1. A pipeline crossing a river is suspended from a steel cable stretched between the posts 100 m apart. The weight of the pipe and the cable is
15 kg/m assumed to uniformly distributed horizontally. If the allowed sag is 2 m, determine the tension of the cable at the posts.

2. Determine the allowable spacing of poles designed to carry an. aluminum cable weighing'0.03 kg/m distributed horizontally if the maximum
tension at the lowest point is 1250 kg and the allowable sag is 0.5 m. Assume a factor of safety of 2.

3. A cable weighing 0.40 kg/m and 800 m long is to be suspended with sag of 80 m. Determine the span.
4. A cable 200 m long weighs 50 N/m and is supported from two points at the same elevation. Determine the required sag if the máximum
tension that the cable can carry shall not exceed
8000 N.

5. A 900 N.weight hangs on a vertical rope. A man pushes this weight horizontally until the rope makes an angle of 40° with the vertical.What is
the tension in the rope?__

6. Find the resultant of two coplanar forces 120 N, 78° and.70 N, 293°.
7. The three concurrent forces acting on the body as shown are in equilibrium. Which of the following most nearly gives the vertical
component of the 77.8 kN force?

8. A boat is being towed through a cana! by a horizontal cable , which makes an angle of.10° with the shore. If the pull on the cable is 200 N,
find the force tending to move the boat along the canal.

9. Two cables support a 500-lb weight as shown. Determine the tension in cable AB.
10. A 100 kg weight rests on a 30° inclined plane. Neglecting friction how 'much pull must one exert to bring the weight up the plane?
11. A telephone pole is supported by a guy wire which exerts a pull of 200 Ibs on the top of the pole. If the angle between the wire
and the pole is 50°, what is the vertical component of the pull on the pole?
12. Find the number of ways two 25 centavo, four 20 centavo and six 10 centavo coins can be given to 12 children.
13. A triangle has a base and altitude of 10 m and 20 m respectively. It is divided into two equal areas by a line parallel to the base. How far from
the base is the dividing line?
14. A troop of soldiers marched 15 km going to the concentration camp after they were forced to surrender at the same time that the victorious
general who is supervising the march rode from the rear of the troop to the front and back at once to the rear. If the distance covered by the
victorious general is 25 km and both the troop and the general traveled at uniform rate, how long is the troop?
15. If (3,-2) lies on the circle with center at (-1,1) then the equation of the circle is
