The Attempt at a Solution
Look at Q22)
I could do a and b but had issues with c)
for ci) would I be correct in thinking:
- The dotted line is "tension"
- the line straight down from the dot is "weight"
- the dark, diagonal line is contact force
?
for cii)
I would have said that weight = sin(40) * h
so 640 / sin(40) = h = 995.66
BUT
The markscheme says that the force balancing weight is 640 * sin(40) = 411.4
Can someone help me understand all this?
