    This document contains a roll number and 5 questions related to mechanics for a civil and mechanical engineering exam. Question 1 asks about calculating reactions on points of contact for two spheres resting in a horizontal channel. Question 2 asks about determining maximum weight and forces for a lamp supported by two cables and a bar. Question 3 asks about determining the load required to maintain equilibrium for a system of levers. Question 4 asks about determining the intensity of a uniform distributed load on a rigid frame supported by a roller and fixed support. Question 5 asks about determining forces in members of a truss supported by a roller and hinge and identifying zero force members.
