5. P and Q are towns of the same longitude such that the arc
of the earth’s circumference joining them is 500 miles long.
When the sun is directly overhead at Q its rays, assumed
parallel, strike P at an angle of 7|° to the vertical, PR. Use
this information to calculate the circumference of the earth. (6)
6. ABCD is a rectangle in a horizontal plane with AB = 16 units.
The diagonals of the rectangle intersect in O, and OX is a
vertical line 15 units long. Calculate the size of the angle
between the planes ABCD and XBC. (6)
7. A circle with centre O has a radius of 2 in. The radius OA
is produced its own length to B and a straight line XBY is
drawn in the same plane and perpendicular to OB. State
the locus of points which are 2 in from O and not more
than 3 in from the line XY. (5)

| Description | Examination papers for the School Leaving Certificate 1888-1961 and the Scottish Certificate of Education 1962-1963. Produced by the Scotch (later 'Scottish') Education Department, these exam papers show how education developed in Scotland over this period, with a growing choice of subjects. Comparing them with current exam papers, there are obvious differences in the content and standards of the questions, and also in the layout and use of language |
