National Exams — 17-Phys-A1, Classical Mechanics — May 2018. Three-hour closed-book exam, one permitted calculator (Casio/Sharp approved models). FIVE of the six questions constitute a complete paper (the first five as they appear in the answer book are marked, each of equal value); all SIX are solved here for completeness as a study resource.

Reference texts: Goldstein, Classical Mechanics (3rd ed.) — Lagrangian mechanics and constraints (Questions 1, 2); Hibbeler, Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics (14th ed.) — kinematics/kinetics of rigid bodies, impulse and momentum, dependent motion (Questions 1, 3, 4, 5, 6).
