FME Assignment1&2

This document contains assignment questions about fundamental mechanical engineering concepts including: 1) Questions asking to explain Varignon's theorem, free body diagrams, force equilibrium, and moments and couples. 2) Questions calculating forces and moments in equilibrium systems shown in diagrams. 3) Questions determining resultants and reactions in loaded structures and systems involving forces, springs, and rollers. 4) Assignment 2 questions defining stress and strain, Poisson's ratio, shear stress, modulus of rigidity, and deriving relationships between elastic constants. It also asks to draw stress-strain diagrams for ductile and brittle materials.

a. Varignon’s theorem b. Free body diagram c. Force equilibrium d. Moment & Couple

Q:2 An object is in equilibrium under four concurrent forces in the directions shown in figure. Find the magnitude of
F1 and F2. (Fig. 1 a)
Q-3 The five forces shown in Fig. are in equilibrium. Compute the values of P and F. (Fig. 1 b)

Q:4 Completely determines the resultant with respect to point O of the force system shown in Fig.

Q-5-8 Determine the resultant and their position.

Q-9 A roller of weight 10 kN rests on a smooth horizontal floor and is connected to the floor by the bar AC
as shown in Fig. 5. Determine the force in the bar AC and reaction from floor, if the roller is subjected to a
horizontal force of 5 kN and an inclined force of 7 kN as shown in the figure.

Q-10 A roller of radius r = 300 mm and weight 2000 N is to be pulled over a curb of height 150 mm [Fig. 6] by
a horizontal force P applied to the end of a string wound tightly around the circumference of the roller. Find the
magnitude of P required to start the roller move over the curb. What is the least pull P through the centre of the
wheel to just turn the roller over the curb?
Q-11 Fig-7 shows a sphere resting in a smooth V shaped groove and subjected to a spring force. The spring is
compressed to a length of 100 mm from its free length of 150 mm. if the stiffness of spring is 2N/mm, determine
the contact reactions at A and B.

Q-12 Find the reactions at supports A and B of the loaded beam shown in fig.
