Find the pressures on the posts. SECTION II. 6. In the common steel-yard the moveable weight is 3 lbs. The length of the beam is 3 feet and its weight 7 lbs. The pan in which the body to be weighed is placed is at a distance of 3 inches from the point of suspension. Find the greatest weight that can be determined by means of the balance. 7. A weight rests upon an inclined plane and is supported by a power acting horizontally. Draw a diagram to represent the inclined plane and the forces that keep the body in equilibrium and deduce therefrom the mechanical advantage of the machine. 8. In the system of pulleys in which the same cord passes round all the pulleys the weight of the upper block is 35 lbs, and that of the lower 25 lbs. The lower block is supported by eight portions of the cord. A man sits in a pan attached to the lower block and supports himself by holding down the free end of the cord. What force does he exert in doing this? And what is the pressure sustained by the point from which the system is suspended? 7 7 7 7 9.
