Task P1 Question P1.1 Unit & Mechanical Principlex and Applicatio Calculate the magnitude, direction and position of the line of action of the resultant and equilibrant of a nonconcurrent coplanar force system containing a minimum of four forces acting in different directions (P1) A flat metal plate is pivoted at its geometric centre and is acted upon by four forces as shown F = 11.0 N F2 = 17.0 N 30 4m 4m 45 F= 5.0 N F3 = 6.0 N (a) Complete the table below showing all workings Force Force Components Turning Moments Horizontal (FI) [N] [N] Vertical (Fv) [N] Fabout A [Nm] Fy about A [Nm] F = F = F = F = TOTALS All workings to be shown on separate sheet. Watt&Mechanical Principles and Applicatio (b) Use the data from the table to; 0 On a separate sheet, draw the force diagram for F. IF, and the resultant force, FR (0) Calculate the magnitude of the resultant force and its angle to the horizontal. Add the calculated values to the force diagram in (i) (ii) calculate the distance of the resultant force from the centre A (c) On the diagram, sketch the line of action of the resultant force and its equilibrant.
