Water (density $\rho _{H_{2}O}=1000\,$kg/m$^3$) flows up the slanted pipe, which is at an angle of $\theta=30^\circ\,$to the horizontal, as shown below.   ![image](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/14f08e95-bcb9-4711-aa11-dd1ec7b8840b/c9b0295f-63ae-4c21-9316-3eeb08a887c0.png) The bottom of the loop is filled with mercury (density $\rho_{Hg}=13,600\,$kg/m$^3$), which acts as a manometer, and you may assume is not flowing. The loop has width $L=5\,$cm, and in this question you should assume that $g=10\,$m/s$^2$. (Based on P2.35 in White) 
What would be the pressure drop $p_1 - p_2\,$if the fluid were stationary? \nIf the height difference $H=0.1\,$cm, what is the pressure difference $p_1-p_2\,$ in the pipe? You may use the fact that from geometry we have $H+h_r-h_L=L\tan(\theta)$. \nWhat is the difference between the values in parts 5b and 5a? Why is this extra pressure needed? \nIf the fluid were not flowing, what would the height difference $H\,$ be?

The pressure difference would be given by $p_1-p_2=\rho gz$. Find $z$ (length of the opposite part of the triangle) by creating a triangle using $L$ and the angle $\theta$ given in the question. Substitute this and all values given back in to get a final numerical answer. \nWe cannot simply calculate the hydrostatic pressure difference between the two points. This is because the water is flowing, meaning that the pressure is not hydrostatic. Let us define the pressure at the water--mercury interface in the left-hand arm as $p_L$, and the height of the column of water above that point as $h_L$, and let us define the column of water in the right-hand arm as $h_R$. From the geometry, we have $H+h_R-h_L=L\tan\theta.$ From hydrostatic balance (i.e. using the general pressure equation $p=p_0 -\rho gz$ and finding $p_0$ and substituting in) find $p_1$ and $p_2$. *** We get $p_1=p_L-\rho_{H_2O}gh_L$ and $p_2=p_L-\rho_{Hg}gH-\rho_{H_2O}gh_R.$ Now take $p_2$ away form $p_1$ to find the pressure difference.  *** We get $p_1-p_2=\rho_{Hg}gH+\rho_{H_2O}gh_R-\rho_{H_2O}gh_L$. Simplify to get an expression which factors out $h_R$ and $h_L$. Use the equation form the geometry to replace $h_R - h_L$ *** Substitute in values from the question to get your final numeric answer \n\nTo understand this, suppose that the depths of mercury are $d_L$ and $d_R$ in the left-hand and right-hand columns of the manometer, respectively. Consider travelling from the bottom of the U-bend through the left-hand tube and along the slanted pipe to the point where $p_2$ is measured. We go through a depth $d_L$ of mercury and $h_{TOT}-d_L$ of water, where $h_{TOT}$ is the total height. *** Compare that with travelling up the right-hand tube to the same point, in which case we go through a depth $d_R$ and $h_{\sf TOT}-d_R$ of mercury and water, respectively. *** The total pressure change on the left path equals $\rho_{Hg}gd_L+\rho_{H_2O}g(h_{TOT}-d_L)$, whilst the pressure change on the right path equals $\rho_{Hg}gd_R+\rho_{H_2O}g(h_{TOT}-d_R)$. These two pressure changes must be equal, and the only way this can happen is if $d_L=d_R$. Hence $H=0$.
The pressure difference between the two points would be given by the hydrostatic formula: $p_1-p_2=\rho gL\tan\theta=1,000\times10\times0.05\tan30^\circ=290$Pa. \nWe cannot simply calculate the hydrostatic pressure difference between the two points. This is because the water is flowing, meaning that the pressure is not hydrostatic. Let us define the pressure at the water--mercury interface in the left-hand arm as $p_L$, and the height of the column of water above that point as $h_L$, and let us define the column of water in the right-hand arm as $h_R$. From the geometry, we have $H+h_R-h_L=L\tan\theta.$ Using hydrostatic balance in the left column, we have $p_1=p_L-\rho_{H_2O}gh_L.$ The hydrostatic balance in the right-hand column gives $p_2=p_L-\rho_{Hg}gH-\rho_{H_2O}gh_R.$ Hence $p_1-p_2=\rho_{Hg}gH+\rho_{H_2O}gh_R-\rho_{H_2O}gh_L$ $=\rho_{Hg}gH+\rho_{H_2O}g(h_R-h_L)$ $=\rho_{Hg}gH+\rho_{H_2O}g(L\tan\theta-H)$ $=13,600\times10\times0.001+1000\times10\times(0.05\tan30^\circ-0.001)$ $=136+279=410$ Pa (2 s.f.). \n\nIn this case the pressure is hydrostatic, which means that $H=0$.

We go through a depth $d_L$ of mercury and $h_{TOT}-d_L$ of water, where $h_{TOT}$ is the total height. Compare that with travelling up the right-hand tube to the same point, in which case we go through a depth \$d\_R\$ and $h_{\sf TOT}-d_R$ of mercury and water, respectively. The total pressure change on the left path equals $\rho_{Hg}gd_L+\rho_{H_2O}g(h_{TOT}-d_L)$, whilst the pressure change on the right path equals $\rho_{Hg}gd_R+\rho_{H_2O}g(h_{TOT}-d_R)$. These two pressure changes must be equal, and the only way this can happen is if $d_L=d_R$. Hence $H=0$.

Refer to **section 2.8** for Gaussian elimination rules. In question 1 (a), we found that this system of equations intersects at a point. Therefore, we will attempt to re-arrange the augmented matrix into the form: $$ \left( \begin{array}{ccc|r} 1 & 0 & 0 & \ a\\ 0 & 1 & 0 & b\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & c \end{array} \right) $$ Setting up the augmented matrix: *** $$ \left( \begin{array}{ccc|r} 1 & 1 & 1 & \ 6\\ 2 & 1 & -1 & 3\\ 1 & 1 & 0 & 4 \end{array} \right) $$ *** * R2-2R1 * R3-R1 *** $$ \rightarrow\left( \begin{array}{ccc|r} 1 & 1 & 1 & \ 6\\ 0 & -1 & -3 & -9\\ 0 & 0 & -1 & -2 \end{array} \right) $$ *** * \-R2, -R3 *** $$ \rightarrow \left(\begin{array}{ccc|r} 1 & 1 & 1 & \ 6\\ 0 & 1 & 3 & 9\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 2 \end{array} \right) $$ *** * R1-R3 * R2-3R3 *** $$ \rightarrow \left(\begin{array}{ccc|r} 1 & 1 & 0 & \ 4\\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 3\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 2 \end{array} \right) $$ *** * R1-R2 *** $$ \rightarrow \left(\begin{array}{ccc|r} 1 & 0 & 0 & \ 1\\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 3\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 2 \end{array} \right) $$ *** Hence the point of intersection is $x=1,y=3,z=2\rightarrow(1,3,2)$ \nRefer to **section 2.8** for Gaussian elimination rules.

An experimental vehicle is fitted with a gyroscope to counteract completely the tendency of the vehicle to tip when rounding a bend. ![](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/825d05f2-ce11-42fb-87db-6bf6c1c0ea7c/d24cb209-3dec-4658-80f9-c9c5afcc2706.png) The gyroscope rotor is mounted on a horizontal shaft fixed across the vehicle frame, parallel with the rear axle and has a mass moment of inertia $I = 3000~\mathrm{kgm^2}$ about its spin axis. The vehicle has a total mass $m = 1200~\mathrm{kg}$ and its centre of mass is at a height $h = 0.8~\mathrm{m}$ above the road surface. The mass of the wheels may be ignored. The situation is modelled as follows: In the diagram, the coordinate system is at the centre of the car's circular motion. The car's velocity is in the direction labelled 2, direction 1 is perpendicular to the car's velocity and directed away from the car's position, whilst 3 is the upward normal to the road surface.
Find the angular velocity $\Omega$ that the gyroscope rotor should spin at if the car is travelling with velocity $v = 15~\mathrm{m/s}$. \nIn which direction should the gyroscope spin? \nObserve the two diagrams below: ### **Diagram A** ![](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/825d05f2-ce11-42fb-87db-6bf6c1c0ea7c/a8d11a3e-8147-48a4-9704-67ca3a80e2df.jpeg) ### **Diagram B** ![](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/825d05f2-ce11-42fb-87db-6bf6c1c0ea7c/70276ffe-9dfb-4adb-82dd-1163afcccd4d.jpeg) Which diagram shows the correct change in angular momentum caused by the gyroscope?

Draw the car rounding a bend and introduce a suitable system for your vector conventions. The question may seem complicated but the solution is fairly straight forward. *** Relate the car speed $v$ and the radius of the bend to its angular momentum around the centre of the bend. *** You’ll then need to think of an expression describing the moment imposed on the car through the wheels due to the centripetal force taking into account $h$, the height of the centre of mass of the car off the ground – this is the moment you need to counteract with the gyro! *** Combining these two expressions and Equation 5.1 from your notes will give you an expression of the required angular velocity of the gyro, taking the angular velocity of precession as the angular velocity of the whole car around the bend. \nThe direction of spin required can be deducted using your vector diagram of the change in angular momentum once again, making use of the right hand rule one last time. \nSee worked solutions in part a

An experimental vehicle is fitted with a gyroscope to counteract completely the tendency of the vehicle to tip when rounding a bend. ![](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/825d05f2-ce11-42fb-87db-6bf6c1c0ea7c/d24cb209-3dec-4658-80f9-c9c5afcc2706.png) The gyroscope rotor is mounted on a horizontal shaft fixed across the vehicle frame, parallel with the rear axle and has a mass moment of inertia $I = 3000~\mathrm{kgm^2}$ about its spin axis. The vehicle has a total mass $m = 1200~\mathrm{kg}$ and its centre of mass is at a height $h = 0.8~\mathrm{m}$ above the road surface. The mass of the wheels may be ignored.

In ordinary derivatives a function $y(x)$ implicitly defines $x=x(y)$ and their derivatives obey: $$ \frac{dx}{dy} = \frac{1}{\left(\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right)} $$ (check e.g. for $y=x^2$). In higher dimensions a similar relation holds, but it is important to keep track of which variable is being kept constant. The correct relation is $$ \left( \frac{\partial y}{\partial x}\right)_{z} = \frac{1}{ \left(\dfrac{\partial x}{\partial y}\right)_{z}} $$ but e.g. $$ \left( \frac{\partial y}{\partial x}\right)_{z} \neq \frac{1}{ \left(\dfrac{\partial x}{\partial y}\right)_{r}} $$ The reciprocal rule only holds if the same variable is being kept constant on both sides of the equation.
 Confirm the above for $z=x^2-y^2$, $r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$ by calculating $\left(\frac{\partial y}{\partial x}\right)_{z}$, $\left(\frac{\partial x}{\partial y}\right)_{z}$, $\left(\frac{\partial y}{\partial x}\right)_{r}$, $\left(\frac{\partial x}{\partial y}\right)_{r}$.  \nFor $z=x^2-y^2$ confirm the cyclic rule for partial derivatives $$ \left( \frac{\partial y}{\partial x}\right)_{z}\left( \frac{\partial x}{\partial z}\right)_{y}\left( \frac{\partial z}{\partial y}\right)_{x} = -1 $$

Start by finding the partial derivatives holding $z$ constant... *** Re-arrange $z=z(x,y)$ into the form $y=y(x,z)$. Then, find $\partial y/\partial x$ holding $z$ constant. Repeat for $x=x(y,z)$. Does the reciprocal rule hold? *** Repeat the above process but instead holding $r$ constant. Again, does the reciprocal rule hold? *** Does the reciprocal rule hold for partial derivatives where different variables are held constant? \nYou have already found $(\partial y/\partial x)_z$ in part (a). Express this in terms of $x$ and $y$. *** Re-arrange for $x=x(y,z)$ and find $(\partial x/\partial z)_y$. Can you express this in terms of $x$ and $y$? Repeat for $z=z(x,y)$.  *** Multiply the results together. Do they equal $-1$?
Starting with the two partial derivatives where we hold $z$ constant: *** $$ y(x,z) = (x^2-z)^{1/2} $$ *** Using the chain rule and holding $z$ constant: $$ \left(\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial x}\right)_z = \frac{x}{(x^2-z)^{1/2}} = \frac{x}{y} $$ *** $$ x(y,z)=(y^2+z)^{1/2} $$ *** $$ \therefore\left(\dfrac{\partial x}{\partial y}\right)_z = \frac{y}{(y^2+z)^{1/2}} = \frac{y}{x} $$ This verifies that: $$ \left( \frac{\partial y}{\partial x}\right)_{z} = \frac{1}{ \left(\dfrac{\partial x}{\partial y}\right)_{z}} $$ Now, for $r$: *** $$ y(x,r) = (r^2-x^2)^{1/2} $$ *** Using the chain rule and holding $r$ constant: $$ \left(\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial x}\right)_r = -\frac{x}{(r^2-x^2)^{1/2}}=-\frac{x}{y} $$ *** $$ x(y,r)=(r^2-y^2)^{1/2} $$ *** $$ \therefore\left(\frac{\partial x}{\partial y}\right)_r = -\frac{y}{(r^2-y^2)^{1/2}} = -\frac{y}{x} $$ This verifies that: $$ \left( \frac{\partial y}{\partial x}\right)_{z} = \frac{1}{ \left(\dfrac{\partial x}{\partial y}\right)_{z}} $$ This also verifies that: $$ \left( \frac{\partial y}{\partial x}\right)_{z} \neq \frac{1}{ \left(\dfrac{\partial x}{\partial y}\right)_{r}} $$ \nFrom part (a),  $$ \left(\dfrac{\partial y}{\partial x}\right)_z = \frac{2x}{(x^2-z)^{1/2}} = \frac{x}{y} $$ Now, to find the other partial derivatives: re-arranging for $x=x(y,z)$, *** $$ x=(y^2+z)^{1/2} $$ Partially differentiating with respect to $z$ and holding $y$ constant: *** $$ \left(\frac{\partial x}{\partial z}\right)_y = \frac{1}{2(y^2+z)^{1/2}} = \frac{1}{2x} $$ *** Finally, partially differentiating $z=z(x,y)$ with respect to $y$ and holding $x$ constant: *** $$ \left(\frac{\partial z}{\partial y}\right)_x = -2y $$ Multiplying each partial derivative together: *** $$ \left( \frac{\partial y}{\partial x}\right)_{z}\left( \frac{\partial x}{\partial z}\right)_{y}\left( \frac{\partial z}{\partial y}\right)_{x} = \frac{x}{y}\frac{1}{2x}(-2y)= -1 $$
In ordinary derivatives a function $y(x)$ implicitly defines $x=x(y)$ and their derivatives obey: $$ \frac{dx}{dy} = \frac{1}{\left(\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right)} $$ (check e.g. for $y=x^2$).

The acid dissociation constant, $K_{a}$ , is a measure of the strength of an acid ($\mathrm{HA}$), and is defined as the equilibrium constant for the reaction: $$ \text{HA} \rightleftharpoons \text{H}^{+}+\text{A}^{-} $$ It has a value of: $$ K_{a}=\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]} $$ To create a buffer solution, we can mix together solutions of a weak acid and its conjugate base (usually supplied using a salt of the weak acid). To calculate the ratio of acid to base needed for a buffer of a particular $pH$, we use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, which you are now going to derive.
Rearrange the first equation to give an expression for $[H^+]$ in terms of $K_a$, $[A^-]$  and $[HA]$ \nTake the base-10 logarithm of this equation, and simplify it, so the right hand side contains one term in $K_{a}$ and a second in $[HA]$  and $[A^-]$ .

The most readily available resistor values are the ‘E12 series’: $1, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2.2, 2.7, 3.3, 3.9, 4.7, 5.6, 6.8, 8.2$ and $10~\Omega$ and factors of $10$ larger or smaller (e.g. $180~ \Omega$, $18 ~\mathrm{k}\Omega$, etc.).
Design a non-inverting amplifier with a gain of $263$, using fixed E12 resistors. A deviation of $\pm 1\%$ of the nominal gain is acceptable. Remember that resistors can be connected in parallel.

