    questions. Mark only one answer for each item by shading the box
    corresponding to the letter of your choice on the answer sheet provided.
    STRICTLY NO ERASURES ALLOWED. GOOD LUCK.

    with cross-sectional area of 113 mm2. If θ = 30° and α = 45°,

    1. Find the largest weight, W (kN), that can be carried by the wires if the
    maximum stress in the wires is not to exceed 124 MPa.

    B. 181 D. 127

    Situation 2. In Figure MEC-102, the homogenous bars AB and BC are identical,


    each having a mass of 100 kg. The coefficient of static friction between

    B. 833.76 D. 1,011.3

    Situation 3. Three cables are used to tether a balloon as shown in Figure MEC-
    103. Knowing that the balloon exerts a 1000 N vertical force and the wind
    exerts a 100 N force along positive x-direction both acting at point A.
