Instructions: Show your solutions neatly on a yellow pad paper or A4 size bond paper (write on one
side only). To be submitted on or before our scheduled midterm exam. Make this as your cover page
and fill in the blanks in this questionnaire. BOX your final answer. Try answering it yourself first
before doing it with your classmates. Good luck and God Bless! :)
PROBLEM SOLVING:
1. The moment of the force P about the axis AB is 850 lb – ft. Determine the magnitude of P.
2. Replace the force and the couple shown with an equivalent force-couple system where the force acts
at A.
Vision: A globally competitive university for science, technology, and environmental conservation.
Mission: Development of a highly competitive human resource, cutting-edge scientific knowledge
and innovative technologies for sustainable communities and environment.
3. The tensions in the cables supporting the pole are T1 = T2 = T3 = 60 kN. Replace the cable tensions
with an equivalent force-couple system with the force acting at 0. Express your answer in vector
form.
4. The force acting at A is F = 10i + 20j-5k kN. Knowing that the moment of this force about the y-axis
is 8j kN · m, determine the distance b and the moment of F about point O.
5. The magnitude of the moment of the force P about the axis CD is 50 lb ·in. Find the magnitude of P.
6. Calculate the couple-vector formed by the two forces, given that F = -160i - 120j + 90k N.

7. The magnitudes of the force P and couple C are 800 lb and 1400 lb • ft, respectively. Calculate the
combined moment of P and C about (a) the origin O ; and (b) the axis OF.
8. The resultant force of the three cable tensions that support the crate is R = 750j lb. Find T1; and T3,
given that T2 = 250 lb.
9. The force-couple system shown is equivalent to the force F acting at point A (no couple). Given that
F = - 200i + 300j lb and C = 600 lb • ft, determine the distance d.
10. Replace the two forces shown with an equivalent force-couple system with the force acting at point
O. Express your answer in vector form.
