Problem 1.

14 (PK)
Solution

Final Answer

The typical power output of a compact car engine is 120 hp. What is
the equivalent power in (a) lb ft/s; and (b) kW?

Problem 1.46 (PK)

Solution

Final Answer

The magnitude of the force F is 120 lb. Find its rectangular

representation.

Problem 1.56 (PK)

Solution

Final Answer

The vertical post is secured by three cables. The cables are pretensioned so that the resultant of the cable forces F, Q, and P is
directed along the z-axis. If F = 120 lb, find P and Q.

Problem 1.66 (PK)

Solution

Final Answer

The three points A (0, 2, 2), B (1, 4, 1), and C (3, 0, 0) define a
plane. The coordinates are in inches. Find a unit vector that is
perpendicular to this plane.

Problem 2.4 (PK)

Solution

Final Answer

Determine P and so that the three forces shown are equivalent to

the single force R = 85i + 20j kN.

Problem 2.44 (PK)

Solution

Final Answer

Determine the magnitude of the moment of the 150-N force about

point O and find the direction cosines of the moment vector.

Problem 2.54 (PK)

Solution

Final Answer

To lift the table without tilting, the combined moment of the four
parallel forces must be zero about the x-axis and the y-axis (O is the
center of the table). Determine the magnitude of the force F and the
distance d.

Problem 2.86 (PK)

Solution

Final Answer

Replace the two forces shown by a force-couple system with the

force acting at O.

Problem 2.96 (PK)

Solution

Final Answer

Three cable tensions T1, T2, and T3 act at the top of the flagpole.
Given that the resultant force for the three tensions is R=400k N,
find the magnitudes of the cable tensions.

Problem 2.106 (PK)

Solution

Final Answer

The trapdoor is held in the position shown by two cables. The

tensions in the cables are T1 =30 lb and T2 =90 lb. Determine the
magnitude of the single force that would have the same effect on the
door as the cable tensions.
