8.2 Modelling Assumptions

Modelling assumptions can simplify a problem and allow you to analyse a real-life situation using known mathematical techniques. You need to understand the significance of different modelling assumptions and how they affect the calculations in a particular problem. In this lesson you learn about Modelling in Mechanics Modelling Assumptions , modelling assumptions, pulley assumption, smooth and rough surfaces, assumptions for a lamina.

If you're a student in a school/college that's based in England, you might be entitled for full access to our eLearning platform where you can access to all our tutorial videos and practice questions.

Please check with the head of Maths or deputy headteacher at your school/college to request access if they've already registered to our free pilot subscription. They can always reach us at the below email:

Note: Due to our safeguard and chilled protection policy; we wouldn't be able to respond to students enquiries directly.

Understand and be able to apply some of the common assumptions used in mechanical models.
