Information :

These problems are from Statics 14th Edition, published by Pearson, © 2016 by R.C. Hibbeler. The pictures for problems are for

student’s use and review only.

Statics : 4.7 and 4.9 practice problems.

Note : This material is for review and I recommend you guys to solve it to prepare yourself for the course. This should not be considered the only

material to review for exams. You should also watch lecture videos and review course material posted by the professor. Also, don’t worry much

and stress for exams. If you have problem solving this, we can do it together. All the best for your exams :).

1.) Replace the loading system acting on the beam by an equivalent resultant force and

couple moment at point O.

2.) If the resultant force is required to act at the center of the slab, determine the

magnitude of the column loadings F A∧FB and the magnitude of the resultant force.

3.) The Building slab is subjected to four parallel column loadings. Determine the equivalent

resultant force and specify its location (x,y) on the slab. Take F1=8kN∧F3=9kN .

4.) Replace the distributed loading by an equivalent resultant force and couple moment

acting at point A.

5.) The distributed load acts on the shaft as shown. Determine the magnitude of the

equivalent resultant force and specify its location, measured from the support, A.
