Mechanics exam tips

Exam tips

• Resultant forces and dynamics exam tip 1

  Write the method before the answer so the examiner can follow each step. Apply this to r5 Understand and use addition of forces, resultant forces and dynamics for motion in a plane..

  This keeps the answer actionable and aligned to Resultant forces and dynamics, rather than giving generic revision advice.

• Friction exam tip 1

  Write the method before the answer so the examiner can follow each step. Apply this to r6 Understand and use the F <= mu R model for friction, coefficient of friction, motion of a body on a rough surface, limiting friction and statics..

  This keeps the answer actionable and aligned to Friction, rather than giving generic revision advice.

• Moments exam tip 1

  Write the method before the answer so the examiner can follow each step. Apply this to s1 Understand and use moments in simple static contexts..

  This keeps the answer actionable and aligned to Moments, rather than giving generic revision advice.
