Name: Score:
Section: Engr. ISIB
CO1. Perform calculations on forces and moments and determine areas and centroids by applying
all operations associated with them.
CILO4. Explain the concept and principles of moments.
CILO5. Explain the concept and principles of couples.
1. Replace the three forces acting on the shaft with a single resultant force. Specify where the
force acts, measured from end B.
2. Replace the force system acting on the frame with an equivalent resultant force and specify
where the resultant’s line of action intersects member BC, measured from point B.
3. Replace the force and couple system with an equivalent force and couple-moment at point
P.
4. Determine the resultant couple moment of the two couples that act on the assembly.
Member OB lies in the x–z plane.

5. Replace the force system acting on the frame with a resultant force, and specify where its
line of action intersects member AB, measured from point A.
6. The masonry support creates the loading distribution acting on the end of the beam.
Simplify this load to a single resultant force and specify its location measured from point
O.
7. Determine the resultant force and specify where it acts on the beam measured from A.
