number
1 (a) B – 16 g; 1
A cannot be correct as g on Earth is not 100
C cannot be correct as g on Earth is not 1
D cannot be correct as g on Earth is not 0.1
(b) (i) substitution into given formula; ignore units here 2
correct evaluation; accept 0.00592 Nm (i.e.
unit on answer line
changed)
condone 1sf answer
correct answer: 0.59(2) (N cm) accept 0.00592 Nm (i.e.
unit on answer line
changed)
-1 POT error otherwise
e.g.
moment = 0.16 × 3.7
moment = 0.592 (N cm)
(ii) 0.59(2) (N cm); ECF candidate’s answer 1
from (i)
(iii) substitution; ECF candidate’s answer 2
from (ii) for substitution
only
re-arrangement and evaluation; ignore reverse
argument
e.g. accept 0.16 x 3.7 for
0.592 = F × 7.4 0.59(2)
F = 0.592 ÷ 7.4 = 0.08(0)
0.592/7.4 = 0.080
or 0.59 /7.4 = 0.0797…
or 0.6 /7.4 = 0.08108…
