INSTRUCTION TO STUDENTS

 Do not open this test paper until instructed to do so.

 Unless otherwise stated in the question, all numerical answers must be given exactly or correct
to 3 significant figures.
 The diagrams in this paper are not necessarily drawn to scale.
 The full mark is 50.

ADVICE TO STUDENTS

 Full marks are not necessarily awarded for a correct answer with no working. Answers must be
supported by working and/or explanations.
 Where an answer is incorrect, some marks may be given for a correct method, provided this is
shown by written working. All students should therefore be advised to show their working.
 A maximum of 2 marks will be deducted throughout the whole paper for poor presentation of
answers and for missing units.
