Question Bank OnStatic Force Analysis-2016-17

This document contains a question bank on static force analysis for a dynamics of machines course. It includes 13 multi-part questions with diagrams of various linkage mechanisms. Students are asked to determine torque or force values required to maintain static equilibrium given the force and moment loads on the mechanisms along with dimensional parameters of the links. Typical theory questions in this unit involve explaining principles of static force analysis, virtual work, and procedures for analyzing two-force, three-force, and four-bar linkages. The document was compiled by an instructor at Vidya Vikas Institute of Engineering & Technology in Mysore, India.
