2 1 A light elastic string has natural length 0.6 m and modulus of elasticity λ N. The ends of the string are attached to fixed points A and B, which are at the same horizontal level and 0.63 m apart. A particle P of mass 0.064 kg is attached to the mid-point of the string and hangs in equilibrium at a point 0.08 m below AB (see diagram). Find (i) the tension in the string, [3] (ii) the value of λ. [2] 2 A uniform solid cone has height 38 cm. (i) Write down the distance of the centre of mass of the cone from its base. [1] The cone is placed with its axis vertical on a rough horizontal plane. The plane is slowly tilted, and the cone remains in equilibrium until the angle of inclination of the plane reaches 31◦(see diagram), when the cone topples. (ii) Find the radius of the cone. [2] (iii) Show that µ ≥0.601, correct to 3 significant figures, where µ is the coefficient of friction between the cone and the plane. [2] © UCLES 2006 9709/05/M/J/06

3 3 A particle P of mass m kg is attached to one end of a light inextensible string of length L m. The other end of the string is attached to a fixed point O. The particle P moves with constant speed in a horizontal circle, with the string taut and inclined at 35◦to the vertical. OP rotates with angular speed 2.2 rad s−1 about the vertical axis through O (see diagram). Find (i) the value of L, [4] (ii) the speed of P in m s−1. [2] 4 An object of mass 0.4 kg is projected vertically upwards from the ground, with an initial speed of 16 m s−1. A resisting force of magnitude 0.1v newtons acts on the object during its ascent, where v m s−1 is the speed of the object at time t s after it starts to move. (i) Show that dv dt = −0.25(v + 40). [2] (ii) Find the value of t at the instant that the object reaches its maximum height. [5] 5 A uniform lamina of weight 15 N has dimensions as shown in the diagram. (i) Show that the distance of the centre of mass of the lamina from AB is 0.22 m. [4] The lamina is freely hinged at B to a fixed point. One end of a light inextensible string is attached to the lamina at C. The string passes over a fixed smooth pulley and a particle of mass 1.1 kg is attached to the other end of the string. The lamina is in equilibrium with BC horizontal. The string is taut and makes an angle of θ◦with the horizontal at C, and the particle hangs freely below the pulley (see diagram). (ii) Find the value of θ. [3] © UCLES 2006 9709/05/M/J/06 [Turn over

4 6 A light elastic string has natural length 2 m and modulus of elasticity 0.8 N. One end of the string is attached to a fixed point O of a rough plane which is inclined at an angle α to the horizontal, where sin α = 12 13. A particle P of mass 0.052 kg is attached to the other end of the string. The coefficient of friction between the particle and the plane is 0.4. P is released from rest at O. (i) When P has moved d metres down the plane from O, where d > 2, find expressions in terms of d for (a) the loss in gravitational potential energy of P, [2] (b) the gain in elastic potential energy of the string, [2] (c) the work done by the frictional force acting on P. [2] (ii) Show that d2 −6d + 4 = 0 when P is at its lowest point, and hence find the value of d in this case. [3] 7 A stone is projected from a point O on horizontal ground with speed V m s−1 at an angle θ above the horizontal, where sin θ = 3 5. The stone is at its highest point when it has travelled a horizontal distance of 19.2 m. (i) Find the value of V. [3] After passing through its highest point the stone strikes a vertical wall at a point 4 m above the ground. (ii) Find the horizontal distance between O and the wall. [4] At the instant when the stone hits the wall the horizontal component of the stone’s velocity is halved in magnitude and reversed in direction. The vertical component of the stone’s velocity does not change as a result of the stone hitting the wall. (iii) Find the distance from the wall of the point where the stone reaches the ground.

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS GCE Advanced/Advanced Subsidiary Level MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2006 question paper 9709 MATHEMATICS 9709/05 Paper 5 Maximum raw mark 50 This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were initially instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began. Any substantial changes to the mark scheme that arose from these discussions will be recorded in the published Report on the Examination. All Examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in candidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills demonstrated. Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the Report on the Examination. The minimum marks in these components needed for various grades were previously published with these mark schemes, but are now instead included in the Report on the Examination for this session. • CIE will not enter into discussion or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes. CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2006 question papers for most IGCSE and GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses.

Mark Scheme Notes Marks are of the following three types: M Method mark, awarded for a valid method applied to the problem. Method marks are not lost for numerical errors, algebraic slips or errors in units. However, it is not usually sufficient for a candidate just to indicate an intention of using some method or just to quote a formula; the formula or idea must be applied to the specific problem in hand, e.g. by substituting the relevant quantities into the formula. Correct application of a formula without the formula being quoted obviously earns the M mark and in some cases an M mark can be implied from a correct answer. A Accuracy mark, awarded for a correct answer or intermediate step correctly obtained. Accuracy marks cannot be given unless the associated method mark is earned (or implied). B Mark for a correct result or statement independent of method marks. • When a part of a question has two or more "method" steps, the M marks are generally independent unless the scheme specifically says otherwise; and similarly when there are several B marks allocated. The notation DM or DB (or dep*) is used to indicate that a particular M or B mark is dependent on an earlier M or B (asterisked) mark in the scheme. When two or more steps are run together by the candidate, the earlier marks are implied and full credit is given. • The symbol √ implies that the A or B mark indicated is allowed for work correctly following on from previously incorrect results. Otherwise, A or B marks are given for correct work only. A and B marks are not given for fortuitously "correct" answers or results obtained from incorrect working. • Note: B2 or A2 means that the candidate can earn 2 or 0. B2/1/0 means that the candidate can earn anything from 0 to 2. The marks indicated in the scheme may not be subdivided. If there is genuine doubt whether a candidate has earned a mark, allow the candidate the benefit of the doubt. Unless otherwise indicated, marks once gained cannot subsequently be lost, e.g. wrong working following a correct form of answer is ignored. • Wrong or missing units in an answer should not lead to the loss of a mark unless the scheme specifically indicates otherwise. • For a numerical answer, allow the A or B mark if a value is obtained which is correct to 3 s.f., or which would be correct to 3 s.f. if rounded (1 d.p. in the case of an angle). As stated above, an A or B mark is not given if a correct numerical answer arises fortuitously from incorrect working. For Mechanics questions, allow A or B marks for correct answers which arise from taking g equal to 9.8 or 9.81 instead of 10.

The following abbreviations may be used in a mark scheme or used on the scripts: AEF Any Equivalent Form (of answer is equally acceptable) AG Answer Given on the question paper (so extra checking is needed to ensure that the detailed working leading to the result is valid) BOD Benefit of Doubt (allowed when the validity of a solution may not be absolutely clear) CAO Correct Answer Only (emphasising that no "follow through" from a previous error is allowed) CWO Correct Working Only - often written by a ‘fortuitous' answer ISW Ignore Subsequent Working MR Misread PA Premature Approximation (resulting in basically correct work that is insufficiently accurate) SOS See Other Solution (the candidate makes a better attempt at the same question) SR Special Ruling (detailing the mark to be given for a specific wrong solution, or a case where some standard marking practice is to be varied in the light of a particular circumstance) Penalties MR -1 A penalty of MR -1 is deducted from A or B marks when the data of a question or part question are genuinely misread and the object and difficulty of the question remain unaltered. In this case all A and B marks then become "follow through √" marks. MR is not applied when the candidate misreads his own figures - this is regarded as an error in accuracy. An MR-2 penalty may be applied in particular cases if agreed at the coordination meeting. PA -1 This is deducted from A or B marks in the case of premature approximation. The PA -1 penalty is usually discussed at the meeting.
