reactions at A, B and C. Find FA, FB, FC.

FA = 900 N, FB = 1800 N, FC = 900 N

FA = 1000 N, FB = 1800 N, FC = 1000 N
FA = 800 N, FB = 1600 N, FC = 800 N
FA = 1000 N, FB = 1700 N, FC = 1000 N

3) Compare the forces F required to just start the 900 N lawn rollers as shown in figure 1 point
3, over a 75 mm step when (a) the roller is pushed and (b) the roller is pulled.

Pushing F = 1890 N, Pulling F = 690 N.

Pushing F = 1866 N, Pulling F = 607 N.
Pushing F = 1750 N, Pulling F = 500 N.
Pushing F = 1966 N, Pulling F = 707 N.

4) The bracket ABC is free to swing out horizontally on the vertical rod as shown in figure 1 point
4. Estimate the forces transmitted to the vertical rod at A and B when a 900 N load is supported at

C.

FAX = -2000 N, FAY = -1350 N, FAZ = 0. FBX = 2000 N, FBY = 1350 N,

FBZ = 900 N.
FAX = -1800 N, FAY = -1350 N, FAZ = 0. FBX = 1800 N, FBY = 1350 N,
FBZ = 900 N.
FAX = -1800 N, FAY = -1550 N, FAZ = 0. FBX = 1800 N, FBY = 1550 N,
FBZ = 900 N.
FAX = -2000 N, FAY = -1550 N, FAZ = 0. FBX = 2000 N, FBY = 1550 N,
FBZ = 900 N.

5) A 100 N force is required to operate the foot pedal as shown in figure 5. Determine the 1 point
force (reactions at O) in the connecting link and the force (F) exerted by the lever on the bearing
at O. Neglect the weight of the lever.

F = 187.4 N, Rx = 70.67 N, Ry = 276.7 N

F = 167.4 N, Rx = 50.67 N, Ry = 256.7 N
F = 177.4 N, Rx = 60.67 N, Ry = 266.7 N
F = 197.4 N, Rx = 60.67 N, Ry = 286.7 N

6) A spot weld which holds the bracket to the plate at joint A as shown in figure 6, can 1 point
withstand a maximum twist in the plane of the plate of 100 Nm. Determine the maximum load W.

W = 632 N
W = 622 N
W = 662 N
W = 692 N
