Kind of terrifying in reading time, especially some the truss and glider questions, but in the end it worked out pretty well! The glider question with the mass was kind of off putting if you had the slightest clue about how much a glider actually weighs, so what we all (my class) got for the answer was well above what a glider should be

Yeah, I felt that way as well during reading time. But after dedicating most of my time to the glider and truss questions, I felt pretty good. Some things I'd forgotten and I doubt I'll get full marks, but I did the best I could with that paper.

It was super weird it should not have been 6 marks you could literally do it without finding the reactions and taking moments around the top side. What did you get for A?. And yeah glider weight was around 560kg

something along those lines. I used a graphical method cause that's my failsafe when I don't know how to do a question analytically lol
