ropes are 3000 lb and 4400 lb while the angle between
    them is 60°. Find the resultant pull on the vessel and the angle between each of the ropes and the sides
    of the canal.

    Solution:
    ∑Fx=Rx
    3000cosß° + 4400cosΩ°= Rx --eq.1

    ∑Fy=Ry
    3000sinß° - 4400sinΩ° = 0 ---eq.2

    From eq.2
    Sinß = 1.467sinΩ

    But ß= 60°- Ω
    Thus,
    sin(60°- Ω) = 1.467sinΩ
    sin60°cos Ω – cos60°sinΩ = 1.467sinΩ
    0.866cosΩ – 0.5sinΩ = 1.467sinΩ
    0.866coΩ = 1.967sinΩ

    Therefore;
    𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛺 0.866
    TanΩ = 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝛺 = 1.967

    Ω = 23.762°
    ß = 60° - 23.762° = 36.238°

    From eq.1
    Rx= 3000cosß° + 4400sinΩ°
    Rx= 3000cos36.238° + 4400cos23.762°
    Rx= 2419.705 + 4026.999
    Rx = 6446.704 lb

    R= √𝑅𝑥 2 + 𝑅𝑦²
    R= √(6446.704)2 + 0
    R= 6446.704 lb

    4. In the figure 9, assume clockwise moments as positive, compute the moment of force F= 100 lb and
    of force P =200 lb about points A,B,C,D and E.
