Figure 1

A diving board AB consists of a wooden plank of length 4m and mass 30kg. The plank
is held at rest in a horizontal position by two supports at the points A and C, where
AC = 0.6 m, as shown in Figure 1. The force on the plank at A acts vertically downwards
and the force on the plank at C acts vertically upwards.

A diver of mass 50 kg is standing on the board at the end B. The diver is modelled as a
particle and the plank is modelled as a uniform rod. The plank is in equilibrium.

(a) Find

(i) the magnitude of the force acting on the plank at A,

(b) Find, in kg, the greatest integer mass of a diver who can stand on the board at B
without breaking the support at A.

Figure 3

A particle P of mass 4 kg is attached to one end of a light inextensible string. A particle

Q of mass m kg is attached to the other end of the string. The string passes over a
small smooth pulley which is fixed at a point on the intersection of two fixed inclined
planes. The string lies in a vertical plane that contains a line of greatest slope of each of
the two inclined planes. The first plane is inclined to the horizontal at an angle α, where

string taut, as shown in Figure 3.

The first plane is rough and the coefficient of friction between P and the plane is . The
second plane is smooth. The system is in limiting equilibrium. 4

Given that P is on the point of slipping down the first plane,

(a) find the value of m,
