1. Two particles, P and Q, with masses m and 2m respectively, are moving in the same
direction along the same straight line when they collide directly. Immediately before they
collide, P is moving with speed 4u and Q is moving with speed u. Immediately after they
collide, both particles are moving in the same direction and the speed of Q is four times
the speed of P.

(3)

(b) Find the magnitude of the impulse exerted by Q on P in the collision.

Figure 2

A non-uniform beam AB has length 8 m and mass M kg.

The centre of mass of the beam is d metres from A.

The beam is supported in equilibrium in a horizontal position by two vertical light ropes.
One rope is attached to the beam at C, where AC = 2.5 m and the other rope is attached to
the beam at D, where DB = 2 m, as shown in Figure 2.

A gymnast, of mass 64 kg, stands on the beam at the point X, where AX = 1.875 m, and
the beam remains in equilibrium in a horizontal position but is now on the point of tilting
about C.

The gymnast then dismounts from the beam.

A second gymnast, of mass 48 kg, now stands on the beam at the point Y, where YB = 0.5 m,
and the beam remains in equilibrium in a horizontal position but is now on the point of
tilting about D.

The beam is modelled as a non-uniform rod and the gymnasts are modelled as particles.

Find the value of M.

Figure 3

A railway engine of mass 1500 kg is attached to a railway truck of mass 500 kg by a

straight rigid coupling. The engine pushes the truck up a straight track, which is inclined
7
to the horizontal at an angle α, where sin α = . The coupling is parallel to the track and
25
parallel to the direction of motion, as shown in Figure 3.

The engine produces a constant driving force of magnitude D newtons. The engine and
the truck experience constant resistances to motion, from non-gravitational forces, of
magnitude 1200 N and 500 N respectively.

The thrust in the coupling is 2000 N.

The coupling is modelled as a light rod.

(a) Find the acceleration of the engine and the truck.

One end of a light inextensible string is attached to a particle A of mass 5m. The other
end of the string is attached to a particle B of mass 3m. The string passes over a small,
smooth, light fixed pulley. Particle A is held at rest with the string taut and the hanging
parts of the string vertical, as shown in Figure 4.

Particle A is released.

(a) Find, in terms of m and g, the magnitude of the force exerted on the pulley by the
