9. Translate into English prose:

Sie sollen ihn nicht haben,

Den freien deutschen Rhein !

So lang sich Herzen laben (refresh)
An seinem Feuerwein.

So lang in seinem Strome
Noch fest die Felsen stehn,
So lang sich hohe Dome
In seinem Spiegel sehn.

Sie sollen ihn nicht haben,
Den freien deutschen Rhein,
Bis seine Flut begraben
Des letzten Manns Gebein.

6. At two stations, A and B, on a line of railway, the prices of coals are £p per ton and £q per ton respectively. If the distance

between A and B be d miles, and the rate for the carriage of coal be £r per ton per mile, find the distance from A of a station at which it makes no difference to a consumer whether he buys coals from A or from B.

Having found a formula, assume any numerical values you please for the quantities denoted by the above symbols, and verify the formula.

7. A man has 40 shots at a target. Each time he makes a bullseye he receives a shilling from his friend A; each time he misses the target he pays A sixpence. If he puts a shot on the target which misses the bullseye, he neither pays nor receives. The number of times he does this last is greater by five than the number of times he makes bullseyes. On the whole he loses 1s. 6d. How many bullseyes does he make?

GEOMETRY.

Time two hours.

1. Prove that the greater angle of every triangle is subtended by the greater side or has the greater side opposite to it.

ABC is a triangle having an obtuse angle at A. AB is produced through B to any point D, and AC is produced through C to any point E. Prove that DE is greater than BC.

2. If a straight line falling on two other straight lines makes the alternate angles equal to one another, prove that the two straight jines are parallel.

Through the extremities of a line AB two given parallel lines are drawn. Draw two other parallel lines through A and B which will intersect these so as to form a rhombus.

3. Describe a parallelogram that shall be equal to a given triangle, and have one of its angles equal to a given rectilineal angle.

4. Two quadrilaterals, ABCD, EFGH, are such that AB is equal and parallel to EF, BC is equal and parallel to FG, CD is equal and parallel to GH. Prove that DA is equal and parallel to HE.

5. Divide a given straight line into two parts, so that the rectangle contained by the whole and one part shall be equal to the square on the other.

6. The straight line AB is bisected at C. With C as centre a circle of any radius is described. Prove that the sum of the squares on the lines joining any point on this circle to A and B has the same value, no matter what the position of the point on the circle.

PHYSICS,

Time: two hours.

1. Describe a method of finding the area of an irregularly shaped figure. The diameter of a circle as measured by a scale is 106 cms., the measurement being taken to the nearest m.m. What is the degree of accuracy of this measurement, and if the area be calculated from the observed reading, taking as 3-1416, to what degree of accuracy is the area known?

2. Define density and specific gravity. How would you determine the density of a liquid?

6. Define latent heat of vaporization. 16.5 grms. of steam at 100° C are passed into 460 grms. of water at 20° C, and the temperature rises to 40° C. Find the latent heat of steam at 100° C, stating clearly the reasons for each step in your work.

7. Define Young's Modulus and Hooke's Law. Describe an experiment on the bending of beams to prove the relation between the bending force and the amount of bending.

What is meant by permanent set and limit of elasticity?

8. State the law of the parallelogram of forces. Hence show that no matter how many forces act on a particle, they may be replaced by a single force which will produce the same effect.
