A particle P moves in a plane such that
at time t seconds, its velocity, v=(2ti−t^3 )ms^(−1) .
(a) Find, when t=2, the magnitudeof the:
(i) velocity of P.
(ii) acceleration of P.
(b) Given that P is at the point with position
vector (3i+2j) when t=1, find the position
vector of P when t=2.
The ends X and Y of an inextensible strings 27m
long are fixed at two points on the same
horizontal line which are 20 m apart.
A particle of mass 7.5 kg is suspended
from a point P on the string 12 m from X.
(a) Illustrate this information in a diagram.
(b) calculate, correct to two decimal
places, <YXP and <XYP.
(c) Find, correct to the nearest hundredth,
the magnitudes of the tensions in the
string. [take g=10 ms^(−2) ]