A non-inverting op-amp stage appears as follows:    ![](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/af3842f4-cead-464c-9992-db2766630f4b/5aa23fde-4b01-4ae1-a67a-e8741acb94b6.png) *** For a non-inverting op-amp, the gain can be calculated as follows:    $A_\mathrm{v} = \frac{R_1+R_2}{R_2}$ *** This question requires a bit of trial and error. However, this can be done methodically: *** Choose one resistor value and plug it into the above equation, along with the gain to calculate $R_2$. *** If $R_2$ is not equal to any of the E12 resistor values, check if there is a series or parallel combination of resistors that would lead to this value. *** Note that if there is a resistor combination that gives a gain within $1%$ of the nominal value, it is still acceptable.
The most readily available resistor values are the ‘E12 series’: $1, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2.2, 2.7, 3.3, 3.9, 4.7, 5.6, 6.8, 8.2$ and $10~\Omega$ and factors of $10$ larger or smaller (e.g. $180~ \Omega$, $18 ~\mathrm{k}\Omega$, etc.). Design a non-inverting amplifier with a gain of $263$, using fixed E12 resistors. A deviation of $\pm 1\%$ of the nominal gain is acceptable. Remember that resistors can be connected in parallel.

From the definition of relative humidity:    $\phi = \frac{P_\mathrm{v}}{P_\mathrm{sat}(T)}$ *** The saturation pressure, $P_\mathrm{sat}$, at $20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$, can be found from Data and Formula book (Table E19):    $P_\mathrm{sat}(20^{\circ}) = 0.02339$ bar *** Substituting this value back into the equation for relative humidity:    $P_\mathrm{v} = 0.85\times 0.2339 = 0.01988$ bar *** The total pressure is the sum of the partial pressures of air and vapour. Therefore:    $P_\mathrm{a} = P_\mathrm{tot} - P_\mathrm{v}$ *** Substituting in numbers:    $P_\mathrm{a} = 0.98-0.01988 = 0.9601$ bar $ = 96.01~\mathrm{kPa} $ \nUsing the equation for specific humidity:    $\omega = 0.622\frac{P_\mathrm{v}}{P_\mathrm{a}}$ *** Since both of the partial pressures have been calculated in part (a), they can be substituted in to the above equation:    $\omega = 0.622\times\frac{0.01988}{0.9601} = 0.0129$

A wide freshwater stream has a smooth granular bed with a bed slope of $S = 0.002$, a uniform flow depth of $h =2.0\ \mathrm{m}$ and a median grain size of $d_{50} =2\ \mathrm{mm}$.

The bed sear stress is computed as: $\tau_0 = \rho g h S = 39.240\ \mathrm{N/m^2}$. \nThe shear velocity $u_*$ is obtained from $$ u_* = \sqrt{\dfrac{\tau_0}{\rho}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{39.2}{1000}} = 0.198\ \mathrm{m/s}. $$ The shear Reynolds number is $$ \mathrm{Re}_* = \dfrac{u_* d_{50}}{\nu} = \dfrac{0.198\cdot 2 \times 10^{-3}}{10^{-6}} = 396.18. $$ Using the Shields diagram we can obtain a value for $\theta_{cr}$ for $\mathrm{Re}_* = 396.18$. It is important to remember that the diagram is in semilogarithmic axes. The critical Shields parameter in this case is: $\theta_{cr} \approx 0.058$. Therefore the critical bed shear stress is $$ \tau_{cr} = \theta_{cr}\cdot \rho \cdot g (s-1) \cdot d_{50} = 1.88\ \mathrm{N/m^2}, $$ where $s=\rho_s/\rho_w = 2.65$ is the relative sediment density. \nTo determine whether there will be initiation of motion, the bed shear stress is compared to the critical bed shear stress. Since $\tau_0>\tau_{cr}$, the channel bed is not stable.

* One approach is to equate vertical and horizontal forces, then solve each equation separately, but actually there is no need to do this; there is a shorter way. *** * A shorter approach is to draw a triangle, and use trigonometric to solve directly for $F$.

In Lecture 4 we derived the velocity addition formula for a particle moving with speed $u$ along the $x$ axis, in a frame moving at velocity $v$ in the $x$ direction. If the particle velocity is not just directed along the $x$ axis, then the velocity transformation formula needs to be written as $u_x^\prime = \frac{u_x - v}{1- vu_x/c^2}.$     Use the same method as in the lecture to work out the transformation rule for one of the perpendicular velocity components, e.g. $u_y$.

How can you write $u'_y$ in terms of $y'$ and $t'$? ***     What do you know about the relative direction of $y'$ and $v$? How des this knowledge let us easily relate $y$ and $y'$? ***     As $y'$ is perpendicular to $v$, there will be no length contraction in this direction so $y=y'$. Thus, the only coordinate where we need to consider the Lorentz transformation is the time coordinate. The formula for this is given in question 2.1. ***     You can use the Lorentz formula to write $t'$ in terms of $x$ and $t$. Remeber that $u'_y = y'/t'$ and $u_x = x/t$. 
We know that $y=u_y t$ and $y^\prime = u_y^\prime t^\prime$. We also know $y^\prime = y$ as the frame only moves in the $x$ direction.  *** The Lorentz transformation for $t$ only involves the $x$ coordinate for which $x=u_xt$, so this gives ***     $$ ct^\prime = \gamma (ct - \beta x) = \gamma \left(ct- \frac{v}{c} u_x t\right) = \gamma ct \left(1 - \frac{v u_x}{c^2}\right) $$ *** Hence, the $y$ velocity in the moving frame is $$ u_y^\prime=\frac{y^\prime}{t^\prime} =\frac{u_y t}{t^\prime} = \frac{u_y t}{\gamma t(1 - v u_x/c^2)} =\frac{u_y}{\gamma(1-vu_x/c^2)} $$ A similar expression holds for $u_z^\prime$.
In Lecture 4 we derived the velocity addition formula for a particle moving with speed $u$ along the $x$ axis, in a frame moving at velocity $v$ in the $x$ direction. If the particle velocity is not just directed along the $x$ axis, then the velocity transformation formula needs to be written as $u_x^\prime = \frac{u_x - v}{1- vu_x/c^2}.$     Use the same method as in the lecture to work out the transformation rule for one of the perpendicular velocity components, e.g. $u_y$.

Set up and solve the characteristic equations $p(\lambda)=\det{(\text{R} - \lambda\mathbb{I}_3)}$ for each rotation matrix (see **section 3.19**).  *** After finding the eigenvalue, in each case solve $(\text{R}- \lambda \mathbb{I}_3)\mathbf{\underline{x}}=0$ for the eigenvector $\mathbf{\underline{x}}=(x,y,z)$... *** ... You may find solutions with no dependency on $x,y$ or $z$. This means that your choice of $x,y$ or $z$ is arbitrary (thus choose $x,y$ or $z$ that give a normalised vector). \nSee matrix multiplication, **section 3.3**. \nTake $\text{R}_1\text{R}_2$ and $\text{R}_2\text{R}_1$ from part (b), and calculate their normalised eigenvectors as in part (a). This tells you the rotation axes because rotation axes are invariant under rotations.  *** Are the eigenvectors you found equivalent? This will verify if $\text{R}_1\text{R}_2$ and $\text{R}_2\text{R}_1$ commute.
Solving the characteristic equation for $\text{R}_1$ (see section **3.19**).  *** $$ \det(\text{R}_1-\lambda\mathbb{I}_3)= \left|\begin{array}{crr} 1-\lambda&0&\hskip3pt 0\\ 0&-\lambda&\hskip3pt -1\\ 0&1&\hskip3pt -\lambda \end{array}\right|=\lambda^2(1-\lambda)+(1-\lambda)=(1-\lambda)(\lambda^2+1)=0, $$ which yields one real eigenvalue $\lambda_1=1$. The corresponding eigenvector $\mathbf{\underline{x}}=(x,y,z)$ is found from solving  $(\text{R}_1 - \lambda \mathbb{I}_3)\mathbf{\underline{x}}=0$: *** $$ \begin{aligned} \left(\begin{array}{crr} 0&\hskip3pt 0&\hskip3pt 0\\ 0&\hskip3pt -1&\hskip3pt -1\\ 0&\hskip3pt 1&\hskip3pt -1 \end{array}\right) \left( \begin{array}{c} x\\ y\\ z \end{array} \right)= \left( \begin{array}{r} 0\hskip12pt\\ -y-z\\ y-z \end{array} \right)=\left( \begin{array}{c} 0\\ 0\\ 0 \end{array} \right), \end{aligned} $$ *** which shows $y=z=0$. However, our choice of $x$ is arbitrary here (it is unaffected by the matrix operation), so we may take as our normalised eigenvector $ \mathbf{\hat{u}}_1=\left(\begin{array}{c}1\\0\\0\end{array}\right) $, which is the $x$-axis (as we expect for a rotation about the $x$-axis). *** Similarly, for $\text{R}_2$, the eigenvalues are determined from: *** $$ \det({\mathbf{\text{R}}}_2-\lambda\mathbb{I})=\left|\begin{array}{rcr}-\lambda&\hskip8pt \hskip3pt 0&\hskip3pt 1\\0&\hskip8pt 1-\lambda&\hskip3pt 0\\-1&\hskip8pt 0&\hskip3pt -\lambda\end{array}\right|=\lambda^2(1-\lambda)+(1-\lambda)=(1-\lambda)(\lambda^2+1)=0\, $$ which yields the real eigenvalue $\lambda_2=1$. The corresponding eigenvector is, *** $$ \begin{align*} \left(\begin{array}{crr} 0&\hskip3pt 0&\hskip3pt 0\\ 0&\hskip3pt -1&\hskip3pt -1\\ 0&\hskip3pt 1&\hskip3pt -1 \end{array}\right) \left( \begin{array}{c} x\\ y\\ z \end{array} \right)= \left( \begin{array}{r} 0\hskip12pt\\ -y-z\\ y-z \end{array} \right)=\left( \begin{array}{c} 0\\ 0\\ 0 \end{array} \right), \end{align*} $$ which shows that $x=z=0$, but $y$ is arbitrary, so we may take as our normalised eigenvector $ \mathbf{\hat{u}}_2=\left(\begin{array}{c} 0\\ 1\\ 0\end{array}\right), $ which is the $y$-axis (as we expect for a rotation about the $y$-axis). \n$$ {\mathbf{\text{R}}}_1{\mathbf{\text{R}}}_2 =\left(\begin{array}{ccr}1&\hskip12pt 0&\hskip3pt 0\\0&\hskip12pt 0&\hskip3pt -1\\0&\hskip12pt 1&\hskip3pt 0\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{rcc}0&\hskip12pt 0&\hskip12pt 1\\0&\hskip12pt 1&\hskip12pt 0\\-1&\hskip12pt 0&\hskip12pt 0\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{ccc}0&\hskip12pt 0&\hskip12pt 1\\1&\hskip12pt 0&\hskip12pt 0\\0&\hskip12pt 1&\hskip12pt 0\end{array}\right), $$ *** $$ {\mathbf{\text{R}}}_2{\mathbf{\text{R}}}_1 =\left(\begin{array}{rcc}0&\hskip12pt 0&\hskip12pt 1\\0&\hskip12pt 1&\hskip12pt 0\\-1&\hskip12pt 0&\hskip12pt 0\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{ccr}1&\hskip12pt 0&\hskip3pt 0\\0&\hskip12pt 0&\hskip3pt -1\\0&\hskip12pt 1&\hskip3pt 0\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{rcr}0&\hskip12pt 1&\hskip3pt 0\\0&\hskip12pt 0&\hskip3pt -1\\-1&\hskip12pt 0&\hskip3pt 0\end{array}\right), $$ which shows that ${\mathbf{\text{R}}}_1{\mathbf{\text{R}}}_2\ne{\mathbf{\text{R}}}_2{\mathbf{\textsf{R}}}_1$. \nThe eigenvalues of ${\mathbf{\text{R}}}_1{\mathbf{\text{R}}}_2$ are calculated as: *** $$ \begin{aligned} \det({\mathbf{\text{R}}}_1{\mathbf{\text{R}}}_2-\lambda\mathbb{I})=\left|\begin{array}{rrr} -\lambda&\hskip3pt 0&\hskip3pt 1\\ 1&\hskip3pt -\lambda&\hskip3pt 0\\ 0&\hskip3pt 1&\hskip3pt -\lambda \end{array}\right|=-\lambda^3+1=0\, , \end{aligned} $$ so the real eigenvalue is $\lambda=1$, with a corresponding eigenvector, *** $$ \begin{aligned} \left(\begin{array}{rrr} -1&\hskip3pt 0&\hskip3pt 1\\ 1&\hskip3pt -1&\hskip3pt 0\\ 0&\hskip3pt 1&\hskip3pt -1 \end{array}\right)\left( \begin{array}{c} x\\ y\\ z \end{array} \right)= \left( \begin{array}{r} -x+z\\ x-y \\ y-z \end{array} \right)=\left( \begin{array}{c} 0\\ 0\\ 0 \end{array} \right), \end{aligned} $$ *** We have that $x=y=z$. Thus, we may take as our eigenvector $ \mathbf{\hat{u}}_{12}=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\left(\begin{array}{c}1\\1\\1\end{array}\right). $ ![](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/a2434ecb-2a51-4074-a108-e46080228a26/b1d7dc1d-2e39-4ea9-9777-80a0a7af0970.png)   The invariant vector is actually in the $(+x)(+y)(-z)$ quadrant, though it might not look like that in the figure. Carrying out the same process for $\text{R}_2\text{R}_1$: *** $$ \det({\mathbf{\text{R}}}_2{\mathbf{\text{R}}}_1-\lambda\mathbb{I})=\left|\begin{array}{rrr}-\lambda&\hskip3pt 1&\hskip3pt 0\\0&\hskip3pt -\lambda&\hskip3pt -1\\-1&\hskip3pt 0&\hskip3pt -\lambda\end{array}\right|=-\lambda^3+1=0. $$ *** So the real eigenvalue is again: $\lambda=1$. The corresponding eigenvector is given by, $$ \begin{aligned} \left(\begin{array}{rrr} -1&\hskip3pt 1&\hskip3pt 0\\ 0&\hskip3pt -1&\hskip3pt -1\\ -1&\hskip3pt 0&\hskip3pt -1 \end{array}\right)\left( \begin{array}{c} x\\ y\\ z \end{array} \right)= \left( \begin{array}{r} -x+y\\ -y-z\\ -x-z \end{array} \right)=\left( \begin{array}{c} 0\\ 0\\ 0 \end{array} \right)\, , \end{aligned} $$ which implies that $x=y=-z$. Thus, we may take $ \mathbf{\hat{u}}_{21}=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\left(\begin{array}{r}1\\1\\-1\end{array}\right) $, ![](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/a2434ecb-2a51-4074-a108-e46080228a26/ae94fb98-6e22-49f0-a7fb-83e97cbb8cfa.png) (it might look like it hasn’t moved but the cube has rotated around the eigenvector - hence the slightly different colouring) which again shows the multiplication of ${\mathbf{\text{R}}}_1$ and ${\mathbf{\text{R}}}_2$ does not commute; the different products result in quite different operations.

A woman of mass 60 kg stands at one end of a 10 m plank of mass 20 kg, which itself lies on a (frictionless) frozen lake. She walks to the other end of the plank. By using the principle of conservation of momentum, work out how far she has travelled relative to the lake. \[Those of you who already know about the centre of mass may see an easier way to do this problem, but it is good practice to try it using conservation of momentum only. See *Problem Sheet 4, Question 3* for the centre of mass approach.]

