This causes inconvenience for users who are unable to see if their food is fully cooked. A portable lamp placed on the table beside the barbeque pit would help address this issue. Fig. 1.1 (a) Write a suitable design brief for the situation identified above. ……………………………………………………………………………………………... ........ ……………………………………………………………………………………………... ........ [2] (b) Describe how the designer can conduct research through observation to better understand this identified need. ……………………………………………………………………………………………... ........ ……………………………………………………………………………………………... ........ ……………………………………………………………………………………………... ........ [3] (c) Sustainability is a crucial consideration for designers when creating a product. Explain briefly why this is important. ……………………………………………………………………………………………... ........ ……………………………………………………………………………………………... ........ [2] (d) Write a suitable design specification related to "Materials" for designing the portable lamp for the identified situation. ……………………………………………………………………………………………... ........ ……………………………………………………………………………………………... ........ [2] Nearest Light Table Barbeque Pit
4E5N/D&T/7059/PRELIM/2024 [Turn over 3 (e) Sketch a design of the portable lamp to be used on the barbeque-pit table. A faded outline of the barbeque pit table is included for proportion. Your design must include: Light from the portable lamp that can illuminate the entire area of the barbeque pit. A portability feature for the lamp. An interesting and aesthetically pleasing shape for the lamp. You may use additional sketches to communicate your design and include annotations if necessary. [6]
4E5N/D&T/7059/PRELIM/2024 [Turn over 4 (f) Fig 1.2 below shows a pair of tongs being used to handle food while barbequing. The user's hand can become very hot from the fire's heat over time, potentially leading to burns. Additionally, the slippery surface of the metal tongs makes holding and handling them difficult and uncomfortable. Fig. 1.2 Sketch an idea to show how the tongs can be improved to protect the user’s hand from burns caused by the heat of the barbeque pit. You may use the faded diagram of the tongs below to assist with your sketch. You may include additional sketches to communicate your design and add annotations if necessary. [4] Tongs
4E5N/D&T/7059/PRELIM/2024 [Turn over 5 (g) Explain how anthropometric data is used in designing your idea in question 1f). Include clear sketches to support your explanation.

Fig. 2.2 (i) Identify the type of force acting on the shelf. …………………………………………………………………………………………….. [1] (ii) Identify the type of beam that is experiencing the same type of force as the shelf shown in Figure 2.2. …………………………………………………………………………………………….. [1] (iii) Draw the schematic diagram of the shelf experiencing the force, in the space below. You are to indicate the direction of the force clearly. [3] (iv) Laminating is a method used to reinforce the shelf, making it more rigid to resist the force(s) as shown in Fig 2.2. Explain what “laminating” (in structural terms) is. …………………………………………………………………………………………….. …………………………………………………………………………………………….. [2] Shelf Member A
4E5N/D&T/7059/PRELIM/2024 [Turn over 8 (v) Member A in Fig. 2.2 is subjected to the same type of force experienced by the shelf. Since it is a solid round rod, it is not effective in resisting the force. Draw a suitable structural member to replace Member A in the space below, clearly showing its cross-sectional view. [2] (vi) Fig. 2.3 shows one side of the shelf attached to the wardrobe walls using adhesive. Name and sketch a reinforcement that will better support the shelf to hold heavier loads.
