3 weight with 2 strings



q2 girl on pulley

  2.     (a)     (pulley wheel) at rest / in equilibrium / acceleration is zero                                B1
(b)     (i)      500 N force down and general shape correct                                            B1
angles correct (one angle labelled correctly)                                             B1
T1 and T2 directions labelled correctly                                                     B1

(ii)     Formulae correct (resolving or sin rule) / scale diagram drawn correctly
with scale given                                                                                     B1
T1 = 674 (N) allow 650 to 700 for scale diagram                                      A1

T2 = 766 (N) allow 740 to 790 for scale diagram                                      A1

q1 masses on pulley

1.(a)  (i)      1.     mass = 360 / 9.8 36.7 (kg)                                                               B1
        (allow 2sf)
(ii)     2.     density = mass / volume                                                                  C1
                   = 36.7 / 4.7 ´ 10–3
                   = 7.8 ´ 10–3                                                                         A1
          unit kg m–3                                                                                   B1
(ii)     right angled triangle with an additional correct angle marked                   M1
set of correct force labels and correct arrows                                            A1
algebra shown or scale given                                                                   C1
tension = 270 (N) or value in the range 255 to 285 (N)                             A1
  (b)   (i)      tension is a vector / has magnitude and direction                                      B1
direction involved in addition / the tensions or ropes act in
different directions                                                                                 B1
(ii)     sum =270 sin37 + 360 sin53                                                                   B1
       =162.5 + 287.5                                                                                B1

(or one mark each for values of 162.5 and 287.5 seen) = 450 (N)              A0

  3.     (a)     weight  = 28 × 9.8 / mg                                                                                    C1
            = 270 (N)      (274.4)                                                                          A1
(using g = 10 then –1)


(b)     a completed triangle drawn with correct orientation                                           B1
at least two labels for triangle with correct directions given                                B1
          calculation:                                     scale diagram:
force P / weight = tan 35                  scale given                                                C1
force P =192 (N)                             185 to 200 (N)                                          A1

  (c)    tension is greater                                                                                             B1
(reference to triangle) tension force would be greater (longer) as the holding
force P would be larger (longer) for greater angle / larger
value needed so vertical component still balances the weight                              B1

Resolving Forces




  1. A weight of 50.0 N is suspended from a beam by a string. Calculate the horizontal force must be applied to the weight to keep the string at an angle of 40° to the vertical. 65.3N  Calculate the tension in the string. 
  2. A weight of 20 N rests on a plane inclined at 40° to the horizontal. Calculate the components of the weight parallel to the plane and perpendicular to the plane.12.86N, 15.32N
  3. A weight of 4.33 N is suspended by a string fastened at its upper end. A horizontal force is applied to the weight so that the string makes an angle of 300 with the vertical. Calculate the force and the tension in the string.2.50N, 5.00N
  4. A 10 N weight rests on a smooth inclined plane. A force of 5N parallel to the plane is needed to prevent the weight slipping down the plane. Calculate the reaction of the plane and the angle the plane makes with the horizontal.8.66N ,300
  5. A garden roller of weight 800 N is being pulled along by a force of 200 N at 40° to the ground. Calculate (a) the force pulling the roller forwards, 153.2N(b) the vertical force exerted by the roller on the ground. 671.4 N
  6. Calculate the forces (a) 153.2N and (b) 928.6N in the previous problem if the roller is being pushed instead of being pulled.
