Problem 1
The three forces and a couple shown are applied
to an angle bracket.
(a) Reduce the system to a force and a couple at
B.
(b) Locate the points where the line of action of
the single resultant force intersects line AB and
line BC.
a) Reduce the system to a force and a couple at B
= ΣF = 25Cos(60 ) − 40 = −27.5 	(←)
= ΣF = 25Sin(60 ) − 10 = 11.6506 	(↑)
= = 80 + (10)(12) − 40(8) = −120 . cm	(clockwise)

→
| = 29.866	N
b) Line of action of the single resultant force
i) Intersection with line AB
Hence	(11.6506) = 120 ⇒ = 10.3cm
ii) Intersection with line BC
(27.5) = 120 ⇒ = 4.3636	cm
Single Resultant Force
Problem 2
Three children are standing on a 15 15-ft raft. The weights of the
children at points A, B, and C are 85 lb, 60 lb, and 90 lb, respectively. If a
fourth child of weight 95 lb climbs onto the raft, determine where she
should stand if the other children remain in the positions shown and the
line of action of the resultant of the four weights is to pass through the
center of the raft.

Problem 3.
Gate AB shown in the figure below is 6m wide and weighs 50,000 kg when
submerged. It is hinged at B and rests against a smooth wall at A. Determine the water
level h which will just cause the gate to open (see Fig. 2).
R is resultant of FP and mg
R = -mg ĵ + ρg(h-4)(10)(6)[ cos Ɵ î + sin Ɵ ĵ ]
cos Ɵ = 0.8 , sin Ɵ = 0.6
R = ρg(h-4)(48)î + [ρg(h-4)(16) – mg]ĵ
Impending opening of gate when line of action of R coincides with AB:
=>
( )( )
( )( )

Problem 4.
A hollow steel cone with internal
dimensions as shown has a pinhole at the
top. The cone is filled with water. What is
the minimum weight of the cone which will
prevent the water from up-lifting the cone
