Hi people,
1) How to find the moment of inertia of a square of side - 2a - about an axis through its diagonal? Please explained how you obtained your answer.. .thanks

Hey, for Cambridge further maths, I am practicing OCR books , can anyone kindly name any other books i should follow? and any links to important e books ??? I have idea, any one doing the past papers, should post in the forum about which sums did they find the toughest and most challenging. Then we can try those sums and post solutions... this will make studying more efficient and useful...

For a square, the symmetrical effect makes it very easy to find the MOI about its diagonal. Just find the MOI about the axis perpendicular to the square lamina at its centre. Which is simply 2ma²/3. Now apply the perpendicular axis theorem i.e. I(z)=I(x)+I(y ). But since this is a square it will be I(z)=2I(x). Now remember that these x, y and z axis are totally imaginary. It's not necessary that the x and y axes are parallel to the sides of the square. These axes can also be parallel to the diagonal of the square. After all the diagonals of a square are perpendicular to each other. And I(z) is still perpendicular to both the diagonals. So just find the I(x) here by I(z)/2. So the answer here is ma²/3.

There is not a single book covering CIE further maths syllabus. It's a huge problem for us.
And about the second part, that is exactly what is happening in this topic. Just check out the previous pages.

It is out but CIE hasn't officially published it. So you'll have to wait a while until the results are announced.

Sorry to say, but there is no good book for CIE Further Maths. You can check out the Bostock and Chandler book. Or you can check the ACA notes but no book covers the CIE syllabus of P1. For P2 you can use the simple Maths Statistics and Mechanics books but that they also don't cover the details. You need a teacher and you need to solve past papers.

thanks OakMoon... I actually found the same , now i think the answer in my book was wrong..

i have a question
i know tension has to be greater than zero at the hightest point of the circular motion
the inequality says T greater than ot equal to zero .
why equal to zero for a inextensible string
please answer it quickly

They state that T is greater or equal to Zero is because Tension could be Zero at that small instant or within a small change of time interval for circular motion

Which books to use for studying further maths? please tell me

 

[sauravandari]

if anyone has ebooks of further maths P1 with you or if you possess any sort of notes regarding topics of differentiation and integration, summation and series, induction,vector space and matrices, please mail it to me. I don't have a teacher neither a good book with me. I am in serious trouble, so please assist me!!!

thanks a lot,
but do you have something even better that more supports GCE A-level CIE syllabus and will guide me effectively while solving past papers???
Friend, I do want some notes for vector space and matrices..
