Stetson of Maine - , will be present and address thc association. Another prominent feature will he thc - inter-hig-h- school dcbatc. Thc physics classes of thc county have been asked to send in solutions of thc following problem : A plank 12 feet long , and weighing 24 lbs is supported by 2 props , one 3 feet from one end and the other 1 foot from thc other citd. What is thc pressure on each prop ? Thc following solution is given by .1. F. Helf 'of thc Salem high school ; Let A B be thc board , C and D thc props. AC equals 3. BD equals 1. Let P bc thc center - tel' of thc board which is also thc center of gravity of thc boa'rd. Then thc entire weight is concentrated - ccntratcd at P. CP equals 3. PD equals S. Let 'V equal thc pressure - sure at C.2e.t'V equals pressure at D. Then S'V equals 120.V . equals 15 Ib and 24-'V cquals ) pounds The following solution is by Harry Gardner of the Falls City high school : Given AB , a plank , 12 ft long , weighing : 24 Ibs , supportcd by C D , C being 3 ft from A and D be- ing 1 ft from B. eo rind pressure - sure on C and on D respect \'cly. Let E he pain 2 ft from A. It is evident that if we consider EB as separate from AE that its weight , tcn-twclfths x24 is equally - ly supported by C and D , each sustaining 101bs. rl'hen regard- ing C as a fulcrum , apply .A.B. It is evident that. thc pressure at D varies with the difference in downward pressure existing between - tween - thc two arms pf thc lever taking C as a fulcrum. Without AE the. .1itTcrel1 is fol1ows--- as - - - CB weighs lS 1 bs wi than average leverage of 4 , 1-2 f1. CE weighs 2 lbs with an average leverage of 11-2 ft. (1Sx41-2)-(2x1-2) ( ( ) equals Sl-1 or 80. With Al the ditTercnce is as follows CB weighs 18 lbs with an a\"cr- agq of 4 1-2 ft. CA weighs 6 , lbs with an average leverage of 4 1-2 ft. (18 ( x 4 1-2) ) - (6 ( x 1 1-2) ) equals 81- equals 72. 'rhcr-.forc tIs evident that by thc application . of AE the ( down , ward pressure of CB and com e- . - - quently thc pressure at D is reduced - duccd eight-eightieths or onc- tenth. L"'hcrcfore the pressure at D equals 10 lbs - ( onc-tcnth x 10) ) cquals Ibs. The pressure Lt , C equals 24 lbs 1 - < ) lbs equals 15 lbs. ' .
