Spring 2024 - MTH304 - 1 - SOL

The document contains 3 physics questions. The first question asks to find the magnitude of a horizontal force F given the length of a string tied to points A and B, the weight of a ring that can slide along the string, and the distance the ring is below points A and B. The second question asks to find the magnitude and direction of the resultant force of 4 forces acting on a particle shown in a figure. The third question gives the magnitudes of two forces acting at a point and the component of the resultant force in one direction, and asks to find the angle between the forces and the magnitude of the resultant force.

Question no.

A string of 2.4 m in length is tied to two points A and B in the horizontal plane. A ring of 2 kN weight
which can slide freely along ACB is at C, in equilibrium condition when a horizontal force F is applied at
point C. if the point C is 75 cm below of AB find out the magnitude of F. the length of AC is 1.5 m.

Question no 2:

The following figure shows the four forces which lie in the same plane acting on a particle. The
magnitudes of these forces and their relative directions are shown in the figure. Find the magnitude and
direction of the resultant four forces.
Solution:

𝑌 = 18 cos 30 − 10 sin 30 − 24 sin 60


𝑋 = 18 sin 30 + 24 cos 60 − 30 − 10 cos 30
𝑌 = −10.196
𝑋 = −17.660

𝑅 = √|𝑋|2 + |𝑌|2

𝑅 = √|−17.660|2 + |−10.196|2

𝑅 = 20.4 𝑁
𝑌
𝜃 = tan−1 = 30𝑜
𝑋
Question no 3:
Two forces each of magnitudes 12 N act at a point in the direction OA and OB. The angle
between the forces is 𝑥. The resultant of two forces has component 14 N in the direction OA.
Find the value of 𝑥 and the magnitude of resultant of the two forces.
𝑅𝑥 = 12 𝑁 + 12 cos 𝑥
14 𝑁 = 12 𝑁 + 12 cos 𝑥
12 cos 𝑥 = 2
1
cos 𝑥 =
6
𝑥 = 80𝑜

𝑅 = √𝐹1 2 + 𝐹2 2 + 2𝐹1 𝐹2 cos 𝑥

𝑅 = √122 + 122 + 2(12)(12) cos 80

𝑅 = √388 = 19 𝑁
