I. Translate into English :

(Α.) Ταῦτα εἰπὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐταράχθη τῷ πνεύματι, καὶ ἐμαρτύρησε καὶ εἶπεν, ̓Αμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὅτι εἷς ἐξ ὑμῶν παραδώσει με. Ἔβλεπον οὖν εἰς ἀλλήλους οἱ μαθηταὶ, ἀπορούμενοι περὶ τίνος λέγει. Ἦν δὲ ἀνακείμενος εἷς τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ κόλπῳ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, ὃν ἠγάπα ὁ Ἰησοῦς, νεύει οὖν τούτῳ Σίμων Πέτρος πυθέσθαι τίς ἂν εἴη περὶ οὗ λέγει. Ἐπιπεσὼν δὲ ἐκεῖνος ἐπὶ τὸ στῆθος τοῦ Ἰησοῦ, λέγει αὐτῷ, Κύριε, τίς ἐστιν; ἀποκρίνεται ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Ἐκεῖνος ἐστίν, ᾧ ἐγὼ βάψας τὸ ψωμίον ἐπιδώσω. καὶ ἐμβάψας τὸ ψωμίον, δίδωσιν Ἰούδᾳ Σίμωνος Ισκαριώτῃ. καὶ μετὰ τὸ ψωμίον, τότε εἰσῆλθεν εἰς ἐκεῖνον ὁ Σατανᾶς. λέγει οὖν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, “Ο ποιεῖς, ποίησον τάχιον.

(Β.) Καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἐδίωκον τὸν Ἰησοῦν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι, καὶ ἐζήτουν αὑτὸν ἀποκτεῖναι, ὅτι ταῦτα ἐποίει ἐν σαββάτῳ. Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἀπεκρίνατο αὐτοῖς, Ὁ πατήρ μου ἕως ἄρτι ἐργάζεται, κἀγὼ ἐργάζομαι. Διὰ τοῦτο οὖν μᾶλλον ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἀποκτεῖναι, ὅτι οὐ μόνον ἔλυε τὸ σάββατον ἀλλὰ καὶ πατέρα ἴδιον ἔλεγε τὸν Θεὸν, ἴσον ἑαυτὸν ποιῶν τῷ Θεῷ. Απεκρίνατο οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, ̓Αμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐ δύναται ὁ υἱὸς ποιεῖν ἀφ ̓ ἑαυτοῦ οὐδὲν, ἐὰν μή τι βλέπῃ τὸν πατέρα ποιοῦντα, ἃ γὰρ ἂν ἐκεῖνος ποιῇ, ταῦτα καὶ ὁ υἱὸς ὁμοίως ποιεῖ. Ὁ γὰρ πατὴρ φίλει τὸν υἱὸν, καὶ πάντα δείκνυσιν αὐτῷ ἃ αὐτὸς ποιεῖ.

MECHANICS.

Examiner.-W. J. REYNOLDS, ESQ., M.A.

1. Explain the terms component pressures, resultant pressure. Enunciate the proposition known as the parallelogram of pressures,

2. A lever 5 feet long "balances" horizontally, with no weights suspended from it, on a fulcrum 2 feet from one end. Will it so balance when 2 ounces are hung at the end of the longer arm, 3 ounces at the middle of the lever, and 5 ounces at the end of the shorter arm? Give the reason of your answer.

3. Explain the mechanical advantage of moveable pulleys.

A boy weighing 60 lbs. makes a swing by tying one end of a cord to a smooth horizontal bar, and then throwing the cord over the bar so as to form a loop in which he sits (with his feet off the ground), while he holds the hanging end of the cord in his hand. Determine the tension of the cord.

4. Define the term Centre of Gravity.

Explain the reason why the feat of touching the toes with the fingers without bending the knees cannot be performed by one who attempts it with his heels in contact with a vertical wall. 5. Define the terms uniform motion, uniformly accelerated motion.

A body moved from rest 6 seconds ago, with a motion uniformly accelerated. At the end of 1" its velocity was 6 feet per second. Determine the distance it has passed over, and the velocity it has acquired.

6. Enunciate the three Laws of Motion. Apply them respectively in the three problems below, to determine the positions and velocities of the bodies under the hypothetical circumstances described, at the end of 1" after the instant named in each problem.

A body resting on a perfectly smooth horizontal plane is acted on horizontally during 1" by a force which in 1" generates a velocity of 32, and which ceases to act at the instant when the 1" ends.

A body is projected horizontally, with a velocity of 40, from the top of a tower of such a height that a body dropped at the same instant would have struck the horizontal plane at the base of the tower in 1".

A man weighing 168 lbs. is pulling horizontally with a pressure of 350 lbs. by a cord without weight and 100 feet long at a body weighing 2240 lbs., at the instant when the horizontal plane on which both are resting becomes perfectly smooth.
