A particle P of mass 0.3 kg is attached to a fixed point A by a light inextensible string of length 0.8 m.
The fixed point O is 0.15 m vertically below A. The particle P moves with constant speed v m s−1 in a horizontal circle with centre O (see diagram).

The diagram shows the cross-section through the centre of mass of a uniform solid object. The object is a cylinder of radius 0.2 m and length 0.7 m, from which a hemisphere of radius 0.2 m has been removed at one end. The point A is the centre of the plane face at the other end of the object. Find the distance of the centre of mass of the object from A. [5]

Checked your answers against these? Let AI mark the whole paper, on your own working.
Examiners follow the generic marking principles at the front of the scheme, then each question's points: method (M), accuracy (A) and independent (B) marks, error carried forward where the scheme allows it, and positive marking, so you're credited for what you got right.
