A uniform rod of length 28a is cut into seven identical rods each of length 4a. These rods are joined together to form the rigid framework ABCDEA shown in Figure 1.

All seven rods lie in the same plane.

The distance of the centre of mass of the framework from ED is d.

The weight of the framework is W.

The framework is freely pivoted about a horizontal axis through C.

The framework is held in equilibrium in a vertical plane, with AC vertical and A below C, by a horizontal force that is applied to the framework at A.

The force acts in the same vertical plane as the framework and has magnitude F.

Find F in terms of W.

Figure 2 shows a hemispherical bowl of internal radius 10d that is fixed with its circular rim horizontal.

A uniform lamina OAB is in the shape of the region R. Region R lies in the first quadrant and is bounded by the curve with equation 1, the x‑axis, and the y‑axis, as shown shaded in Figure 3.

The point A is the point of intersection of the curve and the x‑axis. The point B is the point of intersection of the curve and the y ‑axis.

One unit on each axis represents 1 m.

The shaded region, shown in Figure 4, is bounded by the x‑axis, the line with equation x = 6, the line with equation y = 2 and the y ‑axis.

This region is rotated through 360 about the x‑axis to form a solid of revolution. This solid is used to model a non‑uniform cylinder of height 6 cm and radius 2 cm.

The mass per unit volume of the cylinder at the point (x, y, z) is λ(x + 2) kg cm^–3, where 0 x 6 and λ is a constant.

Show that the mass of the cylinder is 120λπkg.

Show that the centre of mass of the cylinder is 3.6 cm from O.

The point O is the centre of one end of the cylinder. The point A is the centre of the other end of the cylinder.

A uniform solid hemisphere of radius 3 cm has density λkg cm^–3. The hemisphere is attached to the cylinder with the centre of its circular face in contact with the point A on the cylinder to form the model shown in Figure 5.

The model is placed with the end containing O on a rough inclined plane which is inclined at angle α to the horizontal. The plane is sufficiently rough to prevent the model from sliding. The model is on the point of toppling.

Find the value of α.

A smooth solid hemisphere has radius r and the centre of its plane face is O. The hemisphere is fixed with its plane face in contact with horizontal ground, as shown in Figure 6. A small stone is at the point A, the highest point on the surface of the hemisphere. The stone is projected horizontally from A with speed U. The stone is still in contact with the hemisphere at the point B, where OB makes an angle θ with the upward vertical. The speed of the stone at the instant it reaches B is v.

The stone is modelled as a particle P and air resistance is modelled as being negligible.

Use the model to find v² in terms of U, r, g and θ

When P leaves the surface of the hemisphere, the speed of P is W.

After leaving the surface of the hemisphere, P moves freely under gravity until it hits the ground.

Find the speed of P as it hits the ground, giving your answer in terms of r and g.

At the instant when P hits the ground it is travelling at α to the horizontal.

Find the value of α.
