C and are loaded as shown. Determiné the tension List out the conditions of equilibrium for i) Coplanar Non-concurrent system ii) Nlon-concurrent Non-coplanar system A 60 KN force passes from point A(, 18, 2.4) to point B(7.2, 0, 4.8). Find the moment of this force about point C(7.2, 3.6, 2.4) State the laws of dry friction. A 1500N block is supported by a rope that is wrapped 15 times around a horizontal rod. Knowing that the co-efficient of static friction between the rope and the rod is 0.15, determine the range of values of p for which equilibrium is maintained. ‘State the location of centroid of semi-circle arc whose radius is r, with a sketch,State parallel axis theorems. A steel ball is thrown vertically upwards from the top of a building 25m above the ground with and initial velocity of 18 m/sec. Find the maximum height reached by the ball from the ground. State work-Energy principle. Define the term co-efficient of friction. A homogenous circular disk 1.8 m diameter has a mass of 365 kg and is made to revolve about and axis passing through its centre by a force of 350 N applied tangentially to its circumference. Determine the angular acceleration of the disk.
