All 10 questions on Resolving forces and inclined planes, as a list
- June 2025, Paper 1, Q14 (15 marks): In this question the i and j vectors are horizontal and vertically upward respectively. A particle of mass 5 kg is at rest on a rough horizontal shelf. The coef
- June 2024, Paper 1, Q3 (5 marks): A particle hangs at the end of a string. A horizontal force of magnitude F N acting on the particle holds it in equilibrium so that the string makes an angle of
- June 2023, Paper 1, Q13 (12 marks): A block of mass 8 kg is placed on a rough plane inclined at 15° to the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is 0.3. One end o
- June 2022, Paper 1, Q5 (5 marks): A sphere of mass 3 kg hangs on a string. A horizontal force of magnitude F N acts on the sphere so that it hangs in equilibrium with the string making an angle
- June 2022, Paper 1, Q13 (12 marks): A toy train consists of an engine of mass 0.5 kg pulling a coach of mass 0.4 kg. The coupling between the engine and the coach is light and inextensible. The tr
- November 2021, Paper 1, Q12 (7 marks): A box of mass m kg slides down a rough slope inclined at 15° to the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the box and the slope is 0.4. The box has an
- November 2020, Paper 1, Q15 (9 marks): Fig. 15 shows a particle of mass m kg on a smooth plane inclined at 30° to the horizontal. Unit vectors i and j are parallel and perpendicular to the plane, in
- June 2019, Paper 1, Q13 (5 marks): A 15 kg box is suspended in the air by a rope which makes an angle of 30° with the vertical. The box is held in place by a string which is horizontal. (a) Draw
- June 2019, Paper 1, Q16 (14 marks): A particle of mass 2 kg slides down a plane inclined at 20° to the horizontal. The particle has an initial velocity of .1 4ms 1 - down the plane. Two models for
- June 2018, Paper 1, Q11 (7 marks): Fig. 11 shows two blocks at rest, connected by a light inextensible string which passes over a smooth pulley. Block A of mass 4.7 kg rests on a smooth plane inc
