ASSESSMENT ASSIGNMENT 1 (STATICS)
TITLE
IDENTIFY THE REAL LIFE APPLICATION BASED ON CONCEPT OF STATIC

MARKS 20 CO2 5%
REQUIREMENTS NO TASK NAME MARK
PART A: APPLY KNOWLEDGE & SKILL
1 To explain theorectical concept
a What is equilibrium? Explain the conditions of coplanar forces
b Discuss moment of a force and couple moment with example
c State principle of transmissibility of a force
d Discuss the Perpendicular axis theorem
2 To apply Force Vectors principle

Determine the maximum mass of the

engine that can be supported wihout
R 3-2
exceeding a tension of 2 kN in chain AB
and 2.2 kN in chain AC

3 To apply Equilibrium Equation of particle & rigid body

The rigid metal strip of negligible weight is

used as part of an electromagnetic switch.
If the stiffness of the springs at A and B is
k = 5 N/m and the strip is originally P 5 -49
horizontal when the springs are
unstretched, determine the smallest force F
needed to close the contact gap at C.

4 To apply force system resultant and Moment

 Replaced the distributed loading by an
equivalent resultant force, and couple P 4-146
moment at point A.

5 To locate the centroid of a composite body

Determine the centroid ӯ of the beam's

P 9-64
cross sectional area

6 To determine the Moments of Inertia for a composite area

Determine the orientation of the principal

axes, which have their origin at centroid C
P 10-75
of the beam's cross-sectional area. Also,
find the principal moments of inertia.
