Please note: Late assessments WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED for grading. All resubmissions must be authorised by
the lead internal verifier. Only ONE resubmission is possible per assignment, providing:
The trainee has met initial deadlines set in the assignment, or has met the agreed deadline extension.
The trainer considers that the trainee will be able to provide improved evidence without further guidance.
Evidence submitted for assessment has been authenticated and accompanied by a signed and dated
declaration of authenticity by the trainee and assessor.
Any resubmission evidence MUST be submitted within 10 working days of receipt of results of assessment.
Trainee declaration
I certify that the work submitted for this assignment is my own. I have clearly referenced any sources used in the
work. I understand that false declaration is a form of malpractice.

Assignment brief
Q1
An engineer has been given a drawing (see Figure 1.15) of a triangular plate with
minimal dimensional detail. Calculate the lengths of the sides A, B and C.

Q2
A man standing 64m away from a tower notices that the distances from the top and
bottom of the flagstaff on top of the tower to him are 110m and 82m respectively.
Find the height of the flagstaff.

Q3
A ruined tower is fenced off for safety reasons. To find the height of the tower
Rashid stands at a point A and measures the angle of elevation as 18 o. He then
∘
walks 20 metres directly towards the base of the tower to point B where the angle of
elevation is 31 . Calculate :
i. the length TB.
ii. the height, h, of the tower.

Q4
The displacement s of an accelerating body with respect to time t is described by the
equation:
s = t2 − 7t + 12
Using factorisation, solve this equation to determine the values of t when s = 2.
Q5
Use the formula for solving quadratic equations to determine the radius r of an
enclosed cylinder which has a total surface area (TSA) of 12.25 m2 and a height h
of 1.2 m, where
TSA = 2πrh + 2πr2

Q9
The image shows a plumb bob made from an unknown material.
(a) Calculate the total surface area of the plumb bob.
(b) The cost of manufacturing a plumb bob can be calculated using the formula:
Manufacturing Cost = 10t2 + 4mt + 2t
Where t is the time taken (in seconds) for machining the plumb bob and m is the
cost of the material.
Simplify the expression in its simplest form by extracting common factors.
(d) If the overall cost of manufacturing one plumb bob is 12 and the cost of the
material is 2, calculate the amount of time taken to manufacture one plumb bob.
