    The document discusses two questions from a tutorial on structural mechanics. The first question asks to determine the unstretched length of a spring if a 400N force causes an angle of 60 degrees, given the spring constant and length of one cord. The second question asks to determine the largest mass of a cylinder that can be in equilibrium, given the maximum tension cables can withstand.

    Question 1
    Determine the unstretched length of spring AC if a force P = 400 N causes the
    angle θ = 60° for equilibrium. Cord AB is 0.6m long. Take k = 850 N/m.
