AMC110S_Quiz1

This quiz tests you understanding of 2D and 3D force systems - components, results, moments, couples. The following ground rules apply: 1. No copying from friends - try to do things by yourself! Moodle is a Learning Management System. I beg you, do not cheat! 2. The quiz opens at 14:15 on Thursday 28th February 2013 and closes on Saturday 2nd March at 17:15. Submit before this time as email jams may prevent you from submitting. At 17:30 (Saturday 2nd March) the quiz will become sterile and inaccessible. 3. You may get a vector written as 3i+-4j. This means 3i-4j. Its just a way of expressing it.
Q1. A force F = 7.0i+28.0j+3.0k [N] acts through the origin. What is the magnitude of this force in [N]? Q2. A force F = 7.0i+28.0j+3.0k [N] acts through the origin. Determine the angle the force makes with the y-axis in degrees? Q3. A force F = 7.0i+28.0j+3.0k [N] acts through the origin. Determine the angle the force F with the xzplane in degrees. Q4. A force F = 7.0i+28.0j+3.0k [N] acts through the origin. Another force is defined by R = 2.8i+6.0j+4.8k. Determine the dot product between F and R. Q5. A force F = 7.0i+28.0j+3.0k [N] acts through the origin. Another force is defined by R = 2.8i+6.0j+4.8k. Determine the magnitude of the projection on the y-axis of the cross product of F and R.

Q6. A 100-N force and a 654.5-N force are applied as shown a structural member below. Determine the magnitude of the resultant of the two forces in N.

Q7. Determine the moment of this 654.5-N force about the point A in N.m. Q8. If the resultant force between the 100-N and 654.5-N forces is replaced by an equivalent forcecouple system at O, what is the magnitude of the moment created in N.m ? Q9. What angle does the resultant of the two forces make with the positive x-axis?

Q10. If the gradient of the 654.5-N force is changed such that this force has no moment about the O, what angle will the 654.5-N force make with the positive x-axis? Q11. For the bracket shown below, if F1 = 8.1i+5.2j+30.0k [N] and F2=15.1i+4.0j+37.9k [N]. Determine the magnitude of the moment of F1 about the x-axis in N.m. Q12. For the bracket shown below, if F1 = 8.1i+5.2j+30.0k [N] and F2=15.1i+4.0j+37.9k [N]. Determine the magnitude of the moment of F2 about the y-axis in N.m. Q13. For the bracket shown below, if F1 = 8.1i+5.2j+30.0k [N] and F2=15.1i+4.0j+37.9k [N]. Determine the magnitude of the moment of F1+F2 about the x-axis in N.m. Q14. For the bracket shown below, if F1 = 8.1i+5.2j+30.0k [N] and F2=15.1i+4.0j+37.9k [N]. Determine the magnitude of the moment of F1+F2 about the z-axis in N.m. Q15. For the bracket shown below, if F1 = 8.1i+5.2j+30.0k [N] and F2=15.1i+4.0j+37.9k [N]. Determine the magnitude of the moment of F1+F2 about the point O in N.m.
