reactions only occur when an object is in contact with a plane.

M1 Jan 2013 --> 65/75 = 82% = A.
I felt I honestly deserved a A* on this paper but Q3 = :shot:

but lesson learnt in future resolving questions. :sigh:

Mistakes & tips for future past papers:
- lost 2 marks on vectors because I didn't realise that if a vector is west its j component is zero and also to draw a clear diagram with what they are asking for.
- I lost a full 8/8 marks on Q3 because I :dontknow:

how to resolve it until after I looked at the solutions

I'll be recording every past paper score that I do and my overall notes/opinion on that past paper.

Past papers completed = 3/13. (edexcel regular + edexcel IAL) [excluding x2 MAM pp closer to exam date]
I know I'm running behind :work:

Guys say if I have a question like the one below where they are not separately marked (this was out of 10 for getting both answers) does it matter which answer I get first, e.g. can I find M first and then the force exerted at P or do I have to do the order they give?

(a) (i) find the magnitude of the force exerted on the plank by the support at P,
(ii) find the value of M

Yes you will lose marks in most if not all cases.

What are some of the hardest past papers people have come across for M1? Doesn't have to be Edexcel (and I'd prefer non-Edexcel ones, since I think I've done the hard ones from that :tongue:

)

haha its a paper that cryptokyo made, question 2 is rock solid.

When can you assume that the reaction forces at two supports are the same? Is it only when the questions tell you they are, otherwise always assume they are not the same magnitude?

Recent AQA papers, and also Delphis ones.

Only when they tell you they are, definitely
