Original post by MsFahima

Hey Guys!

I'm (resitting) doing Mechanics 1.. OCR exam board. Anyone doing it?

How are you feeling about this exam?

Any questions and stuff.. we can discuss here!
We have about 3 weeks left!

I haven't seen a M1 thread. If there is, please feel free to link me to it.

Hopefully we will have an unofficial mark scheme here (after the exam).

Good Luck everyone!

Diagrams. Always draw the forces and stuff on the diagrams. Helps so much.

Remember to take direction into consideration.

Remember f=ma. You'll use that alot.

Loads of past papers!

:biggrin:

What parts do you struggle with the most?

The newton's third law nonsense with tension. The rest of it seems okay. Do you know of any good resources?

Not really.. generally loads of past papers help but maybe you should watch worked examples videos? :biggrin:

Does anyone know why on the questions with smooth pulleys suspended by a chain, when calculating the tension in the chain, you take the weight of the pulley and the tension in the string into account but not the weight on the send of the string across the pulley? Sorry if that doesn't make sense, an example question is Q5iva June 2013

Put your effort revusing C3 and C4. M1 is totally useless for the A*.

Hey, Hope revision is going well for everyone! Just wondered if anyone would be able to help me on Q5 (i) C on the jan 2011 paper I would really appreciate it!!! A diagram with some workings would be really helpful - Its probably really easy but I'm just so confused when I look at the mark scheme! Thanks :smile:
