	Introduction to Mechanical Designs and Vacuum: 	
	----------------------------------------------

    	Problem 1.1) a) How much does a beam line support column
	   bend if a physicist leans at 10 degrees with his shoulder
	   (5' above ground) against it? The physicist weights 200 lbs
	   and his center of gravity is 4' above ground. The support
	   column is fabricated from 1050 steel, schedule 40, 4" pipe
	   (4.50" O.D., 4.026" I.D.) and a 10"x10" base plate bolted to
	   the floor with four 1/4-20 SS bolts arranged in a 8x8" square. 
	b) How much are the bolts strained by the physicist?

	Problem 1.2) a) How much does a 10 lbs detector sag if it is
	   supported from a vertical plate with one 6" long, 304 SS,
	   1/4-20 all-threaded rod? 
	b) What is the tilt angle of the detector? 
	c) How much does the 10 lbs detector sag if it is supported 
	   with a four 6" long, 304 SS, 1/4-20 all-threaded rods, 
	   two 1" above and two 1" below the center line? 

	Problem 1.3) Design a 10" long mount where a 12 lbs detector 
	   sags less than 0.02" and the tilt is less than 0.5 degrees. 
	   The detector has on its back three 1/4-20 taps on a 1" bolt 
	   circle. Make mechanical drawings for all required parts 
	   including the 6"CF-flange to be modified.
