Q.1 Select the correct answer [1*5=5]
(i) If two equal forces of magnitude P act at an angel of , then their resultant will be
(a) P sin /2 (b) 2P Cos /2 (c) P tan (d)None of these
(ii) ____________ and ___________ are equal in magnitude , opposite in direction and
collinear in action.
(iii) In FBD (free body diagram) a cable is always represented by __________ force.
(a) fixed (b) hinge (c) roller (d) welded
(iv) Effect of a force on a body depends upon
(a) magnitude (b) direction (c) position or line of action (d) all of these
(v) According to the principle of transmissibility of forces ,the effect of a force upon a
body is
a) maximum when it acts at the centre of gravity of a body
b) different at different points in its line of action
c) the same at every point in its line of action
d) minimum when it acts at the C.G. of the body

Q2. Forces 7 kN, 10 kN, 10 KN and 3 kN respectively act at one of the angular point of a regular
pentagon toward the other four points taken in order. Find the magnitude, inclination and
position of the resultant. (Refer fig. 1)

(Refer figure 2)
(b) A member is subjected to a force of F = 6 kN. If = 45
0
, determine the moment
produce by F about point A. (Refer figure 3)
