Aiming for Grade 6 LOs:

• Resolve a single force into two perpendicular components.
• Determine if an object is in equilibrium by considering the horizontal and vertical forces.
• Investigate the effect of increasing the weight of an object on a slope on the component of the weight acting along the slope.

Aiming for Grade 8 LOs:

• Resolve a pair of forces into the overall perpendicular components.
• Determine if an object is in equilibrium by considering the horizontal and vertical components of forces.
• Plan a detailed investigation into the effect of increasing the gradient of a slope on the component of the weight acting along the slope.
