The resultant force of a wind loading acts perpendicular to the face of the sign as shown. Replace this force by an equivalent force and couple moment acting at point O.

The boy (hanging) in the picture weighs 100 lb and the woman weighs 200 lb. The coefficient of static friction between her shoes and the ground is 0.8. Between the cliff and the rope, assume µβ ≤ 0.2. The boy will ______ ?  (Assume that the girl is using her 100% effort.)

If a vertical strip is chosen to find the centroid coordinates of the area shown in the figure, what would be the centroid location of this VERTICAL STRIP?

The part (area) shown in the figure, what is the y coordinate of the centroid location?

Determine the magnitude of the internal loads (normal, shear, and bending moment) at point C.

A 10 lb block is in stationary. What is the magnitude of the friction force between this block and the surface?

What is the x coordinate of the centroid location of the area shown in the figure? Note: y = 9 – x2 , where x=3 ft and y=9ft

Determine the horizontal and vertical components of force at pins A and C of the two-member frame.
