In the diagram above, two circles intersect and P is one of the points of intersection.
A straight line is drawn through P cutting the two circles at X and Y . An isosceles
triangle XY Z is constructed with XZ = Y Z. Suppose that XZ cuts the smaller
circle at A and Y Z cuts the larger circle at B. Suppose also that the line AB cuts
the circles at C and D. Let 6 XY Z be θ.
Prove that 4CP D is isosceles.
Note: You do not have to copy the diagram above. It has been reproduced for you
on a tear-off sheet at the end of this paper. Insert this sheet into your answer booklet.

(c) A forensic scientist is called upon to determine the time of death of a corpse found in
a room which is maintained at a constant temperature of 20◦ C. The temperature T
of the corpse was initially measured at midnight to be 29◦ C. The scientist measured
the temperature of the corpse one hour later and it had fallen to 26◦ C. Assume that
the temperature of the body at the time of death was 36·8◦ C and that the rate of
temperature decrease obeys Newton’s law of cooling. Let t be the number of hours
after midnight.

(b) A film director must decide whether a stuntman is able to perform a dangerous stunt.
The stuntman must leap from a building onto the centre of some erected scaffolding.
The centre of the scaffolding is 5 m below his initial position and at a horizontal
distance of 14 m. The stuntman jumps at an angle of 30◦ above the horizontal. Let
the stuntman’s initial velocity be V , and let x and y be his horizontal and vertical
displacements respectively from his initial position. You may assume that the velocity
and displacement equations are:
ẋ = V cos 30◦ ẏ = −10t + V sin 30◦
x = V t cos 30◦ y = −5t2 + V t sin 30◦

(ii) Hence determine the required initial velocity V so that he lands in the centre of 2
the scaffolding. Write your answer to the nearest m/s.
(iii) Safety requirements are such that if the impact velocity is greater than 15 m/s, 2
then padding must be placed on the scaffolding. Assuming that the stuntman
leaps at the required speed, determine whether or not padding is needed.
