Question 1. A black weighing W = 10 kN is resting on an inclined plane as shown in Fig. (a). Determine its components
normal to and parallel to the inclined plane
Solution:Theplanemakesanangleof20°tothehorizontal.Hencethenormaltotheplanemakesananglesof70°to
thehorizontali.e.,20°tothevertical[Ref.Fig].IfABrepresentsthegivenforceWtosomescale,ACrepresentsits
componentnormaltotheplaneandCBrepresentsitscomponentparalleltotheplane.
Thus from ∆ ABC,
Component normal to the plane = AC
= W cos 20°
= 10 cos 20°= 9.4 kN
(b) Component parallel to the plane = W sin 20°
= 10 sin 20°
= 3.42 kN, down the plane

Question 5: A system of forces acting on a body resting on an inclined plane is as shown in Fig. Determine the resultant force
if θ = 60°and if W = 1000 N; N = 500 N; F = 100 N; and T = 1200 N.

Inthisproblem,notethatselectingXandYaxesparalleltotheplaneand
perpendiculartotheplaneisconvenient.
R

EQUILIBRIANT OF A FORCE SYSTEM
The force which brings the body to the state of equilibrium and obviously, this forces is equal in magnitude, but opposite in
the direction to the resultant.
COMPOSITION OF COPLANAR NON-CONCURRENT FORCE SYSTEM
ΣF
x
–algebraic sum of the components of all forces in x direction
ΣF
y
–algebraic sum of the components of all forces in y direction
Α–inclination of the resultant R to x direction
ΣM
O
–algebraic sum of the moments of all the forces about point O
d –is distance of the resultant R from the point O.
Where,
x AND y INTERCEPTS OF RESULTANT

Question 6: Find the resultant of the force system shown in Fig. acting on a lamina of equilateral triangular shape
Solution:
ΣF
x
= 80 –100 cos 60°–120 cos 30°= –73.92 N
R
x
= 73.92 N
ΣF
y
= 80 + 120 sin 30°–100 sin 60°
R
y
= 53.40 N
R = 91.19 N
α = 35.84°
Let x be the distance from A at which the resultant cuts AC.
Then taking A as moment centre
53.40x = 80 ×100 sin 60°+ 80 ×50 + 120 sin 30°×100
x = 317.008 mm to the right of A

Question 6: Four forces having magnitudes of 200 N, 400 N, 600 N and 800 N respectively, are acting along the four sides (1
m each) of a square ABCD taken in order, as shown in Fig. Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force.
Solution:
ΣF
x
= 200 –600 = –400 N = 400 N
ΣF
y
= 400 –800 = –400 N = 400 N
= 565.68 N
Let x be the distance from A along x axis, where resultant cuts
AB. Then
ΣM
A
= 400 ×1 + 600 ×1 = 1000 N-m
Solid Mechanics Introduction

Question 6: Determine the resultant of system of parallel forces acting on a beam as shown in Fig.
Solution:
ΣF
x
= 0 N
ΣF
y
= 80 –30 + 40 –50 + 60 = 100 kN
= 100 kN
Let x be the distance from A along x axis, where resultant cuts x
axis. Then
ΣM
A
= 80 ×0 –30 ×2 + 40 ×4 –50 ×8 + 60 ×10
= 300 kN-m

Now, let BC be extended to D
∆CFD = ∆CFA
∴CD = AC
BD = BC + CD = BC + AC = length of chord = 5 m DE = 3 m
∴BE = 4 m
As ∆BHI is similar to ∆BDE
AH = 3 –0.75 = 2.25
x = 1.125 m. Since AH = 2x
At C,
ΣV = 0
2 ×T sin θ = 200
2 ×T ×4 5 = 200
∴T = 125 N

2 ∠OBA= 60 °
∠OBA = 30°
ΣV = 0
R cos 30°–2000 = 0
R = 2309.40 N

gives P –R sin 30°= 0
P = 2309.40 ×sin 30°
P = 1154.70 N.
Case 2:
Case 1:
From triangle of forces ABC,

Moments of Inertia
•Themoment of inertiais a measure of how resistant an object is to changes in its rotational motion.
•Themoment of inertiaof the cross-section of a body is its resistance to changes in its rotation.
•It depends on how far each part of the body's mass is from its center.

Solution:
Maximum thermal efficiency of his engine possible
That engine and deliver output = η ×input
= 0.5 ×105 MJ
= 52.5 MJ = 14.58 kWh
As he claims that his engine can deliver more work than ideally possible so I would not advise to investing money.

Question 2: If a refrigerator is used for heating purposes in winter so that the atmosphere becomes the cold body and the
room to be heated becomes the hot body, how much heat would be available for heating for each kW input to the driving
motor? The COP of the refrigerator is 5, and the electromechanical efficiency of the motor is 90%. How does this compare
with resistance heating?
Solution:
(COP)
ref.
= (COP)
H.P

∴(COP)
H.P.
= 6
But motor efficiency 90% so
= 0.1852 H

Show that:
(a) Temperature T is the arithmetic mean of temperatures T1 and T2 if the engines produce the same amount of work
output
(b) Temperature T is the geometric mean of temperatures T1 and T2 if the engines have the same cycle efficiencies.
