1. A weight is suspended by three cords to a fixed horizontal ring which passes through three loops, one at the extremity of each corda. Show that the cords cannot all be strained unless they are of equal length.

b. Determine the positions of equilibrium, distinguishing between those which are stable and those which are unstable.

c. Determine the positions of equilibrium in which the cord is, respectively, most likely and least likely to break.

2. A uniform beam is supported in a given horizontal position by a cord, attached to its extremities, and passing over two smooth pegs in the same horizontal line

a. Determine whether the probability that the pegs will break is increased or diminished by knotting the cord to them.

b. How is this conclusion modified if the pegs be rough?

3. A uniform rectangular board has one side in contact with a rough wall, and is supported by a string attached to the upper corner remote from the wall, passing over a pulley in the wall, situated vertically over the board, and sustaining a weight; determine the least value of the pressure against the wall.

4. A weight is attached by a cord to a fixed point; a second weight, equal to the first, is attached to it by an equal cord; show that the equations of the oscillations of the system so formed are of the form