Call the mass of the woman $m_{\text{w}}$ and her velocity $v_{\text{w}}$. The mass and velocity of the plank are $m_{\text{p}}$ and $v_{\text{p}}$. *** What is the initial momentum of the system?  *** Use conservation of momentum to express this in terms of $m_{\text{w}}$, $v_{\text{w}}$, $m_{\text{p}}$, and $v_{\text{p}}$. This should give you an equation for $v_\text{w}$ as a function of the other variables... *** ... Can you express this equation in terms of displacements, $x_\text{w}$ and $x_{\text{p}}$, rather than velocities? ... *** ... You can do this by integration or state the relationship logically. *** You now know how far the plank moves in one direction if the woman moves in the other direction. Use this to find the distance the woman travels relative to the lake if she walks the entire $10\text{m}$ length of the plank.
Call the mass of the woman $m_{\text{w}}$ and her velocity $v_{\text{w}}$. The mass and velocity of the plank are $m_{\text{p}}$ and $v_{\text{p}}$. Since no externally applied horizontal forces are acting on the system consisting of the woman and the plank, its total momentum, which starts off equal to zero, must remain equal to zero: *** $$ m_{\text{w}} v_{\text{w}} + m_{\text{p}} v_{\text{p}} = 0 \quad \text{at all times.} \implies v_{\text{p}} = - \frac{m_{\text{w}}}{m_{\text{p}}} v_{\text{w}} = - 3 v_{\text{w}}, $$ where $m_{\text{w}}/m_{\text{p}} = 60$kg$/20$kg $= 3$.  *** Since the velocities of the woman and plank are always proportional, so are their displacements: $$ x_{\text{p}} = - 3 x_{\text{w}} . $$ If you want a more mathematical derivation of the step from $v_{\text{p}} = - 3 v_{\text{w}}$ to $x_{\text{p}} = - 3 x_{\text{w}}$, you can do it using integration: $$ \begin{aligned} &v_{\text{p}}(t) = - 3 v_{\text{w}}(t) \\ \Rightarrow \qquad &\frac{dx_{\text{p}}(t)}{dt} = - 3 \frac{dx_{\text{w}}(t)}{dt} \\ \end{aligned} $$ $\ldots$ *** $$ \begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \qquad &\int_{t'=0}^{t} \frac{dx_{\text{p}}(t')}{dt'} dt' = - 3 \int_{t'=0}^{t} \frac{dx_{\text{w}}(t')}{dt'} dt' \\ \Rightarrow \qquad &\left [ x_{\text{p}}(t') \right ]_{0}^{t} = - 3 \left [ x_{\text{w}}(t') \right ]_{0}^{t} \\ \Rightarrow \qquad & x_{\text{p}}(t) = - 3 x_{\text{w}}(t). \end{aligned} $$ It is not necessary to assume that the woman walks at a constant speed. *** These displacements are measured relative to the frozen lake. For every 1 m the woman moves to the right, the plank moves 3 m to the left, and the woman progresses 4 m along the plank.  *** By the time she reaches the far end of the 10 m long plank, she has moved 2.5 m to the right and the plank has moved 7.5 m to the left. The woman has travelled 2.5 m relative to the lake.

The gravitational force uses the gravitational mass $m_G$, whereas N2 uses inertial mass $m_I$.&#x20; *** The gravitational force is equal to the N2 force. Hence solve for the 'inertial' acceleration $a$ of N2. *** This should tell you which ball accelerates faster, and therefore which ball hits the ground first.&#x20; \nUsing SUVAT equations entirely algebraically at first... *** ... What is the time taken for the lead ball to hit the ground? ... *** ... What distance does the copper ball travel in this time?&#x20; *** ... Hence, what is the height $\Delta s$ of the copper ball above the ground? *** Your expression should contain the relative acceleration of the two particles $a_{\text{Cu}}/{a_{\text{Pb}}}= [1 + (3 \times 10^{-11})]^{-1}$... *** Since $3\times 10^{-11}$ is exceedingly small, your calculator will not process it when added with $1$. Therefore, perform a binomial expansion to find $a_{\text{Cu}}/{a_{\text{Pb}}}$ analytically. *** Hence find $\Delta s$. \nIn your analysis from part (b), did $g$ affect the final answer?
The acceleration $a$ of a falling object with inertial mass $m_I$ and gravitational mass $m_G$ is given by *** $$ F = m_G g = m_I a \qquad \Rightarrow \qquad a = \frac{m_G g}{m_I}. $$ *** The value of $m_G/m_I$ is larger for lead, so $a_{\text{Pb}} > a_{\text{Cu}}$ and the lead ball hits the ground first. \nThe lead ball is dropped from the top of the tower of height $h = 60,$m at time $t=0,$s and falls with constant acceleration $a_{\text{Pb}}$ until it hits the ground at time: *** $$ t_{\text{Pb}} = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{a_{\text{Pb}}}} . $$ At this exact time, the Cu ball has dropped a distance: *** $$ s_{\text{Cu}} = \frac{1}{2} a_{\text{Cu}} t_{\text{Pb}}^2 = \frac{a_{\text{Cu}} h}{a_{\text{Pb}}}. $$ *** The distance it still has to go (which is the separation of the two balls when the first hits the ground) is: *** $$ \Delta s = h - s_{\text{Cu}} = \left ( 1 - \frac{a_{\text{Cu}}}{a_{\text{Pb}}} \right ) h. $$ *** We are told that $m_G / m_I = 1$ for Cu and $1 + 3 \times 10^{-11}$ for Pb, so $$ \frac{a_{\text{Cu}}}{a_{\text{Pb}}} = \frac{1}{1 + (3 \times 10^{-11})} = [1 + (3 \times 10^{-11})]^{-1} . $$ *** Using the binomial (or Taylor) expansion to express this number (the reason why you shouldn't just use a calculator/Python is explained at the end):&#x20; *** $$ \begin{aligned} (1 + x)^{-1} &= 1 + (-1)x + \frac{(-1)(-2)}{2!}x^2 + \frac{(-1)(-2)(-3)}{3!} x^3 + \ldots \\ &= 1 - x + x^2 - x^3 + \ldots , \end{aligned} $$ *** with $x = 3 \times 10^{-11}$ gives $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{a_{\text{Cu}}}{a_{\text{Pb}}} &= 1 - (3\times 10^{-11}) + (3 \times 10^{-11})^2 - (3 \times 10^{-11})^3 + \ldots \\ &\approx 1 - (3 \times 10^{-11}). \end{aligned} $$ The approximation in the last line is *very* good because $3 \times 10^{-11}$ is such a small number. Hence: *** $$ \Delta s \approx 3 \times 10^{-11} h = 1.8 \times 10^{-9}\, \text{m} = 1.8\,\text{nm}. $$ *** You might wonder why we used a power expansion? Why not just work out the value of $60 \left ( 1 - \frac{1}{1 + 3 \times 10^{-11}} \right )$ using a calculator or the Python interpreter? That method works fine in this example, but if the $3 \times 10^{-11}$ is replaced by $3 \times 10^{-20}$, Python says the result is exactly zero (try it and see). The problem is that $1/(1 + 3\times 10^{-20}) = 1 - 3\times 10^{-20} + \ldots$ is so close to 1 that computers and calculators, which only keep a finite number of significant figures (around 14 in the case of Python), cannot tell the difference. When working with numbers of very different magnitudes, it is safer to expand in powers of the small number *before* using a computer or calculator. \n The value of $g$ cancels out of the analysis above so the separation on the Moon would be the same as on Earth.

How can you use Conservation of Energy to get an expression for the velocity of the mass as a function of $\theta$ after it is released from rest at a starting angle of $\theta_0$? At what value of $\theta$ is the speed of the mass greatest? *** What force is responsible for lifting the larger mass? Can you write an expression for this force in terms of the angle $\theta$? It may help to resolve the forces on the smaller mass along the direction parallel to the stiff rod.&#x20; *** What condition must the tension satisfy in order for the larger mass to be lifted? Can you use this condition to create an inequality involving $\theta$, $m$ and $M$? If we want to find the smallest mass, $m$, capable of lifting $M$, from which angle must we release $m$? *** Does your inequality involve the length of the rod? Why does it matter that we use a stiff rod, rather than a string?
As it swings down to the bottom, the mass $m$ loses gravitational potential energy $mgl(1 - \cos\theta)$. By energy conservation, this must be equal to its kinetic energy $K$ at the bottom of the swing: $$ K = mgl(1 - \cos\theta). $$ Since $K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$, the speed $v_{\phi}$ of the mass at the bottom of the swing is $$ v_{\phi} = \sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}} = \sqrt{2gl(1 - \cos\theta)}. $$ *** The mass is not accelerating horizontally when it reaches the bottom of the swing (because there are no horizontal forces acting there) but it still has a centripetal acceleration, $$ a_{\text{centripetal}} = \frac{v_{\phi}^2}{l} = 2g(1 - \cos\theta), $$ vertically upwards. The forces acting on the mass are the tension $T$ upwards and the force of gravity $mg$ downwards. Applying Newton's Second Law vertically, $$ m a_{\text{centripetal}} = T - mg , $$ tells us the tension $$ T = mg + m a_{\text{centripetal}} = m(g + 2g(1 - \cos\theta)) = 3mg - 2mg\cos\theta. $$ If $\theta = 0$ (the pendulum is just hanging there, stationary and vertical), then $\cos\theta = 1$ and the formula for the tension becomes $T = mg$, which seems sensible. As $\theta$ increases from $0$ to $\pi$, $\cos\theta$ decreases and $T$ rises, which also seems right. *** For the smaller mass to lift the larger mass, $T$ must be greater than $Mg$, so $$ \begin{aligned} && 3mg - 2mg\cos\theta &> Mg &&\\ \Rightarrow && 2mg\cos\theta &< 3mg - Mg &&\\ \Rightarrow && \theta &> \cos^{-1}\left ( \frac{3m - M}{2m} \right ). && \end{aligned} $$ &#x20;&#x20; The maximum possible value of $T$ occurs when the release angle $\theta = \pi$, so that $\cos\theta = -1$. This gives $$ T_{\text{max}} = 5mg. $$ If allowed to swing the full 180$^\circ$, a pendulum of mass $m$ would just about be able to lift a mass $5m$. Equivalently, a pendulum with a bob of mass $m$ is capable of lifting a larger mass $M$ as long as $m > M/5$. *** The length of the rod does not matter. Although doubling the length doubles the KE (and thus the value of $v_{\phi}^2$) at the bottom of the swing, the maximum centripetal acceleration $v_{\phi}^2/l$ is unaffected. &#x20;&#x20; \[If the pendulum had a string instead of a stiff light rod, the string would not remain taut if the bob was released at any angle $\theta > \pi/2$, complicating the analysis. If released from angle $\pi/2$, the swinging mass $m$ would just about be able to lift a mass $M = 3m$.]

\n$\frac{\delta p}{\delta z}=-\rho g$. Solve this to find an expression for $p$. *** By integration we get $p=-\rho gz +p_0$. To find the value of the constant $p_0$ we can set $z=0$ at the top of the pipe, where the pressure is atmospheric pressure, $p_a$.&#x20; Substitute $p_o$ into the equation for $p$ that you found to get a general equation for pressure. *** You should find that $p_0=p_a$ and that $P=-\rho gz +p_a$. At point 2 the $z$ co-ordinate is $-h$ (note we are measuring the height h downwards from the top of the pipe so it is in a negative direction), Using this and the general equation for pressure, find an equation for $p_2$ *** You should find that $p_2=-\rho g(-h) +p_a$. Taking $p_a= 101$ kPa and $g=9.81$ m/s$^2$ find $p_2$. Use this and the relationship between $p_1$ and $p_2$ from the previous part to find the value for $p_1$. *** Convert the value of $p_1$ to a gauge pressure.
\n$\frac{\delta p}{\delta z}=-\rho g$ so integrating we get $P=-\rho gz +P_0$ To find the value of the constant $P_0$ we can set $z=0$ at the top of the pipe, where the pressure is atmospheric pressure, $p_a$. Then we substitute these values for pressure and $z$ into the general equation $P=-\rho gz +P_0=p_a=0+P_0$ and so $P_0$ must equal $p_a$. The general equation for pressure can then be written $P=-\rho gz +p_a$ At point 2 the $z$ co-ordinate is $-h$ (note we are measuring the height h downwards from the top of the pipe so it is in a negative direction).$p_2=-\rho g(-h) +p_a$. Taking $p_a= 101$ kPa and $g=9.81$ m/s$^2$ then $p_2=-1000*9.81*(-0.1)+101 000 = 101.981$ kPa = $p_1$ In this case it is probably more appropriate to give the answer as a gauge pressure (i.e. relative to atmospheric pressure) $p_1=981$ Pa

If you were painting a wall, how would you go about calculating the volume of paint that you would need to buy? *** What conclusion can you draw from this? Consider when a finite/infinite amount of paint would be required based on the required thickness of the paint. *** You can show that the volume would be finite using the formula for volumes of revolution about the $x$ axis. *** Now you can find an expression for the surface area of the funnel, and compare this to the integral of ${1\over x}$ with the same limits to show that the surface area would be infinite.
You can show that the volume would be finite using the formula for volumes of revolution about the $x$ axis. *** The volume, $$ \begin{aligned} V = \pi \int_1^\infty {1\over x^2}\mathrm{d}x = \pi \end{aligned} $$ is finite. *** Now you can find an expression for the surface area of the funnel, and compare this to the integral of ${1\over x}$ with the same limits to show that the surface area would be infinite. *** The (inside) surface area of the musical funnel is $$ \begin{aligned} S = 2\pi \int_1^\infty {1\over x}\left(1+{1\over x^4}\right)^{1\over2} \mathrm{d}x > 2\pi\int_1^\infty {1\over x}\mathrm{d} x \to \infty \end{aligned} $$ so the surface area is infinite. *** What conclusion can you draw from this? Consider when a finite/infinite amount of paint would be required based on the requiredd thickness of the paint. *** So if the paint is required to have a certain thickness $d>0$, then an infinite amount *would* be required (This cannot be achieved using the 'fill and pour' method), but of course, the funnel gets narrower than any such finite $d$!.&#x20; But if there are no limitations on thickness, then a finite amount of paint can be used to cover the funnel. \[This result is essentially about Torricelli's Funnel / Gabrielle's Horn]

An ecologist is using a clinometer to estimate the height (and therefore the biomass) of a tree. A clinometer is a tube attached to a protractor with a weighted string (see the diagram below), which can be used to measure angles between the ground and a distant point. The ecologist stands exactly $10 \, \mathrm{m}$ from the base of the tree on level ground and sights the top of the tree through the tube of the clinometer. The clinometer is held exactly $1 \, \mathrm{m}$ above the ground. The angle made by the weight and the tube of the clinometer is $42 ^\circ$.&#x20; ![image](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/4525472e-9327-4fd7-8255-3b388d813eba/bb4f76d5-1046-46d4-af8b-7ff7e0d1fa75.png)

Consider a counterflow heat exchanger in which the fluids on the hot and cold sides have inlet temperatures $T_\mathrm{hi}$ and $T_\mathrm{ci}$ respectively, while the temperature of the environment is $T_0$. The fluids can be taken to be the same gas on each side, assumed to behave as a perfect gas with constant-pressure specific heat $c_\mathrm{p}$. The mass flow rate $\dot{m}$ is the same on each side, so that the temperature difference $\Delta T$ between the hot and cold sides is constant throughout the heat exchanger. Heat loss from the heat exchanger casing and frictional pressure drops can be neglected. Show that the exergy destruction $\dot{B}_\mathrm{destroyed}$ or irreversibility $\dot{I}$ can be expressed in dimensionless form by:
$\frac{\dot{B}_\mathrm{destroyed}}{\dot{m}c_\mathrm{p}T_0} = \frac{\dot{I}}{\dot{m}c_\mathrm{p}T_0} = \mathrm{ln}(1+K_1\Delta T + K_2(\Delta T)^2)$ &#x20;&#x20; where &#x20;&#x20; $K_1 = \frac{T_\mathrm{hi}- T_\mathrm{ci}}{T_\mathrm{hi}T_\mathrm{ci}}$ &#x20;&#x20; and&#x20; &#x20;&#x20; $K_2 = -\frac{1}{T_\mathrm{hi}T_\mathrm{ci}}$

Let’s take angular momentum about a fixed point to make our lives easier and apply the conservation of momentum principle. What would be a suitable point?&#x20; *** The top tip of the step serves this purpose very well in this case for example.&#x20; Remember that the total angular momentum about a point is the sum of the angular momentum of the moving body around its own centre of gravity and the moment produced by its linear momentum about the chosen point –in this case it would be the angular momentum of the wheel around its centre and the moment of its linear momentum about the tip of the step (momentum times the perpendicular distance). *** After impact, the wheel spins about itself as well as the step (consider the tangential velocity here), so the angular momentum equation about the step tip will have two respective expressions. The conservation of momentum method will help you find an expression for the angular velocity after impact. You’ll find it easier to first write your expressions of angular momentum in terms of linear velocities, the mass of the wheel and the mass moment of inertia about its centre of gravity. *** After rearranging to find an expression for the angular velocity after impact, substitute in the variables given to you in the questions as the required answer is only in terms of the variables provided (i.e. the angular velocity before impact, the radius of the wheel $r$, the radius of gyration of the wheel $k$ about its centre and the height of the step $h$).

