2. ALL the calculations should consist of at least the following THREE steps:
4. Number the answers according to the numbering system used in this question
paper.
QUESTION 1: DYNAMICS
1.2 FIGURE 1, DIAGRAM SHEET (attached) shows a car been observed from A
to B where it stops. After a certain period of time, it reverses from C to D.
1.2.4 What is the displacement of the car? From A until the end of the
journey. (1)
1.4 The maximum deceleration of a train is 10 m/s. If the train is travelling at 100
km/h
1.4.1 The time it takes for the train to come to rest. (2)
1.4.2 The absolute minimum distance needed for the train to stop (2)
[14]
QUESTION 2: STATICS
2.1 FIGURE 2, DIAGRAM SHEET (attached) shows A uniform beam carries point
loads or concentrated loads,L and R are supports.
2.1.2 Check your answer by using Newton third law of motion that is
balancing upward and downward forces (1)
3.1 A ball with a mass of 2 kg rests on an incline with an angle of 10°. The ball is
to be released to roll down the incline plane, neglecting all friction.
3.1.4 The original height that the ball has rolled from, in order to reach the
bottom of the slope at 20 m/s (2)
[8]
4.1.1 Calculate the total weight of the bricks as well as the weight of the
chain. (2)
4.1.2 Make neat line label sketch of the force/distance graph with the
information given above. (3)
4.1.3 Calculate the work done in winding up the total length of the chain with
the block of bricks attached to the end of the cable. (3)
4.1.4 The power applied when the end of the cable is 35 m from the drum
and the velocity is 10 m/s (1)

5.2 A pulley is driven at 850 r/min by a flat belt moving at a speed of 12 m/s. The
tension in the tight side of the belt is 360N and the tension ratio of the tight side
to the slack side is 8:3.
5.3 A differential pulley block with an efficiency of 68% has a mechanical advantage
of 40. The large pulley has 22 number of slots.
QUESTION 6: FRICTION
6.1 A body with a mass of 0,015 tonnes rest on an incline of 15° with the horizontal,
the frictional force between the body and the plane is 65 N
6.1.3 The force required to pull the body down the incline at a constant
velocity (2)
6.2 Calculate the absolute pressure in kPa at the bottom of a column of mercury
with a height of 400 mm. (3)

7.4 A steel nut is heated to a temperature of 750 ℃ and was quenched into a
container with 790 g of water at 18 ℃. If the final temperature of the water is
29 ℃. Calculate the mass of the nut. (4)
