Calculate the resultant forces and resultant moments about points A for both objects using the indicated methods (4 marks for each object). 200N 4s 10 em 10 am| | 150N « 25cm 106m 1.1) Scalar Analysis 1.2) Vector Analysis 2. A bar with equally distributed weight is in equilibrium in the position illustrated below. If the bar is 2 m in length and 50 N in weight, calculate the tension in the rope (4 marks) and the minimum required coefficient of static friction, (6 marks). ana - =H HH - Horizontal line A bar with length of2 mand weight of 50 N Rough contact surface3. Centroid and distributed forces a) 3 boxes below, 2 rectangles and 1 triangle in 2D, have different dimensions and densities. Assuming that each box has its own weight distributed equally within itself, calculate the position of the centroid of the total weight. Please note that this centroid is not at the same place as the centroid of the total area and you need both x and y to indicate a location.