Two strain gauges are fitted at $\pm45^{\circ}$ to the axis of a $75\text{ mm}$ diameter steel shaft. The shaft is rotating, and in addition to transmitting power, it is subjected to an unknown bending moment and a direct thrust. The readings of the gauges are recorded, and it is found that the maxima or minima values for each gauge occur at $180^{\circ}$ intervals of shaft rotation and are $-0.00060$ and $+0.00030$ for the two gauges at one instant, and $-0.00050$ and $+0.00040$ for the same gauges $180^{\circ}$ of rotation later. Assume that all the forces and moments are steady, i.e. they do not vary during each rotation of the shaft.

Draw the $xy$ plane including: * The normal to the solar panel. * The direction of the sunlight vector, at angle $\theta$ to the -axis. *** Can you now deduce the unit vector $\hat{\mathbf{k}}$? ... *** ... The sunlight vector points *towards* the origin. \nThink how the power incident on the solar panel would change throughout the daytime (i.e. $0\le h \le 12$): * When would the power be 0?&#x20; * When would the power be a maximum? *** You can either deduce the answer logically, or take a more mathematical approach.&#x20; In both approaches, you will need to use the result from **section 1.11** that the flux ($P$ in this case) is the product of the *normal* intensity component and area.&#x20; *** For the mathematical approach, start by considering how to express $P$ in terms of a dot product... *** ... We are concerned with the projection of the sunlight vector onto the solar panel normal as a function of $\theta$... *** ... Then, you need to use your expression for $\theta$ as a function of hour $h$. \nSince the result from part (b) is a function of hour $h$, you must also convert the intensity $I_\odot$ to be in terms of hour... *** ... Consider how many seconds are in one hour.&#x20; *** Integrate the power with respect to hour $h$. The reason you are doing this is because: $$ dE = P dt \implies E = \int{P\,dt} $$ *** For the second part, consider that the power as a function of $h$ would be *constant* if the solar panel normal was tilted in the direction of the sun. \nThe below diagram may help you to find the new normal vector: ![](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/a2434ecb-2a51-4074-a108-e46080228a26/e1281c1f-7d6e-4ac8-a6c3-7e6f89852233.png) *** Proceed as you did in part (b) to find $P$... *** ... This should tell you the factor by which $P$ is reduced at latitude $\phi$. Hence multiply your result from part (c) by this factor.&#x20;

Currently, it is in seconds.&#x20; *** The 'energy incident per hour' is given by: $I_{h\odot} = 3600 I_{\odot}$. Then, to find the energy, we integrate the power with respect to time. This is because: $$ dE = P dt \implies E = \int{P\,dt} $$ *** $$ \begin{aligned} E_{eq} & = \int_{0}^{12} I_{h\odot} \sin\left(\pi\dfrac{h}{12} \right) \, dh \end{aligned} $$ *** $$ \begin{aligned} E_{\text{eq}}&= \frac{12\times3600I_{\odot}}{\pi} \left[-\cos\left( \pi\dfrac{h}{12} \right) \right]_{0}^{12} = \frac{2\times12\times3600I_{\odot}}{\pi} \\ & = 27.5\text{MJ} \end{aligned} $$ *** If the sunlight fell orthogonally all day, the incident power would be constant, and so: $\displaystyle E_\text{max} = I_{h\odot}\times 12 = I_{\odot}\times 12 \times 3600 = 43.2\text{MJ}$. So, by not moving the panel you receive only $\dfrac{2}{\pi} = 63.7\%$ of the sunlight. \nWhen the solar panel was at the equator ($\phi = 0$) latitude, $\mathbf{\hat{n}}=(1,0,0)$. But, at a latitude $\phi$ the normal vector points in the below direction: ![](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/a2434ecb-2a51-4074-a108-e46080228a26/fc8d5d40-1c87-465a-8612-0156039759ec.png) *** $$ \hat{\mathbf{n}} = (\cos\phi, 0, \sin\phi) $$ Proceeding as before: *** $$ {P} = \left| I_{\odot}\mathbf{\vec{k}}\cdot (-A\mathbf{\vec{n}})\right| = I_{\odot} \cos\theta \cos\phi $$ So incident sunlight is reduced by $\cos\phi$. Therefore, in London,&#x20; *** $$ E = E_{eq} \cos(51.5^\circ) = 17.1\text{MJ} $$

Entropy change can be calculated as &#x20;&#x20; $\Delta S = \int(\frac{\delta Q}{T})_{\mathrm{rev}}$ *** For a reversible, adiabatic process, $\delta Q_{\mathrm{rev}}= 0$. *** Therefore: &#x20;&#x20; $\Delta S_{\mathrm{rev}} = 0$ *** For an irreversible, adiabatic process, $\delta Q_{\mathrm{irrev}}= 0$, but we do not know $\delta Q_{\mathrm{rev}}$. *** From the second relationship, $\Delta S_{\mathrm{irrev}} > \Delta S_{\mathrm{rev}}$ *** Therefore: &#x20;&#x20; $ \Delta S_{\mathrm{irrev}} > 0 $ \nSince the heat is transferred from the system to the environment, $\delta Q$ is negative. *** Therefore, given the relation $\Delta S = \int(\frac{\delta Q}{T})_{\mathrm{rev}}$, it follows that $\Delta S$ is also negative for a reversible process. *** For an irreversible process: $\Delta S_{\mathrm{irrev}} > \Delta S_{\mathrm{rev}}$ *** Therefore, depending on the magnitude of the irreversibility, $\Delta S$ could be positive, negative or constant.
Entropy change, in general, is defined by the two relationships &#x20;&#x20; $\Delta S = \int(\frac{\delta Q}{T})_{\mathrm{rev}}$ &#x20;&#x20; and &#x20;&#x20; $\Delta S_{\mathrm{irrev}} > \Delta S_{\mathrm{rev}}$ Does the entropy of a system remain constant during reversible and irreversible adiabatic processes? \nWhat happens to the entropy when heat is transferred from the system to the environment?

Gaseous fuel must be provided for combustion in gas turbines. In a gasifier, solid carbon and steam (as oxidant) form gaseous carbon monoxide and hydrogen. This mixture is known as "water gas" and is used as fuel for turbines. The steam supplied to the gasifier at $1$ atm is dry-saturated and the carbon is at $25^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$. For simplicity, assume that steam is an ideal gas. The product mixture is at a temperature of $300^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ and contains no excess steam or carbon (i.e. complete reaction). The entry and exit velocities are negligible. Heat transfer occurs between the reaction mixture and the surroundings.&#x20;
Determine the magnitude and the direction of the heat transfer per kilogram of carbon burnt.

To begin, it may help you to look at **section 1.19** and **1.20** to see how cross products are applied to physics scenarios.&#x20; *** To find $d\vec{L}/dt$, refer to **section 1.18**...&#x20; *** ... The method is very similar to the product rule for differentiation.&#x20; *** Recall that $\vec{v} = d\vec{r}/dt$ and $\vec{a}= d\vec{v}/dt$... *** ... One of your terms will vanish because the cross product of a vector with itself is 0.&#x20;
We have $\vec{L} = \vec{r}\times(m\vec{v})$. To differentiate this with respect to time, we apply the rule for differentiating vector cross products (**section 1.18**):&#x20; *** $$ \displaystyle \rightarrow \qquad \frac{d\vec{L}}{d t} = \frac{d}{dt} \left( \vec{r}\times(m\vec{v}) \right) = m\left( \frac{d \vec{r}}{dt}\times\vec{v} \right) + m\left( \vec{r}\times\frac{d\vec{v}}{dt} \right) $$ We factored out $m$, and differentiated $\vec{r}\times\vec{v}$ similar to the product rule.&#x20; *** In the first expression, $d\vec{r}/dt = \vec{v}$; and so $\vec{v}\times\vec{v}=0$: $$ \frac{d\vec{L}}{dt} = m\left(\vec{r}\times \frac{d\vec{v}}{dt}\right) $$ *** ... Then, factoring $m$ back into the second term, we have by Newton's Second Law that $\vec{F} = m \frac{d\vec{v}}{dt}$. Therefore: *** $$ \displaystyle \rightarrow \qquad \frac{d\vec{L}}{d t} = \left( \vec{r}\times \vec{F} \right) = \vec{\tau} $$ As required.

When drawing a Mohr's strain circle, first an $x$-axis is drawn and the three different strain gauges are drawn out: &#x20; &#x20; ![](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/4cdb4858-cc99-4011-bb93-ef34607ede5b/d3565af7-ec6a-43b8-b7ce-d0fa07f3eb84.png) &#x20;

&#x20; $$ \begin{align} e_x+e_y=0.00035\\ \end{align} $$ &#x20; &#x20; And since $e_x=0.00035$, $e_y=0$. &#x20; &#x20; &#x20; *** Subtracting equations $(4)-(3)$: &#x20; &#x20; $$ \begin{align} \gamma_{xy}=0.0005 \end{align} $$ &#x20;

&#x20; $$ \sigma_{BM}=\frac{\text{length}}{\text{distance from neutral axis}}(\sigma_x)=\frac{50}{19}\times79.61=209.5\text{ MPa} $$ &#x20; &#x20; *** Using the following relationship, the bending moment can be found. &#x20;

Apply the SFEE, bearing in mind that there is no heat transfer and kinetic and potential energy changes can be neglected: &#x20;&#x20; $-\frac{\dot{W}}{\dot{m}} = h_{03} - h_{01}$ *** The enthalpies can be found using the steam tables. *** At state $1$, the vapour is superheated. From Table E26 at $600^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$, $20$ bar: &#x20;&#x20; $h_{01} = 3690.7~\mathrm{K}$ *** For the case of an isentropic process, $ s_{03\mathrm{s}} = s_{01} = 7.704~\mathrm{kJ/kgK} $ (from Table E26). *** The dryness fraction $ x_{03\mathrm{s}} $ can be calculated using values of $s_\mathrm{f}$ and $s_\mathrm{g}$ at $0.1$ bar (Table E20): &#x20;&#x20; $x_{03\mathrm{s}} = \frac{s_{03\mathrm{s}} - s_\mathrm{f}}{s_\mathrm{g} - s_\mathrm{f}}$ *** Substituting in numbers: &#x20;&#x20; $x_{03\mathrm{s}} - \frac{7.704-0.6492}{8.149-0.6492} = 0.94$ *** Now the enthalpy, $h_{03\mathrm{s}}$, can be calculated using the values of $h_\mathrm{f}$ and $h_\mathrm{g}$ at $0.1$ bar (Table E20): &#x20;&#x20; $h_{03\mathrm{s}} =191.81 + 0.94(2392.1) = 2440.4~\mathrm{kJ/kg}$ *** $h_{03}$ can be calculated using the equation for isentropic efficiency for a turbine: &#x20;&#x20; $\eta_{tt} = \frac{h_{01} - h_{03}}{h_{01} - h_{03\mathrm{s}}}$ *** Substituting in numbers and rearranging for $h_{03}$: &#x20;&#x20; $h_{03} = 3690.7 - 0.92(3690.7 - 2440.4) = 2540.4~\mathrm{kJ/kg}$ *** Substituting this back into the original SFEE equation: &#x20;&#x20; $\frac{\dot{W}}{\dot{m}} = -(2540.4-3690.7) = 1150~\mathrm{kJ/kg}$

From section 5.5 of the notes, stationary points of a function $u(x,y)$ are where $$ \begin{aligned} {\partial u\over\partial x} = 0 = {\partial u\over\partial y} \end{aligned} $$ By finding these partial derivatives and applying this condition, find the three stationary points of $u$. *** You can determine their nature using $$ \displaystyle E_0 = \left[(u_{xy})^2 - (u_{xx})(u_{xy}) \right]_{x_0, y_0} = \left[\left({\partial^2u\over \partial x\partial y}\right)^2 - \left({\partial^2u\over\partial x^2}\right)\left({\partial^2u\over\partial y^2}\right)\right]_{x_0, y_0} $$ where $(x_0, y_0)$ is the position of the stationary point. If $E_0>0$ it is a saddle point. If $E_0<0$ then if $\displaystyle \left({\partial^2u\over\partial x^2}\right)_{x_0, y_0} < 0$ it is a local maximum or if $ \displaystyle \left({\partial^2u\over\partial x^2}\right)_{x_0, y_0} > 0 $ it is a local minimum. If $E_0 = 0$ then you need to look at higher derivatives. Now, can you determine their nature of each of the stationary points?

When double-stranded DNA is heated, the two strands separate (‘melt’). The temperature ($T_{m}$) in degrees Celsius at which this melting occurs depends on the composition of bases in the DNA, because C and G are held together by more hydrogen bonds than A and T. If we call the percentage of bases that are guanine or cytosine $P_{G+C}$, then $T_{m}$  can be modelled approximately by the equation below.&#x20; $$ P_{G+C}=2.5T_{m}-175 $$

If the DNA is $21\%$ A, it is also $21\%$ T, and therefore $58\%$ G+C ($29\%$ each), so $T_m=\frac{P_{G+C}+175}{2.5}=\frac{58+175}{2.5}= 93\,\degree\mathrm{C}$

In the chemical reaction $\text{NO} + \text{O}_3 \rightarrow \text{NO}_2 + \text{O}_2$, there is an intermediate step where the $\text{NO}$ and $\text{O}_3$ molecules combine to form an activated complex $[\text{NO--O}_3]^{\ast}$. The diagram below shows an empirical potential energy curve representing the three different stages of the reaction. &#x20; ![](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/a2434ecb-2a51-4074-a108-e46080228a26/c33e9ed5-9d1c-4ede-be8c-7765ed98f982.png) Although the $x$ axis corresponds to an unspecified reaction coordinate, the diagram can be interpreted as any other potential function. The peak of the potential curve is 9.6 kJ$\cdot$ mol$^{-1}$ above the combined potential energy of the $\text{NO} + \text{O}_3$ reactants; this is the "activation energy" required for the reaction to take place. One mole consists of Avogadro’s number, $6.022 \times 10^{23}$, of $[\text{NO--O}_3]^{\ast}$ complexes. The mass of a nitrogen atom is 14 atomic mass units and the mass of an oxygen atom is 16 atomic mass units (where one atomic mass unit is $m_u \approx 1.66 \times 10^{-27}$).&#x20; &#x20;&#x20; An $\text{NO}$ molecule travelling in the $x$ direction at speed $u_{\text{NO}} = -550\,\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-1}$ and an $\text{O}_3$ molecule travelling at $u_{\text{O}_3} = +550\,\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-1}$ collide. After the collision, the molecules temporarily coalesce to form an $[\text{NO--O}_3]^{\ast}$ complex.

