Q. 1
The cable BC carries a tension of 750 N. Marks
a) Write this tension as a force T 05
acting on point B in terms of the
unit vectors i, j, and k. The elbow at
A forms a right angle.
b) Replace the 750-N tensile force
which the cable exerts on point B
by a force–couple system at point 03
O.

Q. 2 The device shown is designed to apply 06
pressure when bonding laminate to each
side of a countertop near an edge. If a
120N force is applied to the handle,
determine the force, which each roller
exerts on its corresponding surface.

Q.7 The block is at rest before the force is 08
suddenly applied. Given 𝜇! =0.25, 𝜇! =
0.20.
a) If 𝑃=200 N and 𝜃=20°, Find the
magnitude and direction of the
friction force.
b) If 𝑃=250 N and 𝜃=25°, Find the
magnitude and direction of the
friction force.
