JUNIOR PHYSICS.

A. Dynamics and Properties of Matter.

(Any four questions).

1. Calculate, in foot pounds, the work done in slowly pulling a 20-ton car 100 yards down a grade of one in two hundred, when the coefficient of friction is 0.01.

2. An adjustable stand for a lantern is made by hinging together at the edges four light square boards so that their unhinged edges form a rhombus. One of these boards is Screwed to the table and the height of the stand is regulated. by adjusting the length of a chain that forms the longer diagonal of the rhombus. In a certain case the chain is shortened until it makes an angle of 30° with each of the boards and then a lantern of mass 20 lbs. is placed centrally on the upper board. Neglecting the weight of the boards,

(a) determine the tension of the chain, and

(b) find the compressive stress in each of the two inclined boards.

(a) Find the velocity imparted to the box.

(b) Find how far the box is driven over the ice if the coefficient of friction be 0.04.

4. A brake shoe is pressed against the tire of a wagon wheel with a force of 500 lbs. wt. If the coefficient of friction be 0.40, find the power absorbed (in horse power) when wagon goes down hill at 3 mile per hour.