Find the total mass of the $\text{NO}$ and $\text{O}_3$ molecules, and hence also the $[\text{NO--O}_3]^{\ast}$ complex.&#x20; *** Use conservation of momentum to find the velocity of the complex. \nThe overall kinetic energy of a system decreases in an inelastic collision. *** Therefore, show that the kinetic energy of the collision is lower after the collision than before.&#x20; *** What forms is energy transferred to in a chemical reaction? ... *** ... How is the complex held together? \nThe collision will only form the products if the internal energy of the complex exceeds the activation barrier. *** Some of the energy of the complex was stored as kinetic energy. The rest of the energy is internal energy (i.e., energy in the bond, rotation etc.).&#x20; *** Hence find $ \Delta K $ in the reaction (go back to part (b)) *** Compare this to the activation energy. You will have to convert one of the energies so that the units are equivalent.&#x20; \nSet the potential energy of the interaction to zero when the two oxygen atoms are far apart.&#x20; *** For the entire system, what is the initial (i.e., when the oxygen atoms are far apart): * &#x20;sign of the energy (consider that the atoms have kinetic energy), * value of the momentum? Both of these are conserved. *** When the atoms become closer together, they are accelerated due to the strong force... *** ... This causes the potential energy of the system to decrease (i.e., become negative). *** Draw a potential function (similar to *Problem Sheet 2, Question* *3* but without the Coulomb barrier) to describe the situation. Draw a line showing the total energy of the system.&#x20; *** Is the viable region of the potential function such that the atoms will settle into an equilibrium, or is the arrangement instead unstable?
The total momentum before the collision that forms the complex is *** $$ p_{\text{tot}} = m_{\text{NO}} u_{\text{NO}} + m_{\text{O}_3} u_{\text{O}_3} = (14 + 16)m_u u_{\text{NO}} + (3\times 16)m_u u_{\text{O}_3}, $$ where $m_u \approx 1.66 \times 10^{-27}$kg is the atomic mass unit. Setting the value of $u_{\text{NO}}$ to $-550$m$\cdot$ s$^{-1}$ and $u_{\text{O}_3} = +550$m$\cdot$s$^{-1}$ gives: $$ p_{\text{tot}} \approx 1.64 \times 10^{-23}\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-1}. $$ *** The total momentum is conserved during the collision in which the two molecules bind to form the \[NO–O$_3$]$^{\ast}$ complex, so: $$ p_{\text{[NO--O$_3$]}^{\ast}} \approx 1.64 \times 10^{-23}\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-1} $$ and the velocity of the complex is: *** $$ v_{\text{[NO--O$_3$]}^{\ast}} \approx \frac{1.64 \times 10^{-23}}{[(14 + 16) + (3 \times 16)] m_u} \approx 127\,\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-1}. $$ \nThe total kinetic energy before the collision is *** $$ K = \frac{1}{2} m_{\text{NO}}v_{\text{NO}}^2 + \frac{1}{2} m_{{\text{O}}_3} v_{{\text{O}}_3}^2 = \frac{1}{2} [ (14 + 16) + (3 \times 16) ] m_u (550)^2 \approx 1.96\times 10^{-20}\,\text{J}. $$ The total kinetic energy after the collision is *** $$ K' = \frac{1}{2} m_{\text{[NO--O$_3$]}^{\ast}} \, v_{\text{[NO--O$_{3}$]}^{\ast}}^2 \\ = \frac{1}{2} (78 m_u) (127)^2 \\ \approx 1.04 \times 10^{-21}\,\text{J}. $$ The total KE has reduced so the collision was inelastic. *** The KE lost has gone into the internal energy of the activated complex, which has higher chemical energy than the two molecules of which it is formed (it is only metastable) plus internal vibrational and rotational energy. \nThe collision will only form the products if the internal energy of the complex exceeds the activation barrier. The internal energy is: *** $$ E^{\text{internal}}_{[\text{NO--O}_3]^{\ast}} = K - K' \approx 1.96 \times 10^{-20} - 1.04 \times 10^{-21} \approx 1.85 \times 10^{-20}\,\text{J}. $$ *** An activation barrier of $9.6\text{kJ}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}$ translates into *** $$ \frac{9.6 \times 10^3}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} \approx 1.59 \times 10^{-20} \, \text{J per complex}. $$ This is less than the internal energy provided by the collision, so the NO$_2$ and O$_2$ products will be formed (some of the time, at least). \nSet the potential energy of interaction to zero when the two oxygen atoms are far apart. Since the atoms are approaching each other, they already have some kinetic energy even before the attractive part of the interaction starts accelerating them towards each other. This means that their total energy $E$ is greater than zero. If we choose to work in the centre-of-mass frame, the total momentum is zero and the two oxygen atoms approach each other with equal and opposite momentum. *** Momentum and total energy are conserved, so the O$_2$ molecule must have zero total momentum but positive total energy $E$. If the molecule is to form, the kinetic energy of the molecules arriving at their equilibrium spacing (the difference between $E$ and the minimum value of $U(r)$) must be transferred into internal vibrational, rotational and electronic degrees freedom of the O$_2$ molecule. A negative potential energy must exist between the particles during acceleration (such that the kinetic energy can increase). *** Since the total energy of the molecule is greater than zero, it is large enough to provide the two O atoms with enough kinetic energy to unbind and escape to infinity. Unless some other nearby atom or molecule takes away the excess energy before it is too late, the highly-excited oxygen molecule will soon break up. *** &#x20; ![](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/a2434ecb-2a51-4074-a108-e46080228a26/173a947d-54f8-4286-b075-2e8f57f7515c.png) The figure above illustrates the situation. It shows the potential energy $U(r)$ of the two O atoms as a function of their separation $r$. The total energy $E$, indicated by the dashed red line, is greater than zero. The total kinetic energy at separation $r$, indicated by the green arrow, is $E - U(r)$. Because $E > 0$, the two escaping atoms will keep moving away from each other even as $r \rightarrow \infty$, i.e., the viable region exists for $r\to \infty$.&#x20;

What happens as $z$ increases? *** There are two ways to apply Stokes' Theorem to this problem: 1. Reduce the surface integral to a line integral by direct application of Stokes' theorem. 2. Simplify the surface using a principle of Stokes' theorem. *** **(Method 1)** Stokes' Theorem states: $$ \iint_{S}(\nabla\times\vec{V})\cdot d\vec{S}=\oint_{C,\text{ccw}}{\vec{V}\cdot d\vec{r}} $$ where the RHS is the line integral evaluated anti-clockwise around the loop $C$ that encloses the opening of the surface. *** **(Method 1)** What is the equation of $C$?&#x20; *** **(Method 1)** It may help to perform a substitution into a different coordinate system to evaluate the line integral. *** **(Method 2)** Stokes' Theorem dictates that it does not matter which open surface is considered as long as the opening remains the same.&#x20; *** **(Method 2)** Can you think of any surface 'attached' to the opening that will be easier to evaluate the surface integral over?&#x20; *** **(Method 2)** Hence evaluate the curl, and integrate the curl over this surface.
Stokes' Theorem states: $$ \iint_{S}(\nabla\times\vec{V})\cdot d\vec{S}=\oint_{C,\text{ccw}}{\vec{V}\cdot d\vec{r}} $$ where the RHS is the line integral evaluated anti-clockwise around the loop $C$ that encloses the opening of the surface.

Consider two systems labelled $A$ and $B$ which are weakly coupled according to the ODEs $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{dx_A}{dt} &= \phantom{\varepsilon} x_A + \varepsilon x_B\\ \frac{dx_B}{dt} &= \varepsilon x_A + \phantom{\varepsilon} x_B \ , \end{aligned} $$ where $\varepsilon \ll 1$.

See sections **3.1** and **5.1.2** to understand the term *coupled differential equation*. *** Start by differentiating $x_1$ and $x_2$ with respect to $t$. *** Insert the expressions for $dx_A/dt$ and $dx_B/dt$ into your equations. *** Now express the equations in terms of $x_1$ and $x_2$... *** ... Does this demonstrate that the equations are coupled (i.e., are variables shared between the equations)? \nStart with the $dx_1/dt$ and $dx_2/dt$ from part (a). *** Solve these differential equations for $x_1$ and $x_2$... *** ... Use separation of variables and remember the constant of integration. *** Use the definitions of $x_1$ and $x_2$ to express $x_A$ and $x_B$. \nInsert the boundary conditions to find $C_1$ and $C_2$. *** After inserting $C_1$ and $C_2$ into your equations, let $\varepsilon\rightarrow0$. What happens to the equations? \nFind the ratio between the solution to part (c), and the solution to part (b) if $\varepsilon$ is set equal to $0$.&#x20; *** If a system has low coupling, what happens to $\varepsilon$?&#x20; *** How does this influence the ratio you found?&#x20; *** Does this make it difficult to distinguish between coupled and uncoupled systems on a small time scale?
Starting with the definitions of $x_1$ and $x_2$ and differentiating with respect to $t$: *** $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{dx_1}{dt} &= \frac{dx_A}{dt} + \frac{dx_B}{dt} \\ \frac{dx_2}{dt} &= \frac{dx_A}{dt} - \frac{dx_B}{dt} \end{aligned} $$ *** Next, we insert $dx_A/dt$ and $dx_B/dt$ into equations (1) and (2): *** $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{dx_1}{dt} &= x_A + x_B + \varepsilon(x_A + x_B)\\ \frac{dx_2}{dt} &= x_A - x_B - \varepsilon(x_A - x_B) \end{aligned} $$ *** Then replace these expressions with $x_1$ and $x_2$: *** $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{dx_1}{dt} &= (1+\varepsilon)x_1 \nonumber \\ \frac{dx_2}{dt} &= (1-\varepsilon)x_2 \end{aligned} $$ *** and we see that these are two *independent* ODEs: $x_1$ does not occur in $dx_2/dt$ and $x_2$ does not occur in $dx_1/dt$; the equations are not linked (or *coupled*) in any way. \nSeparation of variables can be used to solve these ODEs. For example, for $dx_1/dt$: *** $$ \int{\frac{1}{x_1}\hspace{1pt} dx_1} = (1+\varepsilon)\int{dt} $$ *** $$ \ln{x_1} = (1+\varepsilon)t +C_1 $$ *** $$ \begin{align*} &x_1=e^{(1+\varepsilon)t + C_1}\\ &=C_1e^{(1+\varepsilon)t} \end{align*} $$ **Note:** We separated $e^{C_1}$ from the exponential, and let $C_1 = e^{C_1}$ (this is acceptable because $e^{C_1}$ is a constant). *** Performing the same process for to solve $dx_2/dt$, we have the solutions: *** $$ \begin{align} x_1 &= C_1 e^{(1+\varepsilon)t} \nonumber \\ x_2 &= C_2 e^{(1-\varepsilon)t} \ , \nonumber \end{align} $$ *** Given $x_1 = x_A + x_B$ and $x_2 = x_A - x_B$, we can solve simultaneously for $x_A$ and $x_B$: *** $$ x_A = \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} \\ x_B = \frac{x_1 - x_2}{2} $$ Inserting $x_1$ and $x_2$ and redefining the arbitrary constants ($C_1/2\rightarrow C_1$ and $C_2/2\rightarrow C_2$): *** $$ \begin{align} x_A &= C_1 e^{(1+\varepsilon)t} + C_2 e^{(1-\varepsilon)t} \nonumber \\ x_B &= C_1 e^{(1+\varepsilon)t} - C_2 e^{(1-\varepsilon)t} \ . \nonumber \end{align} $$\nInserting the boundary conditions and solving for $C_1$ and $C_2$ gives *** $C_1=1$ and $C_2=0$. Thus the solutions are: *** $$ \begin{align} x_A &= e^{(1+\varepsilon)t} \nonumber \\ x_B &= e^{(1+\varepsilon)t} \ . \nonumber \end{align} $$ *** In the limit of $\varepsilon \to 0$ the original ODEs turn uncoupled with solutions: *** $$ \begin{align} x_A &= e^{t} \nonumber \\ x_B &= e^{t} \ , \nonumber \end{align} $$ &#x20;which is exactly what happens in the limit of the previous solutions. This seems very reasonable. \nFrom part (c), we have that: $$ \begin{align} x_{A,1} &= e^{(1+\varepsilon)t} \nonumber \\ \end{align} $$ *** &#x20;Returning to part (b) for the general solution: $$ x_A = C_1 e^{(1+\varepsilon)t} + C_2 e^{(1-\varepsilon)t} $$ and setting $\varepsilon=0$, we have: *** $$ x_A = e^t (C_1+C_2) $$ With $C_1=1$ and $C_2=0$,&#x20; *** $$ x_{A,2} = e^t $$ *** The ratio between the two solutions is: $$ \frac{x_{A,1}}{x_{A,2}} = \frac{e^{(1+\varepsilon)t}}{e^t}=e^{\epsilon t} $$ *** The ratio between the coupled and the uncoupled solution only differs by the factor $\exp(\varepsilon t)$. If $\varepsilon$ is very small, it will take a long time for the coupled system to have any noticeable difference from the uncoupled one. Over such long time periods, the calibration of the measurement system may drift and it might not be possible at all to find the effect.

Can you find the integrals now? *** $$ \begin{aligned} \mathrm{First\,moment\,of\,mass\,in\,} x &= \int_0^a \sigma x b \left( 1-{x^2 \over a^2} \right)^{1\over2} \, \mathrm{d}x \\ &= \left[ -{\sigma b a^2 \over 3} \left(1-{x^2\over a^2} \right)^{3\over2} \right]^a_0 \\ &= {\sigma b a^2 \over 3} \\ \mathrm{First\,moment\,of\,mass\,in\,} y &= \int_0^a {\sigma\over2} b^2 \left(1-{x^2\over a^2} \right) \,\mathrm{d}x \\ &= \left[{\sigma b^2 \over 2} \left(x-{x^3\over 3a^2} \right) \right]^a_0 \\ &= {\sigma ab^2\over3} \end{aligned} $$ Now you can find the centre of mass coordinates! *** Using the equations above for $\bar{x}$ and $\bar{y}$, $$ \begin{aligned} \bar{x} &= \frac{\sigma ba^2\over3}{\sigma \pi ab \over 4}= {4a \over 3\pi} \\ \bar{y} &= \frac{\sigma ab^2 \over 3}{\sigma\pi ab \over4} = {4b\over3\pi} \\ \mathrm{Centre\,of\,mass} &= \left({4a\over3\pi}, {4b\over3\pi}\right) \end{aligned} $$

To show that $p_1(x)$ is normalised, show that the inner product $ \braket{p_1 | p_1} $ (see **section 2.3** of the notes) is 1. *** To show that $p_0(x)$ and $p_1(x)$ are orthogonal, show that their inner product $ \braket{p_0 | p_1} $ is 0.&#x20; \nExpress $p_2(x)$ as a general second-order polynomial (you may use your own symbols). *** Set-up three inner products equations from the given conditions.&#x20; *** Use the three equations to solve for the three unknown constants of $p_2$.&#x20; \nGo back to part (b), where you found a $p_2$ that was: * Orthogonal with $p_0$ and $p_1$ * Normalised How many equations were required to solve for $p_2$? *** Now, how would you generalise to a $p_n$? \n
To show that $p_1(x)$ is normalised, we must show that the inner product $ \braket{p_1 | p_1} $ (see **section 2.3** of the notes) is 1 in the interval $[-1,1]$. *** $$ \begin{aligned} \braket{p_1 | p_1} &= \int_{-1}^1{\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}x\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}x dx} \\ &= \int_{-1}^1{\frac{3}{2}x^2 dx} \\ &= \left[\frac{x^3}{2}\right]_{-1}^1 \\ &= 1 \end{aligned} $$ *** For $p_1$ being orthogonal to $p_0$, we have that $ \braket{p_0 | p_1} $ must be 0.&#x20; *** $$ \begin{aligned} \braket{p_0 | p_1} &= \int_{-1}^1{\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}}\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}x dx} \\ &= \left[\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}}x^2\right]_{-1}^1 \\ &= 0 \; . \end{aligned} $$ \nLet $p_2$ be of the form: $$ p_2(x) = \alpha + \beta x + \gamma x^2 $$ and now solve for $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\gamma$ by setting up three equations in terms of $p_0,p_1,p_2$ using the given conditions:&#x20; *** $$ \begin{align} \braket{p_0 | p_2} &= 0 \\ \braket{p_1 | p_2} &= 0 \\ \braket{p_2 | p_2} &= 1 \; . \end{align} $$ By evaluating the inner product integrals (simple integration of polynomials), we obtain the three results: *** $\beta=0$, $\alpha^2=\frac{5}{8}$ and $\gamma=-3\alpha$. The sign of $ \alpha $ is arbitrary (you can pick the $z$ axis in a cartesian coordinate system to form either a right-handed or left-handed system by changing its direction but in both cases it is orthogonal to the $x$ and $y$ axis).&#x20; *** So, there are two possible solutions for $p_2(x)$. If we pick $\alpha$ to be positive: $$ p_2(x) = \sqrt{\frac{5}{8}}(1-3x^2) \; . $$ \nIn part (b), we found that $3$ equations (one for normalisation, and two for orthogonality with $p_0,p_1$) were required to find $p_2(x)$. Now, we generalise this to $p_n$.&#x20; *** The method is to write down a general form of an $n^\text{th}$ order polynomial and then write down the $n+1$ equations that express orthogonality and normalisation. \nThe polynomials developed like this are called Legendre polynomials and are in particular relevant for finding solutions to electrostatic problems. In the same way that a periodic function can be expanded in terms of a Fourier series, a function on the interval $[-1,1]$ can be expanded in terms of Legendre polynomials.

