hey guys, i need help in mechanics m/j 10

question 6 the 2nd part, why the acceleration is -3 and different than the first part which was 6? why the tension wasn't included in the calculation of the second part?

http://www.xtremepapers.com/papers/CIE/Cambridge International A and AS Level/Mathematics (9709)/9709_s10_qp_41.pdf

For the second part, the string has slackened and hence there will be no more tension in it. Clearly, since A is part of the original connected system,
when T=0, its acceleration will also change accordingly.

Hope this helps. Peace.

You can calculate the area under the line CD between x=2 and x=3 (which is a trapezium) and subtract from it the area under the curve y=x^3-6x^2+9x between x=2 and x=3 (you can do this through basic integration) to get your answer.

Hope this helps. Peace.
Thann you very much ! I was confused :p

tan(pi- x) = -tanx so ans is -k.

tan(pi/2 - x) = reflection of tanx means the ans will be inverse. 1/k
it is better explained in book from pages 172-179 core maths by s.bostock and s.chandler see there for clear understanding. by means of graphs
Thanku very much

HOW TO SOLVE ? URGENT

Notice that the integral is basically of the form f"(x) * e^ f(x), which should simply reduce to e^f(x) +C. Note though certain adjustments must be made to the constants (ie f(x)=-3x^2, which yields f'(x)=-6x, where clearly within your problem the constant -6 is missing).

Hope this helps. Peace.
