I. STATICS - EQUILIBRIUM OF FORCE SYSTEM: (15 Points)
Instruction: Solve the following problems, provide appropriate free
body diagrams and SHOW YOUR SOLUTIONS.
1. Cords are loop around a small spacer separating two cylinders
each weighing 400 lb and pass, as shown below over a frictionless
pulleys to weights of 200 lb and 400 lb. Determine the angle θ and
the normal pressure N between the cylinders and the smooth
horizontal surface.

II. UNITS AND MEASUREMENTS: (10 Points)

Instruction: Solve the following problems and SHOW YOUR
SOLUTIONS.

1. Assume that it takes 7.00 minutes to fill a 30.0-gal gasoline tank.

(a) Calculate the rate at which the tank is filled in gallons per
second.
(b) Calculate the rate at which the tank is filled in cubic meters per
second. 2. Forces P and F acting along the bars shown below maintain
equilibrium of pin A. Determine the values of P and F.
(c) Determine the time interval, in hours, required to fill a 1- m 3
volume at the same rate. (1 U.S. gal = 231 ¿3 )

2. A child loves to watch as you fill a transparent plastic bottle with

shampoo. Every horizontal cross-section is a circle, but the
diameters of the circles have different values, so that the bottle is
much wider in some places than others. You pour in bright green
shampoo with constant volume flow rate 16.5 cm 3/s. At what rate
is its level in the bottle rising
(a) at a point where the diameter of the bottle is 6.30 cm and
(b) at a point where the diameter is 1.35 cm?

3. The radius of a solid sphere is measured to be (6.50 ± 0.20) cm,

and its mass is measured to be (1.85 ±0.02) kg. Determine the 3. The five forces shown below are in equilibrium. Compute the
density of the sphere in kilograms per cubic meter and the values of P and F.
