Probably 2... I didn't write it, either

did anyone get 1.6m and 66kg for the moments question? I was almost 100% sure that was right

How many marks do you think I will lose for not writing the bearing for the last question (i got the correct magnitude - 16.6N).

I think you will find its the same as 135deg from the horizontal not 45

The magnitude is 16.6N not -16.6. I imagine you will probably only lose 1 or 2 for not writing the direction.

I got the same as you. I did the question 3 times and got the same answer each time so...

What was the bearing??

I would have thought that saying 135 or 45 from horizontal are both wrong if there is no clockwise/anti-clockwise mentioned. I wrote 45 degrees from horizontal-south west then added bearing of 225.

i got 1.2m and 42kg...

I can't remember the order of questions and I may have missed a few out but here are my answers

1) bearing 104
Position vectors
640i + 640j
2) T = 20.6
R= 15.45
3) impulse 3Ns
4) graph sketch
Total time = 40 and T was 18.75 or something
5) coefficient of friction : u = 0.73
6) (moments)1.2m and 42kg or something
7) 2.5i + 2.5j
Speed 13m/s
8) 11.74 or something
Pulley - 16.something at 45 degrees into plane (225 bearing)

i got 1.2m and 42kg...
