MAY 2022 CE BOARD EXAM ALVAREZ 4


INSTRUCTION: Select the correct answer for each of the following
questions. Mark only one answer for each item by shading the box
corresponding to the letter of your choice on the answer sheet provided.
STRICTLY NO ERASURES ALLOWED. GOOD LUCK.

NOTE: A times B is represented by A×B or A*B. A raised to the power n


is expressed as A^n. All problems are 1 point each.

Situation 1. The 20-kg mass in Figure MEC-101 is suspended by cables attached


to three vertical 2-m posts. Pint A is at (0, 1.2, 0) m.

1. Determine the tensile force, in N, in cable AB.


A. 150.08 C. 36.87
B. 146.04 D. 40.48
2. Determine the resultant moment, in N-m, at the fixed support at E.
A. 228.11 C. 268.43
B. 238.16 D. 247.80
3. If the built-in support of each vertical post will safely support a couple
of 800 N-m magnitude, determine the maximum safe value of the suspended mass,
in kg?
A. 70.14 C. 59.61
B. 67.18 D. 64.57

Situation 2. As shown in Fig. MEC-102, the eyebolt is subjected to three forces


A, B, and C.
Given: A = 6.0 kN B = 2.4 kN θ = 30º

4. How much is the angle β, in degrees, if the resultant of the three forces is
3.6 kN and acts along the y-axis?
A. 41.7 C. 48.3
B. 75.5 D. 14.5
5. If C = 4.6 kN and β = 45º, how much is the resultant, in kN, of the three
forces?

how much is the force C, in kN, if β = 45º?

subjected to a horizontal force P at its end. The coefficient of friction
is 0.18 between A and the inclined plane and 0.25 between the belt and
the drum. It is required to determine the value of P when A is at impending
motion up the plane.
