CHRIST THE KING ENGINEERING COLLEGE, KARAMADAI

ME 2151 ENGINEERING MECHANICS Cycle Test -5 Class: II -B.E ME, AE & CE Date : 26-03-2012 Answer all the questions. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Part A Time : 45 Minutes Marks : 25 Marks (5x2=10)

Define Moment of force about a point and what is the unit of moment? Write short notes on equilibrium of particles in space. Explain Varignons theorem. Illustrate the formulae for Resultant force and the direction of the resultant force. Write briefly about the sign convention of the moment of forces. Part B

(2x7.5=15)

6. PQRST(from top to bottom). At points P and S forces act towards right and at points Q, R and T force act towards left. Distance PQ= 1m, QR = 3m, RS = 2m and ST=2m. Determine the magnitude and direction of the horizontal resultant force. Find the distance of resultant force from point P. 7. Determine i)single force ii0couple at A iii) couple at B for following fig
