Example ( 2-1) :
The ring in the figure below is subjected to two forces ( F1) and ( F2).
Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force.

F, = 150 N
F = 100 N

Solution :
Parallelogram Law. The parallelogram is formed by drawing a line from the head of F1 that
is parallel to F2 , and another line from the head of F2 that is parallel to F1 , the resultant
force FR extends to where these lines intersect at point A. The two unknowns are the
magnitude of ( FR) and the angle ( 0) (theta).
3) A point mass is attached to one end of a beam levered against a spike which acts as the
pivot. The point mass weighs 250N and the beam has a uniform mass of 10kg and is 8m
long.

a. If a scale placed beneath the point mass reads 250N, what is the magnitude and
direction for the force at the pivot point?
Direction: North, 90° from x-axis
Magnitude to k* 250N = 2500 N
b. For the same scenario, how far must the pivot point be located relative to the
left edge of the beam? (Hint, both the boxes weight and the force from the scale
act at the farthest right edge of the beam.)

c. The pivot is then moved to be 6m from the left edge of the beam which now
makes a 60 angle with the floor. How much downward force would be needed at
the left-most edge of the beam to reduce the reading on the scale to zero? (Hint:
the beam is still in static eq. when the scale reads zero.)
