ASSIGNMENT FMP202 STATICS FMP202 STATICS ASSIGNMENT 1. An elastic exercise band is grasped and then is stretched as shown in Figure 1 Knowing that the tensions in portions BC and DE of the band are 80 N and 60 N respectively, determine using force triangle (tip to tail rule) the required angle α if the resultant R of the two forces exerted on the hand at A is to be vertical and the corresponding magnitude ofR. 5 marks 10 FigureI 2. A cylinder of mass 2-kg sits on a bigger cylinder of mass 8-kg as shown in Figure 2 All surfaces are smooth. Determine the floor reactions at A. B and C when θ= 60..
