Two steel truss members, AC and BC, each having cross sectional area of 100 mm², are subjected to a horizontal force F as shown in figure. All the joints are hinged.

If F = 1 kN, the magnitude of the vertical reaction force developed at the point B in kN is

Two steel truss members, AC and BC, each having cross sectional area of 100 mm², are subjected to a horizontal force F as shown in figure. All the joints are hinged.

The maximum force F in kN that can be applied at C such that the axial stress in any of the truss members DOES NOT exceed 100MPa is

A 1 kg block is resting on a surface with coefficient of friction $$\mu $$ $$=0.1.$$ A force of $$0.8$$ $$N$$ is applied to the block as shown in the figure. The friction force is

A uniform rigid rod of mass $$M$$ and length $$L$$ is hinged at one end as shown in theadjacent figure. A force P is applied at a distance of $$2L/3$$ from the hinge so thatthe rod swings to the right. The reaction at the hinge is
