Gelal Paper Of HITLER County.
The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1880-03-19

MIR. EDITOR: Several teachers having consult
ed me concerning the following problem, have
concluded to avail myself of your kindness tore
ply once for all:
How far from the end of a stick of timber, 30
feet long, of equal size from end 10 end, must a
handspike be placed so that men, at the hand
spike and one at the end of the stick, may each
carry one-third of its weight"
When the stick is sustained in horizontal po-
stion, its weight must be regarded as concentrated
at the centre of the stick that is at point equally
distant from each end Notice that we should so
regard it if we using the stick scale-beam,
with equal arms, suSpendng equal weights at its
ends. We should then take no note of the weight
of the stick, because it rests upon the fulcrum at
the centre, and the stick would be regarded as an
ntleXible rod without weight. Now suppose It's
weight concentrated at its central point, we will
say 300 lbs. One man, by the conditions of the
question, is placed at the end of the stick ID feet
from the weight; the two other men must be sc
placed that their portion of the weight, 200 lbs.
multiplied by its distance from the weight, (the
central point.) shall equal the 100 lbs into its dis
lance, u feet: 100 multiplied by u equals 1900
1900 divided by 200 equals * feet from the cen
tire of the stick.
A weight resting ON II horizontal bar which il
sustained by two perpendicular supports at differ
cnt distances from the weight, bears upon thest
supports invcrsey as these distances. IF the sup
ports at equal distances, they bear equal part
of the weight: If at foot and feet they bear
inverSnly rs their distances. twO-thirds and one
third of the weight.
II is much to be regretted that our arithmetic
and agcbraS do not contain many questions il
mechanics like the above. g.. G.. &.
