Mercury orbits around the Sun in 88 days, Venus does the same in 225 days and Earth takes 360 days. The last time an eclipse occurred (when the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Earth are set in a straight line) was in the year 1992. By writing 88, 225 and 360 into the product of their prime factors, find the year in which the next eclipse would occur on Earth.

speed (m/s)

a cyclist over a period of T seconds. The cyclist sees a stretch of wet road ahead and slows down uniformly from 6m/s to 3m/s in 20 seconds. He then progresses at constant speed for 30 seconds, passing the stretch of wet road, before gaining speed uniformly to 6m/s at T seconds.
(i) Given that the cyclists speed is 3.6m/s at t = 60s, find the value of T. (ii) Find the average speed of the particle for the first 50 seconds. (iii) On the axes in the answer space, sketch the corresponding distance-time graph
