A Level Maths Mechanics question
Can someone help with this question.
Says A is on the point of moving down the plane and is on a rough plane.
So shouldn't horizontal motion be greater than tension and friction? So the equation of motion be:
mgsin30 - F - T = ma ?? (where F is friction and mgsin30 is resolving parallel to the plane)
The mark scheme's equations:
T + F - mgsin30 = ma (for part (a)(ii))
T - F - mgsin30 = ma (for part (b))
But that would mean tension > horizontal motion, meaning A is moving up the plane??

Have you drawn the force diagram and labelled everything?
The system is on the point of moving (limiting equilibrium) so the forces pulling up and the forces pulling down exactly equal each other
In part aii and part b, the value of lambda and mu are different, that’s why you get different equations

Ohh ok so for part (a) forces up equal forces down.
For part (b) though, because it is now accelerating, I thought the equation for particle A would be mgsin30 - T - F = 1/4 mg , but the mark scheme says T - F - mgsin30 = 1/4 mg.
Particle A is moving down the slope so shouldn't horizontal force be greater than tension + friction ?

i worked it all out, got the first answer right but cannot do question b

Here's the question with diagram:
Can someone honestly just explain the whole question to me cause mechanics is gonna be the death of me fr.

Do you know what the answers are?

That’s definitely MEI! Did you go and see the additional assessments 2021, I believe they have the same type of questions on this.
+ this doesn’t look like a 2020 mechanics (I’ve done this paper before in my school) I’m thinking it’s a 2019 P1

It’s ocr alevel maths pure & mechanics 2018 paper. The mark scheme is on the ocr website

Oh okay thanks I got both answers right do you still want to see the working out I did?