Let $f$ and $g$ be two spatio-temporal functions (i.e. they both depend on $x$, $y$, $z$ and $t$). We assume that $f$ and $g$ are *bounded*, meaning that there exists a strictly positive real constant $M$ such that $|f|\leq M$ and $|g|\leq M$ for any point in space and time. Let $\lambda$ be a real constant. The time-average operator (denoted by the *overbar*) is given by: $$ \\ \bar{f}(x,y,z) \equiv \frac{1}{T}\int_{t_0}^{t_0+T}{f(x,y,z,t)\,\mathrm{d}t},\\ $$ where $t_0$ is a prescribed instant in time (the same applies to $g$). The assumption that $f$ is bounded ensures that the integral is finite (for example, functions of the type $1/(t-t_0)$ would not be satisfying this constraint). *prime* or *dash* (i.e. $^{\prime}$) represents the fluctuating component of the function, that is: $$ f = \bar{f} + f^\prime $$ Show that:

(**Surface Integral**) You can use the result derived in lectures that $d\vec{S}$ for a sphere of radius $a$ is given by $a^2\sin\theta d\theta d\phi\mathbf{\hat{r}}$.&#x20; *** (**Surface Integral**) Hence find $\vec{B}\cdot d\vec{S}$. Evaluate this over the limits of $\theta$ and $\phi$ for the sphere.&#x20; *** (**Divergence**) The divergence in spherical coordinates (ignoring $\mathbf{\hat{\theta}}$ and $\mathbf{\hat{\phi}}$ components as these do not exist) is: $$ (\nabla\cdot\vec{B})_r =\frac{1}{r^2}\frac{\partial}{\partial r}(r^2B_r) $$ *** (**Divergence**) After finding the divergence, can you see how to compute the divergence over the sphere$ \iiint_{V}{(\nabla\cdot\vec{B})dV} $ without explicitly evaluating the triple integral? *** (**Divergence**) Another way is to write $dV$ in spherical coordinates, remembering the Jacobian term, and perform a triple integral over the limits of the sphere.&#x20; *** The surface integral and divergence integral should be the same according to the divergence theorem.
On a sphere of radius $a=2$:&#x20; $$ d\vec{S} = a^2\sin\theta\,d\theta\,d\phi \,\mathbf{\hat{r}} = 4\sin\theta\,d\theta\,d\phi\,\mathbf{\hat{r}} $$ This result was derived in lectures (you may wish to prove it to yourself by the cross product).&#x20; *** On the surface of the sphere, $\vec{B} = r\mathbf{\hat{r}} = 2\mathbf{\hat{r}}$. Evaluating $\vec{B}\cdot d\vec{S}$: *** $$ \vec{B}\cdot d\vec{S} =8\sin\theta\,d\theta\,d\phi $$ The limits of the sphere are: *** $$ \begin{aligned} \theta: 0\to\pi\\ \phi: 0\to2\pi \end{aligned} $$ Integrating over the sphere: *** $$ \iint_{S}\vec{B}\cdot d\vec{S} = 8\int_{\phi=0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi}{\sin\theta\,d\theta\,d\phi} $$ *** $$ = 16\pi[-\cos\theta]_0^\pi=32\pi $$ , The divergence of the vector field $\vec{B}$ is given by: $$ (\nabla\cdot\vec{B})_r =\frac{1}{r^2}\frac{\partial}{\partial r}(r^2B_r) $$ (the $\theta$ and $\phi$ components evaluate to $0$).&#x20; *** $$ \nabla\cdot\vec{B} = \frac{1}{r^2}\frac{\partial}{\partial r}(r^3) = 3 $$ Integrating over the volume of the sphere: *** $$ \iiint_V{(\nabla\cdot\vec{B})dV}=3\iiint_V{dV} = 3\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\right) = 32\pi $$ Here, rather than explicitly evaluating the integral, we applied the formula for the volume of a sphere.&#x20; *** Alternately, in spherical coordinates, the Jacobian is $ r^2\sin\theta $ (do not insert the radius $a=2$ of the sphere here because we are evaluating over the entire volume of the sphere). So, $$ dV = r^2\sin\theta \,dr\,d\theta\,d\phi $$ This can be integrated over the limits of the sphere: $$ \begin{aligned} &r: 0\to 2\\ &\theta: 0\to \pi\\ &\phi: 0\to 2\pi \end{aligned} $$ ,
Evaluate the surface integral $\oiint_{S}{\vec{B}\cdot d\vec{S}}$ where $\vec{B}=r\mathbf{\hat{r}}$ in spherical polar coordinates and $S$ is a sphere of radius $2$ centred at the origin. Apply the divergence theorem to this integral and show that $\iiint_{V}{(\nabla\cdot\vec{B})dV}$gives the same answer.

The sanding disc, which may be considered to be a uniform disc of mass $m = 0.3~\mathrm{kg}$, has a diameter $D = 0.28~\mathrm{m}$.

Start off by calculating your values of the mass moment of inertia and the angular velocity of the uniform disk in rad/s (or any other units you may feel comfortable with!). *** Refer to Equation 5.1 in your notes to calculate the magnitude of the moment required, keeping in mind that in this case the angular velocity the user is trying to apply to the disk is equivalent to the angular velocity of precession. *** Draw the vector diagrams of the angular momentums using the right hand rule and the change in angular momentum of the rotor to graphically determine the direction of the required moment relative to the desired directions shown in the question. \nSee tutorial in part a
The gyroscopic moment about $x$ is given by: $$ M_x=I{\dot{\theta}}_y{\dot{\theta}}_z $$ ***   Where the angular velocity of the sanding disc is given by: $$ {\dot{\theta}}_y=2400\left(\cfrac{2\pi}{60}\right) $$ $$ {\dot{\theta}}_y=251.3~\mathrm{rad/s} $$ *** And the moment of inertia of the sanding disc is: $$ I=\cfrac{mr^2}{2} $$ $$ I=\cfrac{0.3\times{\left(\cfrac{0.28}{2}\right)}^2}{2} $$ $$ I=0.00294~\mathrm{kgm^2} $$ *** Substituting the values of the parameters gives: $$ M_x = 0.00294 \times 251.3 \times 1.0 $$ $$ M_x=0.739~\mathrm{Nm} $$ \nThe gyroscopic moment about $z$ is given by: $$ M_z=I{\dot{\theta}}_y{\dot{\theta}}_x $$ *** Substituting the values of the parameters gives: $$ M_z = 0.00294 \times 251.3 \times 0.5 $$ $$ M_z=0.369~\mathrm{Nm} $$

What does the curve look like in the x-y plane? *** Continuing in the x-y plane, what is the angle made by ${\bf{\vec{r}}}$ to the x axis? How can you relate this angle to $t$? Thus, what is the shape traced out by the curve in the x-y pane as a function of $t$? *** Remember that z also changes linearly with $t$ - what shape do you get by combining this with the shape described in the x-y plane? \nDifferentiate this position vector twice to find its first and second derivatives (**section 1.17**). *** What operation can you use to check these vectors are perpendicular to one another (hint: think about the previous problem set)? *** What is the angle between the vector describing the first derivative and the z axis?&#x20; *** As this angle is constant (i.e., independent of t), what shape is the vector sweeping out as it rotates around the z axis?
In the $xy$ plane $|{\bf \vec{r}_{⊥}}| = \sqrt{\cos ^2 t +\sin ^2 t} = 1$ and $\tan θ = \sin t/\cos t → θ = t$. Hence the curve traces out a circle with angle varying linearly with $t$.&#x20; *** &#x20;&#x20; However z also increases linearly with t, so this curve is a helix \nThe position vector ${\bf\vec{r}}$ to a point on the helix is given by: $$ {\bf\vec{r}} = (\cos t, \sin t, t) $$ *** To find the first and second derivatives, we differentiate this result twice (**section 1.17**):&#x20; $$ \frac{d\vec{{\bf r}} }{d\theta}= (-\sin t, \cos t, 1) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{d^2\vec{{\bf r}} }{d\theta^2}= (-\cos t, \sin t, 0) $$ *** Then&#x20; $$ \frac{d^2\vec{{\bf r}} }{d\theta^2}\cdot \frac{d\vec{{\bf r}} }{d\theta} = -\cos t\sin t \ + \sin t\cos t = 0 $$ NB: the curve and its tangent vector are only normal to one another if the vector is of constant amplitude (as $\frac{d\vec{{\bf r}} }{d\theta}$&#x20; *** We note that $|\frac{d{\bf\vec{r}}_{\bot}}{dt}|$ = $\sqrt{\sin ^2 t + \cos ^2 t}$ = $1$, so the angle made by this normal to the z-axis is&#x20; $$ \phi = \tan^{-1}(|\frac{d{\bf\vec{r}}_{\bot}}{dt}|/a_z) = \tan ^{-1}(1/1) = 45^{\circ} $$ The vector makes a constant angle to the z-axis as it rotates around this axis and thus describes a cone.&#x20;

Photosynthesis relies on electrons in chlorophyll molecules absorbing photons of light energy. This energy promotes electrons from a low-energy ground state to a high-energy excited state. For the chlorophyll-a dimer in the reaction centre of photosystem I (PS-I), the difference in energy between the ground and excited states is about 171 $\mathrm{kJ \cdot mol^{-1}}$.
By rearranging the equation below, calculate the wavelength of maximum absorbance of PS-I in nanometres $(1 \,\mathrm{nm} = 10^{-9} \, \mathrm{m})$. $$ E=\frac{N_{a}\, \cdot \, h \, \cdot \, c}{\lambda} $$ *  $E$   Difference in energy between ground and excited states ($171 \, \mathrm{ kJ \cdot mol^{-1}}$) * $N_{A}$  Avogadro constant ($6.022 \times 10^{23}\,\mathrm{mol}^{-1}$) * $h$   Planck constant  ($6.626\times10^{-34}\,\mathrm{J \cdot s}$) * $c$   Speed of light ($3\times10^{8} \, \mathrm{m \cdot s^{-1}}$) * $\lambda$  Wavelength of light ($\mathrm{m}$) \nChloroplasts possess a second photosystem (PS-II) absorbing at a different wavelength. Would this absorb photons of higher or lower wavelength than PS-I, given that the energy difference for its reaction centre is about $176 \, \mathrm{kJ \cdot mol^{-1}}$?

For the chlorophyll-a dimer in the reaction centre of photosystem I (PS-I), the difference in energy between the ground and excited states is about 171 $\mathrm{kJ \cdot mol^{-1}}$. By rearranging the equation below, calculate the wavelength of maximum absorbance of PS-I in nanometres $(1 \,\mathrm{nm} = 10^{-9} \, \mathrm{m})$. $$ E=\frac{N_{a}\, \cdot \, h \, \cdot \, c}{\lambda} $$ *  $E$   Difference in energy between ground and excited states ($171 \, \mathrm{ kJ \cdot mol^{-1}}$) * $N_{A}$  Avogadro constant ($6.022 \times 10^{23}\,\mathrm{mol}^{-1}$) * $h$   Planck constant  ($6.626\times10^{-34}\,\mathrm{J \cdot s}$) * $c$   Speed of light ($3\times10^{8} \, \mathrm{m \cdot s^{-1}}$) * $\lambda$  Wavelength of light ($\mathrm{m}$) \nChloroplasts possess a second photosystem (PS-II) absorbing at a different wavelength. Would this absorb photons of higher or lower wavelength than PS-I, given that the energy difference for its reaction centre is about $176 \, \mathrm{kJ \cdot mol^{-1}}$?

After ejecting fuel of mass $dM$, the rocket's speed increases from $v$ to $v+dv$... *** ... Hence write down the change in momentum of the rocket in a time $dt$ (see the lectures if you are unsure about this). *** A change of momentum is an impulse. What is the impulse produced by gravity on this system in the time $dt$? *** Hence equate your expression for the change of momentum to the gravitational impulse. *** Next, you need to integrate this equation (i.e., integrate $dv$, $dM$ and $dt$). What are the limits of the integrals? **Note:** use a dummy variable in the integrand to avoid confusion with the limits. *** Perform each integral over their limits. You should be able to re-arrange the resulting expression into the $v(t)$ in the question.

This problem is analogous to linear momentum, where the record landing on the table can be taken as the impact event. *** The moment of inertia of the turntable can be worked out using the information given about the electric drive torque and the time taken to reach the operating rotational speed (think of the rotational equivalent of $F = ma$). The moment of inertia of the record can be calculated as usual. *** Remember to convert the rotational speed from $\mathrm{rpm}$ to a more suitable form! Also remember that the question is looking for the change in speed, not the speed directly after impact. \nThe constant torque and the new combined moment of inertia can be used to find the new angular acceleration after impact. *** As you already know the reduction in speed, the time to reach operating speed can be simply determined. Again, don’t get confused by your units of angular velocity! \nExamine the kinetic energy before and after the record is dropped onto the table. Is there a difference? Where did the energy go?

Use conservation of energy. \nAt point $C$, a person has a reaction force acting upwards and weight acting downwards... *** ... The reaction should be $3g$. What is the resulting centripetal acceleration $a$? *** Hence use the result from part (a) to find the required height the rollercoaster must drop to achieve this speed. \nReferring to the $\color{green} \textsf{Structured Tutorial}$ in part (b), the reaction force should now be zero. What $a$ is required to achieve this? *** The result from part (a) still applies to a gain in height. Use this to solve for the drop between $B$ and $D$. &#x20; *** In terms of energy conservation, you only need to consider the height difference between $B$ and $D$; you can exclude the drop/rise around point $C$.&#x20; \nConsider conservation of energy. \nHow many roller coaster rides are operated during the twelve hours of operation each day? *** How much energy would this take? Hence find the average power.
The potential energy lost is the kinetic energy gained, so $\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh$ and $v = \sqrt{2gh}$. \nFor passengers to feel three times their normal weight at C, a passenger of mass $m$ should experience a reaction force of $3mg$ instead of the usual $mg$ when in equilibrium. This means that their centripetal force should be $2mg$ ($\text{Reaction - Weight} = 3mg - mg = 2mg$).&#x20; *** When we look at rotating frames at the end of the course you will see another way of looking at this: the passengers are in a rotating frame of reference which is noninertial; in rotating frames, Newton's laws are effectively modified and 'fictitious' forces appear. From the passengers' point of view, since they remain at rest in their frame they believe they experience an additional (fictitious) outward \`centrifugal' force such that the total force on them is zero, i.e. the fictitious force equal and opposite to the net force which provides the centripetal force in the inertial lab frame. This means they believe they are experiencing a force $3mg$ downwards and a force $3mg$ upwards. The centripetal acceleration is therefore: *** $$ \frac{v^2}{r} = 2g \quad \Rightarrow \quad v = \sqrt{2gr} . $$ *** Using the result from part (a), $\sqrt{2gh} = \sqrt{2gr}$, so $h = r = 10$m. \nFor the passengers to feel weightless at D, they should feel no upward force from the track. This means that the net downward force is the weight alone must provide the centripetal force required: *** $$ \frac{v^2}{r} = g \quad \Rightarrow \quad v = \sqrt{gr}. $$ *** The speed of the carriage at D is still given by the result of (a), with $h$ now the height difference between B and D.&#x20; *** Solving $\sqrt{gr} = \sqrt{2gh}$, the point D should be 5 m below the point B. \nSince the carriage is moving so slowly when it reaches B, the work done is almost entirely expended in increasing its potential energy: *** $$ \text{Work done} = mgh = 1500 \times 10 \times 10\,\text{J} = 1.5 \times 10^5\,\text{J} = 150\,\text{kJ}. $$ \nIf the College runs one carriage every 5 minutes for 12 hours, 144 carriages must be raised from A to B every day. *** The total energy required to do this is $144 \times 150$kJ. The average power over the 24 hours of one day is then: *** $$ \text{Average power} = \frac{144 \times 1.5 \times 10^{5}}{24 \times 60 \times 60} = 250\,\text{J}\cdot\text{s}^{-1} = 250\,\text{W}. $$

A fast response probe with sampling frequency equal to $5$ kHz has been placed at a given location fixed in space in the wake formed by an air flow $ u_{air}=1.8\times 10^{-5}$ $\mathrm{m^2/s}$ around a square bluff body with characteristic size $L=0.1$ m.

