2. Prove the proposition, "If two forces, acting at any angles on the arm of any lever, balance each other, they are

inversely as the perpendiculars drawn from the fulcrum to the directions in which the forces act.”

3. The direction of two forces, P and Q, which act on a bent lever and keep it at rest, make equal angles with the arms of the lever, which are at 6 and 8 inches respectively. Find the ratio of Q to P.

5. Prove the proposition, "When a body of uniform density floats on a fluid, the part immersed: the whole body:: the specific gravity of the body: the specific gravity of the fluid."

6. If the difference of readings of a thermometer, which is graduated both according to Fahrenheit's and the Centigrade scale, be 40, find the temperature in each scale.

1. Define Force; Weight; Mass; and Density. How are forces represented?

2. Give the axioms of the lever. Assuming the properties of the straight lever, prove the laws of the bent lever.

3. Can the resultant of two forces, in any case, be equal to one of the components? If so, what are the conditions?

6. Prove that when a body of uniform density floats on a fluid, the part immersed: the whole body :: the specific gravity of the body: the specific gravity of the fluid.

7. Prove that the elastic force of air at a given temperature varies as the density. A barometer is sunk to the depth of twenty feet in a lake, find the consequent rise in the mercurial column. (Specific gravity of mercury = 13.57.)

1. Describe the different kinds of levers, giving examples of each kind.

2. Enunciate the Parallelogram of Forces. Assuming it to be true for the direction of the resultant, prove it for the magnitude of the resultant.
