Can someone okease tell me. The horizontal force at X, is it clockwise or anticlockwise? Taking moment about B. image.jpg


Clockwise

Can anyone help me with how you do question 5 january 2006, finding the centre of mass of a a triangle WITHOUT THE LAMINA


This should help, kind of. Just look at the part were he does the triangle.

How did you figure that?

Where it's from, you mean?
And thanks!

Yeah I said that, didn't I? :P

Looks like you need to understand moments... This is a different example but its similar. Basically x has 2 components. One of them acts in the same direction as the plane, which creates no turning effect but the one perpendicular to the plane is what you have to visualise...ImageUploadedByStudent Room1370463473.086650.jpg

When a question (like 2a of June 2012) asks you to find the SPEED of particles after a collision, and you've worked out the velocity, how can you know if it is the speed or you need to convert?

Thanks!

january 2013 paper was really easy - hopefully that does't mean tomorrows paper will be really hard

We can't know by using a pen to visualise moments in my example, can we? ._.
Thanks for your help!

Oh right! That makes sense, haha. Okay how about this. The horizontal at X, is it clockwise or anticlockwise? Taking moment about B. image.jpg


X is acting clockwise. There's quite a simple trick to figuring this out; if the rod were fixed at B and you applied a large force in the direction of X, would the rod go about B clockwise or would it go about anticlockwise? Quite obviously it would immediately go clockwise, so that's the direction the moment is acting in.

after panicking I realised what to do its that sum of mass thing


Ok:smile: Good luck with that sum of the mass thing.

So the question asks find, to the nearest degree the size of the angle AB makes with the horizontal

How do u know which one is the horizontal and which one is the vertical :s

Also June 2012 was quite hard so it might just be :frown:

Oh this is easy! Thank you! :biggrin:
Just get the feeling its going to be terribly difficult. Jan's paper was relatively simple. Anyhow, goodluck everyone, and please god 80 ums would be swell. :biggrin:

What do you guys reckon the M2 paper will be like? Hard like June 2012 and Jan 2010, or something a bit simpler?