(*Challenge*): The sine function can be approximated on the interval $[0,\pi]$ by a second-order polynomial, $p_2(x)$, that satisfies $$ p_2(0) = 0, \qquad p_2(\pi/2) = 1, \qquad p_2(\pi)=0 \; . $$ For the interval $[-\pi,0]$ the function is just defined as the *odd continuation* of the positive interval.

Write the polynomial in the general form $p_2(x) = Ax^2 + Bx + C$. *** Set up 3 equations using the given conditions, and use them to solve for $A,B,C$. \nSketch the function (**remember** that for the interval $[-\pi,0]$ the function is just defined as the odd continuation of the positive interval).&#x20; *** Is $f(x)$ even or odd around $x=0$? Hence use arguments about the product of even/odd functions, and the integral of even/odd functions, to evaluate if $a_n$ or $b_n$ of the Fourier series are 0.&#x20; *** Reduce the interval of the remaining integral(s) to $[0,\pi]$ by considering the symmetry of the function. *** After this, you may be able to further simplify the calculation of the coefficients by determining if odd or even $n$ terms are 0... *** ... To do this, evaluate the parity (even/oddness) of the function about the half-interval $x=\pi/2$. *** Finally, evaluate your remaining integral(s)... *** ... Use integration by parts to evaluate the integral(s). \nThe formula for the Taylor series expansion about $x_0$ is: $$ f(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{f^{n}(x_0)}{n!}(x-x_0)^n $$ (see the **Functions** course for more details on evaluating the Taylor series). Carry out this expansion for $\sin(x)$ around $x=0$ and $x=\pi/2$.&#x20; *** Sketch the three approximations (i.e., the two Taylor expansions, and the Fourier series). You may choose to use graphing software such as Desmos, or write a Python script using `matplotlib.pyplot`.&#x20; *** Which expansions fit $\sin(x)$ the best over the largest range?
Let $$ p_2(x) = A x^2 + B x + C \; , $$ *** Then, we write down the three equations and solve for $A$, $B$ and $C$ using the given conditions:&#x20; $$ \begin{align} &p_2(0) = C = 0\\ &p_2(\pi/2) = A\left(\frac{\pi^2}{4}\right) + B\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) =1\\ &p_2(\pi) = A\pi^2+B\pi=0 \end{align} $$ Solving equations (2) and (3) simultaneously yields: *** $$ A = -\frac{4}{\pi^2} \qquad B = \frac{4}{\pi} \qquad C=0 \; , $$ and thus $$ p_2(x) = \frac{4}{\pi}\left(x - \frac{x^2}{\pi} \right) $$ \nFirst, we sketch the function found in part (a) in the interval $[0,\pi]$. Then, we extend this to $[-\pi,\pi]$, utilising the fact that for the interval $[-\pi,0]$ the function is defined as the *odd continuation* of the positive interval: *** *** The function is odd about $x=0$, so $f(x)\cos(nx)$ is odd. This means that $a_n=0$ for all $n$. $b_n$ is non-zero. *** Since $f(x)\sin(nx)$ is even, we can write: $$ b_n = \frac{1}{\pi}\int^{\pi}_{-\pi}{f(x)\sin(nx)\,\text{d}x} = \frac{2}{\pi}\int^{\pi}_{0}{f(x)\sin(nx)\,\text{d}x} $$ *** Around $x=\pi/2$:&#x20; * $f(x)$ is even * $\sin(nx)$ is even for odd $n$, and odd for even $n$.&#x20; Hence, $b_n$ evaluates to $0$ for even $n$.&#x20; *** Now, we only have to evaluate the integral for the $b_n$ terms where $n$ is odd. $$ \begin{aligned} b_n &= \frac{2}{\pi}\int_0^\pi p_2(x) \sin nx \,\text{d}x \\ &= \frac{8}{\pi^2}\int_0^\pi \left( x - \frac{x^2}{\pi} \right)\sin nx \,\text{d}x \\ \end{aligned} $$ Each term in the integral can be evaluated by parts twice. This leaves us with:&#x20; *** $$ \begin{aligned} b_n &= \frac{8}{\pi^2}\frac{1}{\pi n^3} \left( 2 - 2\cos n\pi - n\pi\sin n\pi \right) \\ &= \frac{32}{\pi^3n^3} \end{aligned} $$ We invoked that $\cos(n\pi)=(-1)^n=-1$ for odd $n$.&#x20; *** $$ f(x) = \sum_{n=1,3,5,...}^{\infty}\frac{32}{\pi^3 n^3}\sin(nx) $$ \nThe formula for the Taylor series expansion about $x_0$ is: $$ f(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{f^{n}(x_0)}{n!}(x-x_0)^n $$ (see the **Functions** course for more details on evaluating the Taylor series). *** The Taylor series expansion around $x=0$ of $\sin(x)$ is: *** $$ \begin{aligned} T_0(x) &= x - \frac{1}{6}x^3 + \ldots \\ \end{aligned} $$ *** while around $x=\pi/2$ it is: $$ T_{\pi/2}(x) = \frac{1}{2}(x-\pi/2)^2 + \ldots $$ *** The three different approximations are compared to $\sin x$ below.&#x20; ![](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/a2434ecb-2a51-4074-a108-e46080228a26/83a5bd7f-c901-4d2b-b01f-82869c8f0ec8.png) *** While the Taylor expansions are designed to provide the best possible fit close to the expansion point, they fail miserably elsewhere. Above, we see that $T_0(x)$ works well around $x=0$, and $T_1(x)$ works well around $x=\pi/2$; but the accuracy of the expansions fail as $x$ increases/decreases. The Fourier series, on the other hand, works effectively for all $x$.&#x20;

A shaft, $25\text{ mm}$ diameter, $1500\text{ mm}$ long, is fitted with a strain gauge, the axis of which is inclined at $45^{\circ}$ to the axis of the shaft. When calibrated with the shaft in pure torsion, the gauge records a strain of $0.0008$. In service, there is an end load which causes the shaft to extend $2.3\text{ mm}$ in length and to contract $0.012\text{ mm}$ in diameter.

Since you already know how to differentiate a vector with respect to $t$, you can integrate one too. An integral such as $\int \boldsymbol{\vec{F}}(t) , dt$ is really three integrals, one for each component: &#x20;$\int \boldsymbol{\vec{F}}(t) , dt = \left ( \int F_x(t) , dt, \int F_y(t) , dt, \int F_z(t) , dt \right )$. *** Start with Newton's second law in vector form. Integrate both sides from time $t_i$ to $t_f$.&#x20; *** Integrate both sides from time $t_i$ to $t_f$.&#x20;
Since you already know how to differentiate a vector with respect to $t$, you can integrate one too. An integral such as $\int \boldsymbol{\vec{F}}(t) , dt$ is really three integrals, one for each component: &#x20;$\int \boldsymbol{\vec{F}}(t) , dt = \left ( \int F_x(t) , dt, \int F_y(t) , dt, \int F_z(t) , dt \right )$. *** All you have to do is write out the steps from the lecture notes, replacing scalars by vectors: *** $$ \begin{aligned} & & m \frac{d\boldsymbol{\vec{v}}}{dt} &= \boldsymbol{\vec{F}}(t) \\ \end{aligned} $$ *** Integrating from time $t_i$ to $t_f$: *** $$ \begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow\qquad & m\int_{t_i}^{t_f} \frac{d\boldsymbol{\vec{v}}(t)}{dt} dt &= \int_{t_i}^{t_f} \boldsymbol{\vec{F}}(t) dt \\ \end{aligned} $$ *** $$ \begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow & m[\boldsymbol{\vec{v}}(t)]_{t_i}^{t_f} &= \int_{t_i}^{t_f} \boldsymbol{\vec{F}}(t) dt \\ &\Rightarrow & m\boldsymbol{\vec{v}}(t_f) - m\boldsymbol{\vec{v}}(t_i) &= \int_{t_i}^{t_f} \boldsymbol{\vec{F}}(t) dt . \end{aligned} $$ *** If you are unsure about this, you can deal with each component separately. For the $x$ component, you get: $$ \begin{aligned} & & m \frac{dv_x}{dt} &= F_x(t) \\ &\Rightarrow\qquad & m\int_{t_i}^{t_f} \frac{dv_x(t)}{dt} dt &= \int_{t_i}^{t_f} F_x(t) dt \\ &\Rightarrow & m[v_x(t)]_{t_i}^{t_f} &= \int_{t_i}^{t_f} F_x(t) dt \\ &\Rightarrow & mv_{x}(t_f) - mv_{x}(t_i) &= \int_{t_i}^{t_f} F_x(t) dt . \end{aligned} $$ The equivalent equations for the $y$ and $z$ components are derived in the same way.

This question relates to combined cycle plants and combined heat and power plants.
A gas turbine (GT) with an efficiency of $36\%$ is used in a conventional gas-steam combined cycle. The energy lost in the exhaust duct from the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), as a result of the exhaust gas being above ambient temperature, is $15\%$ of the energy supplied in the gas turbine fuel. Other losses from the GT and HRSG can be ignored. If the steam cycle efficiency is $34\%$, what is the overall efficiency of the combined cycle? \nAn industrial site requires equal amounts of energy in the form of electricity and heat. It currently takes electricity from a network where the power stations have an average electricity generation efficiency of $40\%$, and produces heat from onsite boilers with an efficiency (i.e. heat output / energy in fuel burned) of $86\%$. These energy supplies are to be replaced by an on-site combined heat and power (CHP) plant where the prime mover has an efficiency (for electricity) of $38\%$ and a heat-to-power ratio of $1$ (matching the site requirements). What will be:&#x20; &#x20;&#x20; (i) the energy utilisation factor of the CHP plant? &#x20;&#x20; (ii) the percentage saving in fuel energy (considering fuel consumed on site and in power stations)?

In a steam power plant, the boiler produces $40 ~\mathrm{kg/s}$ of steam in the saturated vapour state at a pressure of $20$ bar. In order to run the turbine at less than full load, the boiler exit steam is throttled to a pressure of $10$ bar before entering the turbine, by means of a well-insulated, partly-closed valve. The turbine has an isentropic efficiency of $0.80$ and there is a heat loss of $100~ \mathrm{kW}$ from its casing to the atmosphere. At the turbine exhaust, the steam pressure is $0.1$ bar and the mean velocity is $350~ \mathrm{m/s}$. Kinetic energies everywhere else are negligible.
Sketch the processes in the valve and turbine on an enthalpy - entropy ($h - s$) diagram, including the relevant isobars. (Assume that the steam is wet at the turbine exhaust). \nShow that the dryness fraction of the steam at the turbine exhaust is $0.856$. \nCalculate the shaft power produced. \nCalculate the required flow cross-sectional area at the turbine exhaust.

On an $h-s$ diagram, the bell shape is slightly skewed. Throttling is an isenthalpic process (see Q3), so process $1-2$ is a straight horizontal line. Process $2-3$, had it been isentropic, would have been represented by a straight vertical line. However, since the isentropic efficiency is not $1$, entropy increases and therefore a straight diagonal line (leading to the right) is drawn instead. \nAt state $1$, the steam is saturated vapour at $20$ bar. Therefore, looking at Table E21: &#x20;&#x20; $h_1 = h_\mathrm{g} = 2798.4\mathrm{~kJ/kg}$ *** Since process $1-2$ is isenthalpic, $h_2 = h_1$. Therefore, the entropy at state $2$ can be found from the superheated steam tables at $10$ bar (Table E26). *** However, since the exact value of $h$ does not appear in the table, it is necessary to interpolate: &#x20;&#x20; $s_2 = \frac{2798.4-2777.4}{2828.3-2777.4}\times(6.695-6.586) + 6.586 = 6.631~\mathrm{kJ/kgK}$ *** State $2-3$ is not isentropic, but the isentropic efficiency is known. Therefore, the value of $h$ for the theoretical isentropic process ($h_{3\mathrm{s}}$) can be found, after which the equation for isentropic efficiency for a turbine can be used to find $h_3$.(*See note at the bottom)* *** &#x20;First find the isentropic dryness fraction using values of $s_\mathrm{f}$ and $s_\mathrm{g}$ at $0.1$ bar (Table E20): &#x20;&#x20; $x_{3\mathrm{s}} = \frac{6.631-0.6492}{8.149-0.6492} = 0.798~\mathrm{kJ/kgK}$ *** Now $h_{3\mathrm{s}}$ can be calculated using values of $h_\mathrm{f}$ and $h_\mathrm{g}$ at 0.1 bar (Table E20 again): &#x20;&#x20; $h_{3\mathrm{s}} = 191.81+0.798(2392.1) = 2100.7~\mathrm{kJ/kg}$ *** The equation for isentropic efficiency can now be used to calculate $h_3$: &#x20;&#x20; $\eta_\mathrm{s, turbine} = \frac{h_3-h_2}{h_{3\mathrm{s}}-h_2}$ *** Substituting in numbers and rearranging:&#x20; &#x20;&#x20; $h_3 = 0.8(2100.7-2798.4)+2798.4 = 2240.24~\mathrm{kJ/kg}$ *** Now the dryness fraction, $x_3$ can be calculated using the values found from Table E20 for $h_\mathrm{f}$ and $h_\mathrm{g}$: &#x20;&#x20; $x_3 = \frac{2240.24-191.81}{2392.1} = 0.856$ *** NOTE: Strictly speaking, isentropic efficiency should only be allowed for adiabatic processes. However, engineering practice is not so pedantic when $| \dot{Q}|<<|\Delta h|$ as it is in this case. \nShaft power $= \dot{W}_\mathrm{net} = \dot{W}_{23}$ *** This can be found by applying the SFEE to process $2-3$, bearing in mind that potential energy changes can be neglected. Note that in this case, there is a change in kinetic energy. *** Therefore: &#x20;&#x20; $\dot{W}_{23} =\dot{Q}_{23} -\dot{m}[(h_3-h_2) + (\frac{c_3^2}{2}-\frac{c_2^2}{2})]$ *** The values for $\dot{m}$ and $c_3$ are given in the question, and $c_2$ is stated to be negligible. $h_3$ and $h_2$ were calculated in part (b). Therefore, substituting in numbers: &#x20;&#x20; $\dot{W}_\mathrm{net} = -100-40[(2240.24-2798.4)+(\frac{350^2}{2\times 1000})] = 19.8~\mathrm{MW}$ \nThe required flow cross sectional area will depend on the flow rate and fluid velocity.&#x20; *** Therefore, the following equation can be used: &#x20;&#x20; $\dot{m} = \rho cA$ *** The flow rate and fluid velocity are known quantities. The density can be found by calculating the specific volume at state $3$ and taking the reciprocal. *** At state $3$, the pressure is $0.1$ bar and the dryness fraction is $0.856$. Using Table E20 to find the values of $v_\mathrm{f}$ and $v_\mathrm{g}$: &#x20;&#x20; $v_3 = 0.001010+0.856(14.67-0.001010) = 12.56~\mathrm{m^3/kg}$ *** Therefore: &#x20;&#x20; $\rho = \frac{1}{12.56} = 0.0796~\mathrm{kg/m^3}$ *** Therefore: &#x20;&#x20; $A = \frac{\dot{m}}{\rho c} = \frac{40}{0.0796\times 350} = 1.44~\mathrm{m^2}$
In a steam power plant, the boiler produces $40 ~\mathrm{kg/s}$ of steam in the saturated vapour state at a pressure of $20$ bar. In order to run the turbine at less than full load, the boiler exit steam is throttled to a pressure of $10$ bar before entering the turbine, by means of a well-insulated, partly-closed valve. The turbine has an isentropic efficiency of $0.80$ and there is a heat loss of $100~ \mathrm{kW}$ from its casing to the atmosphere. At the turbine exhaust, the steam pressure is $0.1$ bar and the mean velocity is $350~ \mathrm{m/s}$. Kinetic energies everywhere else are negligible. Sketch the processes in the valve and turbine on an enthalpy - entropy ($h - s$) diagram, including the relevant isobars. (Assume that the steam is wet at the turbine exhaust). \nShow that the dryness fraction of the steam at the turbine exhaust is $0.856$. \nCalculate the shaft power produced. \nCalculate the required flow cross-sectional area at the turbine exhaust.

