    This document is a midterm test from a Mechanical Engineering course at Ryerson University. It contains 3 questions related to mechanics of materials. Question 1 asks students to find reactions and tensions in a boom supported by a cable and pin using vector methods. Question 2 has two parts: part A asks for horizontal and vertical reaction components and a normal force, and part B asks students to locate the centroid of a composite area. Question 3 asks students to determine forces in various members of a truss and identify zero-force members. The test is worth 35% of the course grade and students have 110 minutes to complete it.
