Problem No. 1: If the resultant of the forces shown passes through point A , determine the magnitude of the unknown tension T 2 which acts on the braked pulley. Solution:
Problem No. 2 : Determine the height h above the base B at which the resultant of the three forces acts. Solution:
Problem No. 4 : Determine the magnitude of the resultant and the location where it passes through the plate of the system of parallel forces. Solution:
Problem No. 5: Three forces act at point O. If it is known that the y - component of the resultant R is - 5 kN and that the z-component is 6 kN, determine F 3 , θ , and R. Solution:
Problem No. 7: A portion of the square plate is loaded by the uniformly distributed load p =20 lb/ft^2. Find the coordinates of the point in the xy - plane through which the resultant passes. Solution:
