exam was very short, I found myself looking for more questions because I thought it'd be A LOT longer than 90mins. The exam was... different, almost no telecom, limited things regarding materials. No social/historical/environment contributions? I wasn't prepared for discussing boats and gutters but oh well, hope it went well, I think ill get somewhere between 70-80% for it

hey guys post up any answers for math questions you remember

 

[Popcornn]

i think ill get ~70 ferries was wtf but werent hard q's and test was pretty short if you knew your stuff

 

[arslan123]

i remember once force in member of bridge was 0, not sure if any1 else got that answer

 

[screwuhsc]

0? Wt u srs fk gg

 

[screwuhsc]

Can't believe I fked up the drawing

 

[screwuhsc]

And ferries qn like Wtf are they thinking

 

[Popcornn]

fuck i knew there was a redundant member left it blank... also couldnt do 10 marks of maths and mixed up turbofan/turboprop well fucking done haha :l

fk gg

That's exactly what I said after the exam!

It was good. Pretty straight forward this year. Expecting 90 raw

what q's do you think made you lose 10?

What did everyone get for the force required to stop the boat from slipping? something like 0.4 kN?

 

[orcevalm]

yea i remember getting a redundant member for DF or something cant remember. Hopefully it's right

yes. BC was 15kN in compression i think not sure, and DF was 0

 

[aDimitri]

What did everyone get for the force required to stop the boat from slipping? something like 0.4 kN?

should have been just over 0.7

 

[mirachael]

what q's do you think made you lose 10?

Just silly mistakes, not reading the question properly and fudging some questions (the ferry)

should have been just over 0.7

Should be 0.78kN (used g=10)

What did everyone get for MC? I got:
1)C
2)C
3)B
4)C
5)A
6)D
7)A
8)B
9)A
10)A
11)C
12)A
13)C
14)D
15)C
16)B
17)D
18)B
19)C
20)B

fken ferries. messed up the triangulation and didn't have time to fix it so i left it; maybe get 2/4 for that.

what was the info for the boat friction question again? u = 0.3, 20 degree incline, mass = ?
