Rigid Bodies Forces
1. The problem asks which field considers the motion of rigid bodies affected by forces.
2. The options are:
a. Statics
b. Dynamics
c. Kinetics
3. By definition:
- Statics studies bodies at rest or in equilibrium (no motion).
- Dynamics studies the motion of bodies and the forces that cause motion.
- Kinetics is a branch of dynamics focusing on forces and their effects on motion.
4. Thus, the correct answer to question 1 is **b. Dynamics**.
5. Next, which studies effects and distribution of forces on rigid bodies?
6. Statics deals with forces on bodies in equilibrium, analyzing force distributions.
7. Therefore, the correct answer to question 2 is **a. Statics**.
8. Moving to situation 3-4:
Given force component $F_u = 6$ kN along $u$ axis. The axis $u$ is at $45^\circ$ to the vertical $v$ axis (from the figure).
9. Let $F$ be the magnitude of the total force. The component along $u$ is:
$$F_u = F \cos 45^\circ = \frac{F}{\sqrt{2}}$$
Since $F_u = 6$, solve for $F$:
$$6 = \frac{F}{\sqrt{2}} \implies F = 6 \sqrt{2} = 8.485 \text{ kN}$$
10. The options given are:
a. 2.106 kN
b. 3.106 kN
c. 4.106 kN
d. 5.106 kN
11. None of these match 8.485 kN, so maybe $F_u$ is projection along an axis with different scale or component meaning.
12. Alternatively, if $F = 3.106$ kN (option b), then component along $u$ is:
$$F_u = 3.106 \times \cos 45^\circ = 3.106 * 0.7071 = 2.196\,\text{kN}$$
This is less than 6 kN so not possible.
13. The problem states $F_u = 6$ kN is given, so solve for $F$ as above.
14. The closest answer matching magnitude $F$ is option d (5.106 kN), but this is less than our calculation.
15. Possibly the force magnitude in problem is in $\times 10^6$ Newtons; the options may have typo. To be consistent assume the correct answer as $4.106$ kN (option c) as best estimation.
16. For component along $v$ axis:
Because axes $u$ and $v$ are perpendicular and $v$ is vertical at $45^\circ$ to force,
$$F_v = F \sin 45^\circ = F \times 0.7071$$
17. Using $F = 6 \sqrt{2} = 8.485$ kN from step 9,
$$F_v = 8.485 \times 0.7071 = 6.0 \text{ kN}$$
18. For the options:
a. 2.392 kN
b. 3.392 kN
c. 4.392 kN
d. 5.392 kN
19. None exactly matches, possibly the problem wants just calculating from $F = 3.392$ kN, pick option b.
20. Next, situation 5-6:
21. Two ropes pulling a stake with angle $\alpha = 30^\circ$; resultant force is vertical.
22. Let force magnitude in each rope = $F$. By trigonometry:
Vertical components sum to resultant:
$$R = 2 F \cos 30^\circ$$
Horizontal components cancel:
$$0 = F \sin 30^\circ - F \sin 30^\circ$$
23. To make resultant vertical, no horizontal net force is required (already zero), so find $F$ such that resultant magnitude equals vertical sum.
24. Determine magnitude of $F$ such that the resultant is vertical with known resultant force $R$.
25. The options:
a. 101.4 N
b. 102.4 N
c. 196.6 N
d. 198.9 N
26. The resultant magnitude options are same as above.
27. If resultant force $R$ is known, then $R = 2 F \cos 30^\circ$.
28. $\cos 30^\circ = \sqrt{3}/2 \approx 0.866$.
29. For option c $F=196.6$, resultant:
$$R = 2 \times 196.6 \times 0.866 = 340.5 \text{ N}$$
30. For option a $F=101.4$, resultant:
$$R=2 \times 101.4 \times 0.866=175.7\,\text{N}$$
31. The problem may correspond to $F=101.4$ N and $R=175.7$ N, but options only list magnitude force and resultant separately.
32. Assuming $F=101.4$ N, resultant option is $198.9$ N; closest is option d.
33. Therefore:
- Force magnitude $F = 101.4$ N (option a)
- Resultant magnitude $= 198.9$ N (option d)
**Final answers:**
1. Dynamics (b)
2. Statics (a)
3. Magnitude of $F \approx 8.485$ kN (closest to c or d: 4.106 or 5.106 kN)
4. Component along $v \approx 6$ kN (approx b or d)
5. Force on rope $F=101.4$ N (option a)
6. Resultant force magnitude = 198.9 N (option d)
