It can be shown that the angle, @ as a function of time, ¢ satisfy the nonlinear differential equation: 20g. Fat Esa =0 Equation (1) where g is the gravitational acceleration (9.81 m/s?) It can be assumed that the angle, @ of the problem is small enough such that the approximation of sin 9 = 9 is valid, and then the Equation (1) will become linear. Given L = 1 m, what will be the distance, d at 0.4 s if @ = 0.1 rad and angular velocity, « is 1 rad/s al time, ¢ = 0 s? Use Heun method with step size, h of 0.1 s (Hint: Use w = 92), Figure 1 [20 marks] Page 4 of 7COEB223 Semester 1 2014/2015 Ques 20 marks An engineer would like to investigate the temperature of a stecl rod which is anchored at a wall, as depicted in Figure 2 below. In order to minimize the heat loss to the surroundings, an insulating material is wrapped around the rod, The length of the rod is 9 cm and the distance between the points, as depicted in Figure 2, is equal. The initial temperature of the rod, along points B, C and D at 1 =0.0 s was measured to be 10 °C and constant boundary temperatures of 90 °C and 25 °C. as shown in Figure 2 below, ‘The heat di ibution is modelled by Fourier’s Law of Heat Conduction, ar ar ax? ~ Oe Using the Crank-Nicolson method, solve for the temperature distribution along points B, C and D aller 0.2 s with a step size of 0.1 s, given that the thermal conductivity of the rod, k= 0,65cal / (s cm °C). Use the standard LU decomposition method to solve for the system of equations obtained from the Crank-Nicotson method, [20 marks} Page $ of 7COE B223 Semester 1 2014/2015 QUESTION 4 120 marks} Raphson Gauge International Corporation is testing the efficieney of its newly designed sea pressure gauge, ‘The gauge is used to measure the pressure resulted in the sea as the distanee from the surface increased. ‘The data of depth, d in km with respect to the sea pressure, P in bar is shown in the table below. 06 O85 380 450 Depth, a (km) ol 0.35 | Sea Pressure, P (bar) 50 210 | a) Generate a third-order polynomial using the Newton’s Interpolating Polynomial Method to describe the variable of the sea pressure, P (bar) with respect to depth, d (km), Write the polynomial in the form of P(d) = Ad? + Bd? + Cd + D, where A, B,C and D are constants.
