What examiners said
Few were able to explain that forces K and M needed to be equal and opposite because there would be no resultant force and consequently the surfboard would move at constant speed.
— Examiner report, May/June 2022, 0973/31 Q9(a)(i) (Cambridge)
(i)(ii) When the correct forces diagram was selected, constant speed was usually identified. Complete answers went on to explain that the motion is caused by a resultant force of zero.
