A body acted upon by a balanced force system. The resultant is equal to zero. The action and reaction forces between two particles area always equal and oppositely directed.
- A.
Static Equilibrium
- B.
Force
- C.
Resultant
- D.
Transmissibility
Correct Answer
A. Static EquilibriumExplanation
Static equilibrium refers to a state in which a body is at rest and not moving. In this state, the forces acting on the body are balanced, meaning that the resultant force is equal to zero. This means that the body is not experiencing any acceleration or movement. The statement also mentions that the action and reaction forces between two particles are always equal and oppositely directed. This is known as Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Therefore, the correct answer is static equilibrium, as it describes the balance of forces and lack of movement.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. ForceExplanation
The explanation for the correct answer "Force" is that force is defined as the action of one body upon another. It can occur due to direct contact between two bodies, or through magnetic or gravitational attraction. Additionally, force can also be generated by moving bodies due to inertia. Therefore, force encompasses all the mentioned scenarios and is the most appropriate answer.Rate this question:

- A.
Static Equilibrium
- B.
Force
- C.
Resultant
- D.
Transmissibility
Correct Answer
C. ResultantExplanation
A resultant is a single force that has the same effect as a force system consisting of multiple forces. In other words, it is the net force that combines all the individual forces into one. When a force system is in static equilibrium, the resultant force is zero, meaning that all the forces cancel each other out and there is no net force or movement. Therefore, the resultant force alone can produce the same effect as the force system.Rate this question:

Transmissibility
Correct Answer
D. TransmissibilityExplanation
Transmissibility refers to the property of a force where its external effect on a body remains the same regardless of the point of application of the force, as long as it is applied along the same line of action. This means that the force will produce the same result at any point along its line of action. In other words, the effect of the force on the body is independent of where it is applied, as long as it is applied along the same line.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. CoupleExplanation
The resultant in this case is a couple. A couple is a pair of equal and opposite forces that act on a body but do not produce any translational motion. Instead, they create a rotational effect on the body. In other words, a couple produces a turning effect or torque without any linear displacement.Rate this question:

- C.
Force / Couple
Correct Answer
C. Force / CoupleExplanation
The given answer "Force / Couple" suggests that the resultant is a combination of both force and couple. This means that there is an applied force acting on an object along with a couple, which is a pair of forces with equal magnitude but opposite direction and parallel lines of action. The presence of both force and couple indicates that there is both a linear and rotational effect on the object.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Axial DeformationExplanation
Axial deformation refers to the change in length of a member along its axis due to the application of an axial load. When a member is subjected to tension, it tends to elongate, causing axial deformation. Similarly, when a member is subjected to compression, it tends to shorten, resulting in axial deformation. This is because the load is acting parallel to the member axis, and the stress is uniform for homogeneous sections. Therefore, the correct answer is axial deformation.Rate this question:

Bearing
Correct Answer
E. BearingExplanation
Bearing is the correct answer because stress due to direct contact between two bodies is commonly referred to as bearing stress. When two bodies come into direct contact with each other, the stress is distributed over a small area, resulting in high pressure between the contact surfaces. This type of stress is often seen in applications where one body supports the weight or load of another body, such as in mechanical bearings.Rate this question:

A. Method of JointsExplanation
The method of joints is a technique used to analyze truss structures. It involves analyzing the equilibrium of each joint in the truss. The axial forces of the members enclosing a triangle are represented by a force polygon. The analysis starts at a joint with known external forces and requires two members connecting that joint. This method allows for the determination of the forces in each member of the truss.Rate this question:

Method of Joints
- B.
Method of Sections
- C.
Method of Pull-Out
- D.
Method of Jointed Sections
Correct Answer
B. Method of SectionsExplanation
The method of sections is a technique used to analyze truss structures. It involves cutting a section across the truss length, passing through members with unknown forces, but not more than 3 members. This creates a non-concurrent force system. The next step is to analyze the free body diagram of the section, considering the forces that are acting on it. By assuming a direction for the member force and choosing an arbitrary point, the equilibrium equation EM = 0 can be used to solve for one unknown force. If the calculated value is positive, it indicates that the assumed direction is correct. If the calculated value is negative, it means that the assumed direction is wrong, but the magnitude is correct.Rate this question:

A determinate structure is a type of structure in which the reaction components and internal stresses can be completely determined using the equations of static equilibrium. This means that all the forces and moments acting on the structure can be calculated and the structure can be analyzed using the principles of statics. In a determinate structure, the number of unknowns is equal to the number of equations available, allowing for a unique solution to be obtained. This is in contrast to an indeterminate structure, where the number of unknowns exceeds the number of equations, resulting in multiple possible solutions.Rate this question:

- D.
L/480
Correct Answer
D. L/480Explanation
The correct answer is L/480. This means that the allowable deflection for members of roof or floor construction supporting or attached to non-structural elements that are likely to be damaged by large deflections is L/480. This is a more stringent requirement compared to the other options, such as L/240 or L/360, which means that the deflection allowed is smaller.

Method of analyzing frames wherein: > Inflection points are at midspan of all members > Shear of interior columns is twice the shear of exterior columns > Summation of horizontal shear on columns at certain level is equal to the sum of all horizontal forces above that level.
- A.
Method of Joints
- B.
Method of Sections
- C.
Portal Method
- D.
Method of Jointed Sections
Correct Answer
C. Portal MethodExplanation
The correct answer is Portal Method. The Portal Method is a method of analyzing frames that is used to determine the internal forces and moments in the members of a structure. In this method, the inflection points are assumed to be at the midspan of all members. It also assumes that the shear of interior columns is twice the shear of exterior columns. Additionally, it states that the summation of horizontal shear on columns at a certain level is equal to the sum of all horizontal forces above that level. This method is commonly used for analyzing portal frames, which are a type of structural system often used in buildings and bridges.Rate this question:
