MEB1043 Statics
Tutorial 1
Q1. Evaluate each of the following into SI units.
(A) 354mg (45km) / 0.0356kN
(B) 0.00453Mg (201ms)
(C) 435MN/23.2mm
Q2. Two particles have a mass of 8 kg and 12 kg, respectively. If they are 800 mm apart, determine the force of
gravity acting between them. Compare this result with the weight of each particle.
Q3. If θ = 60° and F = 450N, determine the magnitude of the resultant force and its direction, measured
counterclockwise from the positive x axis.
Q4. The vertical force acts downward at on the two-membered frame. Determine the magnitudes of the two
components of F directed along the axes of AB and AC. Set F= 500 N.
Q5. Determine the magnitude of the resultant force and its direction, measured clockwise from the positive x axis.