In one-dimensional inelastic collisions, the coefficient of restitution $e$ is defined by the equation $$ v_2 - v_1 = -e (u_2 - u_1), $$ where $v_1$ and $v_2$ are the final velocities of the two bodies and $u_1$ and $u_2$ are their initial velocities. Use this equation, plus momentum conservation, to derive the following expressions for the final velocities of the two bodies (of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$) in the case when the second body is initially at rest ($u_2 = 0$): $$ \begin{aligned} v_1 &= \frac{(m_1 - e m_2) u_1}{m_1 + m_2}, & v_2 &= \frac{(1 + e)m_1 u_1}{m_1 + m_2}. \end{aligned} $$

Write down momentum conservation alongside the equation given in the question (remembering that $u_2=0$) *** You now have a pair of simultaneous equations that you must solve for $v_1$ and $v_2$ in terms of $u_1$. *** There are many ways to approach this, but one approach is to multiply $v_2 - v_1 = eu_1$ by $m_1$ and add it to the momentum conservation equation. Can you find $v_1$ and $v_2$ from here?
Start by writing down the definition of the coefficient of restitution and the law of conservation of momentum in the case when $u_2 = 0$: *** $$ \begin{align} v_2 - v_1 &= eu_1 ,\\ m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2 &= m_1 u_1 . \end{align} $$ *** Our job is to solve for $v_1$ and $v_2$ as functions of $u_1$. One way is to multiply equation (1) by $m_1$, $$ m_1 v_2 - m_1 v_1 = e m_1 u_1, $$ and add it to equation (2) to obtain: *** $$ m_2 v_2 + m_1 v_2 = m_1 u_1 + e m_1 u_1 , $$ which rearranges to give $v_2$ equal to: *** $$ v_2 = \frac{(1 + e)m_1 u_1}{m_1 + m_2}. $$ Plugging this back into equation (1) and re-arranging for $v_1$ yields: *** $$ v_1 = v_2 - eu_1 = \frac{(1+e)m_1 u_1}{m_1 + m_2} - \frac{e(m_1 + m_2)u_1}{m_1 + m_2} = \frac{(m_1 - e m_2)u_1}{m_1 + m_2}. $$

At some time $(t = - T)$ in the morning, it starts snowing at a constant heavy rate and continues to do so. A snow plough starts at noon $(t = 0)$ and moves along a road removing snow at a constant rate. The velocity $\displaystyle {\mathrm{d}x\over \mathrm{d}t}$ of the plough is given by $$ \displaystyle {\mathrm{d}x\over \mathrm{d}t} = {K\over (t + T)} $$ where $K$ is a constant. The plough travels 2 km in the first hour and 1 km in the second hour.
At what time did it start snowing (i.e. find $T$)?&#x20; Convert your answer to a decimal and type it in the answer box below

You can start by finding $x(t)$ from the equation of $\displaystyle {\mathrm{d}x\over \mathrm{d}t}$. *** Now, look at the conditions given. Find $x$ at the three conditions for $t$, and solve the simultaneous equations to find $T$. *** Remember that $T$ is positive as it starts snowing before noon ($t=0$) at $t=-T$. So take the positive root of $T$.
(This is not *too* unreasonable a model in that snow is removed at a constant rate by *volume*. There is a drawback when the snow depth is very small..) You can start by finding $x(t)$ from the equation of $\displaystyle {\mathrm{d}x\over \mathrm{d}t}$. *** By integrating (and where $C$ is an arbitrary integration constant),&#x20; $$ \begin{aligned} {{\mathrm{d}x}\over {\mathrm{d}t}} &= {K\over (t + T)} \\ x(t) &= K\ln(t+T) + C \end{aligned} $$ *** Now, look at the conditions given. Find $x$ at the three conditions for $t$, and solve the simultaneous equations to find $T$. *** At noon, $t=0$, $$ x(0) = K\ln(T) + C = 0 $$ where we have set $x(0)=0$ as the snow plough has not moved yet. In the first hour, $t=1$ $$ x(1) = K\ln(1+T) + C = 2 $$ as it moved 2km in the first hour. In the second hour, $t=2$,&#x20; $$ x(2) = K\ln(2+T)+C = 2+1=3 $$ Now can you solve these simultaneous equations to find $T$? *** There are a few ways to solve these simultaneous equations, you can use this way, but there are other methods that should give the same result: $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{x(2)-x(1)}{x(1)-x(0)} = {1\over2} &= \frac{\ln(2+T)-\ln(1+T)}{\ln(1+T)-\ln(T)} \end{aligned} $$ Can you finish rearranging to find $T$? *** $$ \begin{aligned} 2\ln(2+T)-2\ln(1+T) &= \ln(1+T) - \ln(T) \\ \ln\left(\frac{2+T}{1+T} \right)^2 &= \ln\left({1+T\over T}\right) \\ T(2+T)^2 &= (1+T)^3 \\ T^2 + T - 1 &=0 \\ T & = -{1\over2}\pm{1\over2}\sqrt{5} \end{aligned} $$ *** Remember that $T$ is positive as it starts snowing before noon ($t=0$) at $t=-T$. *** So we take the positive root $\displaystyle T={1\over2}(\sqrt{5}-1) = 0.618...$ hours. Hence, it started to snow at $11:22$am, almost $11:23$am.&#x20; ($t=0$ was noon, 12:00, and 0.618.. of an hour is just over 37minutes, so the clock has not quite ticked over to $11:23$am.) *** In passing, we note that the solution does coincidentally involve the golden ratio, $\tau$, which is defined such that $\tau -1 - \frac{1}{\tau}$ ![](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/059363c8-f40b-4d2b-89ee-42d4602d829f/faddd6b7-82bb-4dc7-a463-ce64a5242345.png)Solving this quadratic for $\tau$, we get&#x20; $$ \begin{aligned} \tau^2 - \tau &= 1\\\Rightarrow \tau _{roots} &= \frac{1 \pm 5}{2} \\ &= \pm 1.618... \end{aligned} $$ The golden ratio famously appears in art, and can also be related to the Fibonacci Sequence (i.e, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21...) $$ \begin{aligned} \\ \mathrm{Fibonacci\ defined\ via}: u_{n+2} &= u_{n} + u_{n+1}\\ \Rightarrow \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{u_{n+1}}{u_n} &= \tau \end{aligned} $$ This is also only the first in a sequence of 'snow plow problems'. You may also wish to consider the following scenario (very hard): what if there was a second plow following from 1 pm, say and even a third plow following from 2 pm?&#x20; ![](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/059363c8-f40b-4d2b-89ee-42d4602d829f/a64f5eab-e17d-4e32-a5b9-76ed0aed918a.png) You will need to consider the fact that the snow builds up from when the previous plow passes by. There will be a collision. When? Where? Snow starts?

For implicit differentiation, take the derivative with respect to $x$, $\displaystyle\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}$, on both sides of the equation. $$ \displaystyle{\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}}(xe^{y} )= {\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}}(\cos(xy)) $$ *** Let's first consider the LHS: $\displaystyle\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(xe^y) = \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x} e^y + x\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(e^y)$ using the product rule. Then using the chain rule, let $f(y) = e^y$ and $\displaystyle\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x} f(y(x)) = \frac{\mathrm{d}f}{\mathrm{d}x} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}$ Can you evaluate the LHS now? *** $$ \begin{aligned} e^y + xe^y\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} \end{aligned} $$ *** Now consider the RHS: $$ \displaystyle {\mathrm{d}\over \mathrm{d}x}(\cos(xy)) $$ As you have a function $\cos$ of another function $xy$, use the chain rule. Use the substitution $u=xy$, so that you have $$ \displaystyle {\mathrm{d}\over\mathrm{d}x}(\cos(u)) $$ *** Using the chain rule, let $f(u)=\cos(u)$ and $u=xy$, so that $\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{d}f}{\mathrm{d}x} = \frac{\mathrm{d}f}{\mathrm{d}u} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{d}u}{\mathrm{d}x}$ *** Then,&#x20; $$ \displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(\cos(xy)) = -\sin(xy)\left(y + x\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}\right) $$ Now rearrange, *** $$ \begin{aligned} e^y + xe^y\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} &= -\sin(xy)\left(y + x\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}\right) \\ \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} &= -\frac{y\sin(xy) + e^y}{xe^y+x\sin(xy)} \end{aligned} $$ \nFirst, get this into a form easier to handle. $$ x=\sec(y) $$ *** Using implicit differentiation, take the derivative with respect to $x$ on both sides. *** &#x20;$\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}y} (\sec(y))=\sec(y)\tan(y)$. Can you differentiate both sides now? *** $$ \displaystyle 1 = \sec(y)\tan(y)\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} $$ Rearrange: $$ \displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = \frac{1}{\sec(y)\tan(y)} $$ Now, get this into a function of $x$.&#x20; *** To get the RHS in terms only of $\sec(y)$, try using a trigonometric identity involving $\tan y$ and $\sec y$. *** Use the identity $1+\tan^2(y) = \sec^2(y)$... Did you find the expression? *** $$ \displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = \frac{1}{x \sqrt{x^2-1}} $$ You might have written the answer as $$ \displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = \frac{1}{|x| \sqrt{x^2-1}} $$ Which answer is really the correct one? Hint: sketch $x(y)$ and consider the range of the function

An explosion on a ship $5\ \mathrm{km}$ away from the coast releases a quantity $M$ of contaminant. The wind velocity is $U$ towards the shoreline. The contaminant diffuses at a rate of $D$.

Diffusion occurs in the vertical $z$ direction, horizontal $x$ direction (towards the shoreline) and span-wise $y$ direction. Advection only occurs in the $x$ direction. Therefore, the equation governing the concentration distribution is given by $$ \dfrac{\partial C}{\partial t} + U\dfrac{\partial C}{\partial x} = D \Bigg\lbrace{\dfrac{\partial^2 C}{\partial x^2} + \dfrac{\partial^2 C}{\partial y^2} + \dfrac{\partial^2 C}{\partial z^2} \Bigg\rbrace}. $$ *** As the sea surface is modelled a perfect reflector, we require the concentration gradient at this location $(z = 0)$ to be zero so that there is no mass flux across it. In other words, there is no diffusion vertically downwards. To incorporate this into our solution, we introduce an image source of strength $M$ which is coincident with the actual source, i.e. at $z = 0$, such that the two sources diffuse at identical rates (if the distance to a reflector is $h$ from the actual source, an image source is placed at $2h$ from the actual source on the other side of the reflector, which is at $z=0$ in this case). This leads to a source strength at $z = 0$ of $2M$ $$ C(x,y,z,t)=C_{D}(X, y, z, t) = \dfrac{2M}{(2\pi)^{3/2} \sigma^3}e^{\dfrac{-(X^2 + y^2 + z^2)}{2\sigma^2}}, $$ where $X=x-Ut$ is a translated coordinate, moving with the fluid at velocity $U$, $\sigma=\sqrt{2Dt}$, and $C_{D}$ is a solution to the diffusion equation. \nThe maximum concentration occurs at $(x = x_{\max} = Ut, y = 0, z = 0)$ and, hence, is given by $$ C_{\max} = \dfrac{2M}{(2\pi)^{3/2} \sigma^3}. $$ *** Taking $M = 10\ \mathrm{kg}$, $U = 5\ \mathrm{m/s}$, $x = 5000\ \mathrm{m}$, and $D = 0.2\ \mathrm{m^2/s}$, and the above above equation, the following table can be produced for $C_{\max}$. | $t\ \mathrm{[s]}$ | $C_{\max} \mathrm{[kg/m^{3}]}$ | | :---------------- | :----------------------------- | | 10 | 0.159 | | 20 | 0.056 | | 30 | 0.031 | | 40 | 0.020 | | 50 | 0.014 | | 60 | 0.011 | | 70 | 0.009 | | 80 | 0.007 | | 90 | 0.006 | | 100 | 0.005 | The figures below show the plots of the maximum concentration $C_{\max}$ and the location $x_{\max} = Ut$ at which this occurs as a function of time. ![image](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/fdeed8b7-66a6-47f1-95b4-7e7d8deda0dc/39d223c3-9914-4cf6-b9a0-2323983685f0.png) *Maximum concentration *$C_{\max}\ \mathrm{[kg/m^3]}$* as a function of time $t$.* ![image](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/fdeed8b7-66a6-47f1-95b4-7e7d8deda0dc/099d8027-7ac9-484a-a28e-e8cfd351f98d.png) *Location *$x_{\max}$* at which *$C_{\max}$* occurs a function of time $t$.* \nWe examine the contaminant concentration at the coastline directly in line with the source, i.e. $x = 5000\ \mathrm{m}$, $y = z = 0$. Taking $M = 10\ \mathrm{kg}$, $U = 5\ \mathrm{m/s}$, $x = 5000\ \mathrm{m}$, and $D = 0.2\ \mathrm{m^2/s}$, the table below calculates $C$ from $C(x, y, z, t) = \dfrac{2M}{(2\pi)^{3/2} \sigma^3}e^{\dfrac{-((x - Ut)^2 + y^2 + z^2)}{2\sigma^2}}$ as a function of time $t$, where $C$ is in $\mathrm{mg/m^3}$. *** | $t\ \mathrm{[s]}$ | $C\ \mathrm{[mg/m^3]}$ | | :---------------- | :--------------------- | | 990 | 0.007 | | 995 | 0.073 | | 1000 | 0.159 | | 1005 | 0.073 | | 1010 | 0.007 | Thus, the figure below is an accurate plot of $C$ versus $t$ at $x=5000\ \mathrm{m}$. ![image](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/fdeed8b7-66a6-47f1-95b4-7e7d8deda0dc/fd31992c-d9d6-4458-9cad-ac4f9ac2ae73.png) *Concentration at the shoreline $(x = 5\ \mathrm{km})$ as a function of time $t$.* \n

The expected buckling mode: &#x20; &#x20; ![](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/4cdb4858-cc99-4011-bb93-ef34607ede5b/37e6b034-4f72-4cf4-9589-97c10961113c.png) &#x20; *** The Euler equivalent length is $2L$ as only one end is built-in.&#x20; &#x20; &#x20; *** Therefore, the critical pressure for buckling per table leg is: &#x20; &#x20; $$ \begin{align} P_c=\frac{\pi^2EI}{(2L)^2}=\frac{\pi^2EI}{4L^2} \end{align} $$ &#x20; &#x20; *** The second moment of area for a circular cross section: &#x20; &#x20; $$ \begin{align} I&=\frac{\pi}{64}(d_\text{o}^4-d_\text{i}^4)\\ &=\frac{\pi}{64}(0.025^4-0.021^4) \nonumber\\ &=9.628\times10^{-9}\text{ m}^4 \nonumber \end{align} $$ &#x20; &#x20; *** Substituting values into equation $(1)$, where $E=207\text{ GPa}$ for steel: &#x20; &#x20; $$ \begin{align*} P_c=\frac{\pi^2(207\times10^9\times9.628\times10^{-9})}{4\times0.9^2}=6.07\text{ kN} \end{align*} $$ &#x20; &#x20; *** Therefore, the critical buckling pressure for all 4 table legs would be: &#x20; &#x20; $$ 4\times6.07=\boxed{24.28\text{ kN}} $$ \nIf the legs are built into the floor, the expected buckling load would be as follows: ![](https://lambda-feedback-staging-frontend-client-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/4cdb4858-cc99-4011-bb93-ef34607ede5b/ebddc5e3-3b84-4507-b8c2-8cf2102a6d3f.png) &#x20; *** The Euler equivalent length for two built in ends is $L$ which is the distance between the two points of inflection. &#x20; &#x20; *** Therefore, the critical buckling pressure per leg can be found using the equation below:\ &#x20; &#x20; $$ P_c=\frac{\pi^2EI}{L^2} $$ &#x20; &#x20; *** The equation above is 4 times larger than the previous case $\left(P_c=\frac{\pi^2EI}{4L^2}\right)$. &#x20; &#x20; *** Therefore, the bench will buckle at: &#x20; &#x20; $$ 4\times24.28=\boxed{97.12\text{ kN}} $$
A bench top is supported by four tubular steel legs $0.9 \text{ m}$ long, with cross-section $25\text{ mm}$ outer diameter and $2\text{ mm}$ wall thickness. The legs are attached rigidly to the underside of the bench top, which is free-standing. At what load will the legs buckle, assuming that they are equally-loaded? Draw the buckling mode you expect. \nIn order to make it more stable, the legs are attached rigidly to the floor. What buckling mode do you now expect, and what failure load?
