DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS Introduction to A level Mathematics Mechanics course workbook 2015-2016 Name:
Thank you for choosing to continue to study Mathematics in the sixth form at Caedmon College Whitby. The Mathematics Department is committed to ensuring that you make good progress throughout your A level course. We hope that you will use this workbook to give you an organised set of notes for revision and that it will help you enjoy and benefit from the course more. ORGANISATION Keep this workbook, worksheets, homework and assessments in a file + BOOK SCRUTINY You will be asked to hand this in/bring it along to a progress interview with your teacher or Mr Gower during the year TEXTBOOKS CALCULATOR ATTENDANCE ASSESSMENT REVISION BOOKLET TRIAL EXAM This workbook should be your main resource so we do not use a textbook in lessons. Resources are also available in the Learning Centre, but if you wish to use textbooks at home for homework and revision, then we recommend that you buy the course textbook: Pearson Modular Mathematics for Edexcel AS and A-level, Mechanics 1. The recommended calculator for the course is the Casio FX 85GT PLUS. If you wish to use a graphical calculator, make sure it is an approved one for exams We expect maximum attendance otherwise your place on the course may be at risk. Should you be unable to attend a lesson, for whatever reason, you MUST catch up on the work missed. You will need to copy someone else s notes and find out what exercises have been set. Where possible this should be done before the next lesson. Each chapter has a test and resit test. If you are falling behind in work and tests, a meeting will be called to discuss your progress. We expect all pupils to meet deadlines and maintain a minimum score close to their target grade in all assessments. If you are falling behind in work and tests, a meeting will be called to discuss your progress. We expect all pupils to maintain a minimum of close to their target grade in all assessments. We will produce revision a revision programme once you have completed all or most of the Mechanics course. As last year there will be an expectation that you do one chapter a week/fortnight to prepare for trial and actual exams. There will be one opportunity to resit the trial exam You may also find the following useful: For resources and links to video tutorials; exam papers and solutions.

M1WB: Moments WB13 A plank AB has length 4 m. It lies on a horizontal platform, with the end A lying on the platform and the end B projecting over the edge, as shown below. The edge of the platform is at the point C. Jack and Jill are experimenting with the plank. Jack has mass 40 kg and Jill has mass 25 kg. They discover that, if Jack stands at B and Jill stands at A and BC = 1.6 m, the plank is in equilibrium and on the point of tilting about C. By modelling the plank as a uniform rod, and Jack and Jill as particles, (a) Find the mass of the plank. They now alter the position of the plank in relation to the platform so that, when Jill stands at B and Jack stands at A, the plank is again in equilibrium and on the point of tilting about C. (b) Find the distance BC in this position. c) State how you have used the modelling assumptions that (i) the plank is uniform, (ii) the plank is a rod, (iii) Jack and Jill are particles.
M1WB: Moments WB14 A steel girder AB has weight 210 N. It is held in equilibrium in a horizontal position by two vertical cables. One cable is attached to the end A. The other cable is attached to the point C on the girder, where AC = 90 cm, as shown in the figure above. The girder is modelled as a uniform rod, and the cables as light inextensible strings. Given that the tension in the cable at C is twice the tension in the cable at A, find a) the tension in the cable at A, b) show that AB = 120 cm A small load of weight W newton s is attached to the girder at B. The load is modelled as a particle. The girder remains in equilibrium in a horizontal position. The tension in the cable at C is now three times the tension in the cable at A. c) Find the value of W.
