| Topic | Circular Motion 1 |
| Type | Particle in hemispherical bowl |
| Difficulty | Standard +0.3 This is a standard circular motion problem in Further Maths requiring resolution of forces (normal reaction and weight) and application of F=mrω². The geometry is straightforward (3-4-5 triangle), and the method is a well-practiced technique. Slightly above average difficulty due to being FM2 content, but follows a standard template with no novel insight required. |
| Spec | 6.05b Circular motion: v=r*omega and a=v^2/r6.05c Horizontal circles: conical pendulum, banked tracks |
