I also got these results...

Overall though I thought it was a pretty tough paper and I've averaged 90% or so in my mocks.... So crossing fingers for lower grade boundaries! I think the max I've dropped is 15 marks.

Think around 56 for an A?

Think I proved y = 9a/16 right, got x = 0 and z = 5a/8?

I got that, made a sign error on the explosion bit in q1 and got u=32.1 and v=28.6

Anybody remember the angle that B made with the vertical? Think I got 35 degrees.

I think that the January 13 paper was probably the most similar??? I personally found this one tougher than that - although you could say that the question on moments and stuff was easier than the Jan paper... so I think around 55 or so is correct yes!

Looking at those grade boundaries it is 53 for an A and for June it was 50.... :cool:

If I get less than a B though I would be really surprised - I honestly think a high B or low A - I can make that up in C3 and C4 I think....

How did you find it?

I got those aswell, you think we'll get an ecf mark for the kinetic energy bit?

M2 is probably my weakest module for Further Maths, I'm doing maths on Edexcel... But I thought this paper was quite difficult, I'd be happy with a B, so I can make it up in FP2 and S2

I'd hope so

35 degrees definitely rings a bell but I can't remember the context of the question.

Good stuff, Can you remember what you got for the internal forces on the framework?

I think it was the tipping of the cube question.

Which question? I remember getting an angle like 34.99... then rounding it to 35 degrees.

Well that was horrendous. Didn't even start question 4.

Yes, and for the coeff. of restitution after that I think I got 0.373 or 0.313 something like that.
