life_is_music

How ye all set for it?? Lets hope we get an easy perspective!! A cube would do nicely:pac:

Question about skew boreholes:

Is the direction of the strike parallel to your x1 y1 or perpendicular to it?/

My teacher said its perpendicular to it (along the direction of the auxiliarly for dip & thickness) but the solutions seem to be giving it paralles to X1 Y1???

Decerto

perpindicular, anyone know if there gonna continue using the 2006,2007 b parts or they gonna go back to the old ones?

Seen as this is the last year of this sized course they'll probably keep to last years style

On Hyperparobolic roof surfaces part c usually, when your asked to draw the plane director of the elemants contain lines (eg. AD and BC) thats gud , but what do you do when it is (positioned so that it contains point A?

2007 Q6 was the ref.

i hear the bisecting a line question can be difficult on the pass paper!

Aright lads (and lassies but maybe doubtful), I do paper 2(a). To be honest its very repetitive. Two questions you get an object and cut it in half, and draw it in first angle. One whole question is developing a "transition piece" - its exactly the same as developing something a tiny bit harder that an bottle or something. We have one and a half questions on mechanisms - one half very similar to Q5 paper one, and the other 2 half's you could learn in 10 minutes.

Is paper 2(b) as predictable/basic?
