(b) An aeroplane is flying towards the east in still air at 92 m / s. A wind
starts to blow at 24 m / s towards the north.
Draw a vector diagram to find the resultant velocity of the aeroplane. Use a
scale of
1.0 cm = 10 m / s.
resultant speed = ......................................................
angle between resultant and easterly direction =

2 Fig. 2.1 is a head-on view of an airliner flying at constant speed in a circular
horizontal path. The centre of the circle is to the left of the diagram.

(b) The weight of the airliner is 1.20 × 106 N and there is an aerodynamic lift force
of
1.39× 106 N acting at 30° to the left of the vertical.
By drawing a scale vector diagram, or otherwise, show that the resultant of
these two forces is in the same direction as the resultant force you drew in (a).
(c) The speed is constant as the airliner flies in this circular path.
State and explain what is happening to the velocity.

(b) Fig. 3.1 shows a device used for compressing crushed material.
The lever arm rotates about the hinge H at its right-hand end. A force of 20
N acts downwards on the left-hand end of the lever arm. The force F of the
crushed material on the plunger acts upwards. Ignore the weight of the
lever arm.
(i) Use the clockwise and anticlockwise moments about H to calculate the
upward force F which the crushed material exerts on the plunger. The
distances are shown on Fig. 3.1.
force F =.......................................................[3]
(ii) The cross-sectional area A of the plunger in contact with the crushed
material is 0.0036 m2. Calculate the pressure exerted on the crushed
material by the plunger.
pressure =..................................................[2]

(b) Fig. 4.1 shows a uniform iron bar B of weight 30 N and length 1.40 m. The bar is
being used to lift one edge of a concrete slab S. A stone, placed 0.20 m from one
end of B, acts as a pivot. A force of 40 N pushing down at the other end of B is
just enough to lift the slab and hold it as shown.
Fig. 4.1
(i) On Fig. 4.1, draw an arrow to show the weight of bar B acting from its centre of
mass. [1]
(ii) State the distance d of the centre of mass of bar B from the pivot.
d =....................................................[1]
(iii) Calculate the total clockwise moment, about the pivot, of the forces acting on
bar B.
total clockwise moment =...............................................[3]
(iv) Calculate the downward force which the slab S exerts on the end of bar B.
force =...................................................[2]
(v) Suggest a change to the arrangement in Fig. 3.1 that would reduce the force
required to lift the slab.
