Question in Engineering Statics
Solve for the internal force in three members of a truss.
-
Question in Engineering Statics
Find the rectangular (scalar) components of a force for two coordinates systems.

Question in Engineering Statics
A hand truck on wheels. Easiest to solve by rotating coordinate system.
-
Question in Engineering Statics
Two forces act on a bell crank. This problem has two unknown magnitudes and an unknown direction which makes it tricky to solve by the equilibrium equation method.
The solution is much simpler if three force body principle is used.
-
Question in Engineering Statics
Two known forces, and a third with known magnitude act on a rigid body. Apply $\Sigma M = 0$ about a pin restraint to determine the direction of the third force. The problem has two valid answers.
-
Question in Engineering Statics
Given three vectors, arrange them in a tip to tail arrangement using geogebra, then estimate the magnitude and direction of their resultant.
-
Question in Engineering Statics
Add three vectors by determining their scalar components, summing them and then resolving the rectangular components to find the magnitude and direction of the resultant
-
Question in Engineering Statics
Two dimensional particle equilibrium problem. Advice shows how to use how to use slope triangles to find sines and cosines, rather than finding the angle and using that.
-
Question in Engineering Statics
Replace two forces with a equivalent force-couple system at a specified point.

Question in Engineering Statics
An A-frame structure supporting a load at the top. Simple because both legs are two force bodies.
-
Question in Engineering Statics
This just an equilibrium of a particle problem, but posed in context of a joint as a warm-up for the method of joints.
Advice is brief.
