Solution:

A particular system of the rules is followed that is if the upward direction is taken as positive then the downward direction is taken as negative. This is same as done with the couple in the 2D. That is the forces can be easily simplified. If taken in the vector form then the task is even easier.

QUESTION: 8

QUESTION: 9

The couple is a scalar quantity and the force is vector quantity and hence only force can be simplified as __________

Solution:

Both of them are vector quantities. And both of them can be easily simplified. If taken in the vector form then the task is even easier. Thus it is not necessary for the force or the couple to be vector only, even if the magnitude is taken, the simplification is done in the 2D.

QUESTION: 11

The main moto of the simplification is to ______________

Solution:

The main moto of the simplification is to reduce the calculation. The forces are simplified and the couples too are simplified. This gives us the total force and the total moment acting on the body. This gives us a single value of the respective thing and hence reduces the labour.

QUESTION: 12

Find the total resultant force acting vertically in the given figure below consisting of a beam of ‘L’ shape.

Solution:

QUESTION: 13

The couple is simplified easily by the help of right hand rule. But the forces simplification is not possible as there is no such system of rules so that the forces can be simplified.

Solution:

Both of them are vector quantities. And both of them can be easily simplified. If taken in the vector form then the task is even easier. Thus it is not necessary for the force or the couple to be vector only, even if the magnitude is taken, the simplification is done in the 2D. Forces are simplified on the basis of the algebra.

QUESTION: 14

The couple moment and the force is divided to get the distance of the axis from the point of action of the force.

Solution:

The couple is the cross product of the force and the perpendicular distance between the forces. And if the division of the both is done than the resulting quantity is the distance only. But care must be taken that the product is the cross product and hence sine angle must be divided too to get the distance.

QUESTION: 15

Find the total resultant moment acting vertically in the given figure below consisting of a beam of ‘L’ shape.

Solution:

The couple is simplified by taking the direction of the rotation of the body as positive or negative. That is if the clockwise direction is positive then the anti-clockwise direction is taken as negative. If the couple is a vector it can be easily simplified by taking the components.

QUESTION: 16

What is a collinear system of forces?

Solution:

The force system having all the forces emerging from a point is called the collinear system of force. This is a type of system of the force, which is easy in the simplification. This is because as the forces are the vector quantity, the vector math is applied and the simplification is done.

QUESTION: 17

Find the total resultant force acting in the given figure consisting of a beam with various sections.

Solution:

The couple is simplified by taking the direction of the rotation of the body as positive or negative. That is if the clockwise direction is positive then the anti-clockwise direction is taken as negative. After this the forces are a determined and are added vetorially to get the resultant force.

QUESTION: 18

In the collinear force system a net force is being made after all the simplification done on all the forces.

Solution:

The answer is obvious yes. As the simplification means addition and the subtraction of the forces. This results in the simplification of the forces and thus gives us a single force. It is in a particular direction and hence the statement is true.

QUESTION: 19

Just like the collinear forces there are collinear couple and the net moment is taken out from it.

Solution:

Both of them are vector quantities. And both of them can be easily simplified. If taken in the vector form then the task is even easier. Thus it is not necessary for the force or the couple to be vector only, even if the magnitude is taken, the simplification is done in the 2D.

QUESTION: 20

Just like the collinear force system there is a system of the parallel forces.

Solution:

There is a system so called the parallel system of the forces. This is another type of the forces. The simplification of this type of the forces is also very easy. This means that the forces in a certain direction is taken as positive and in the other direction is negative and hence the simplification is done.

QUESTION: 21

Solution:

As the simplification means addition and the subtraction of the forces. This results in the simplification of the forces and thus gives us a single force. It is in a particular direction.
