The diagram shows a cord going around a pulley and a pin. The pulley is modelled as a circle with centre $$\(O\)$$ and radius $$\(5 \mathrm{~cm}\)$$. The thickness of the cord and the size of the pin $$\(P\)$$ can be neglected. The pin is situated $$\(13 \mathrm{~cm}\)$$ vertically below $$\(O\)$$. Points $$\(A\)$$ and $$\(B\)$$ are on the circumference of the circle such that $$\(A P\)$$ and $$\(B P\)$$ are tangents to the circle. The cord passes over the major arc $$\(A B\)$$ of the circle and under the pin such that the cord is taut. Calculate the length of the cord. ............................................................................................................................................................

Exam No:9709_s20_qp_13 Year:2020 Question No:5

Answer:

\(\cos P O A=\frac{5}{13} \rightarrow P O A=1.17(6) \quad\) Allow \(67.4^{\circ}\)
or \(\sin =\frac{12}{13}\) or \(\tan =\frac{12}{5}\)
Reflex \(A O B=2 \pi-2 \times\) their \(1.17(6)\) OE in degrees or minor arc \(\mathrm{AB}=5 \times 2 \times\) their \(1.17(6)\)
Major arc \(=5 \times\) their 3.93(1) or \(2 \pi \times 5\) - their \(11.7(6)\)
\(A P(\) or \(B P)=\sqrt{13^{2}-5^{2}}=12\)
Cord length \(=43.7\)
