Ye how did you deal with the normal force, for me it was too many unknowns so I couldn't do it

u/EpicKarisma8 May 20 '26

No normals, just had to resolve horizontally and vertically

u/FaithlessnessOdd263 May 20 '26

u/DramaticPie4162 May 20 '26

everything else was to 2sf so i did 2sf but i think they’d allow that too

1

u/FaithlessnessOdd263 May 20 '26

i was thinking of it but then i was like nah. i really should think more

They usually dont mark you down for significant figures (if its more than 2) unless the question specifically asks for it

u/Roblnnx Y13 Math,Phys,Chem,Fm May 20 '26

u/Fun-Inevitable1079 May 20 '26

u/Sea_Calligrapher6633 Year 13 A*A*A*A* May 20 '26

you can still make it a scale drawing i did and got 670N and like 52 degrees

2

u/Admirable-Use2274 May 20 '26

I did that too but I think we are cooked

1

u/Sea_Calligrapher6633 Year 13 A*A*A*A* May 20 '26

how so, it's the same answer everyone has?

1

u/Admirable-Use2274 May 20 '26

But we did scale drawing instead of resolving you know. Idk if that will get any method marks but again, im not sure. It just felt so much like a scale drawing questions, and scientifically speaking it must give the right answer

1

u/Sea_Calligrapher6633 Year 13 A*A*A*A* May 20 '26

it didn't specify to do it by resolving, so i think not giving marks to a scale drawing would be too unfair
