Question(s) For Assignment 2

The document describes three assignment problems involving ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The first problem involves solving an ODE that models the draining of a cylindrical tank of water, with an initial water level of 3m. The second problem involves solving an ODE that models the motion of a thin rod fixed at one end with a mass at the other, with an initial angular velocity of 0.25 rad/s. The third problem involves solving a first-order stiff differential equation numerically and analytically over the time period from 0 to 5, with an initial condition of 4.

ASSIGNMENT TWO : OPTION

BACKGROUND

If water is drained from a vertical cylindrical tank by opening a valve at the base, the water will flow fast
when the tank is full and slow down as it continues to drain. As it turns out, the rate at which the water
level drops is
𝑑𝑦
= −𝑘√𝑦
𝑑𝑡
Where k is a constant depending on the shape of the hole and cross-sectional area of the tank and drain
hole. The depth of the water y is measured in meters and the time t in minutes. If k=0.06, determine how
long it takes the tank to drain if the fluid level is initially 3m. Solve by applying any two methods to solve
ODE. Use a step of 0.5 minutes.

ASSIGNMENT TWO : OPTION


BACKGROUND

Consider the thin rod of length l moving in the x-y plane as shown in Fig. P26.13. The rod is fixed with a
pin on one end and a mass at the other. Note that g = 9.81 m/s2 and l = 0.5 m. This system can be solved
using

𝑔
𝜃̈ − 𝜃=0
𝑙

Let θ = 0 and 𝜃̇= 0.25 rad/s. Solve using any method studied in Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE)
chapter. Plot the angle versus time and the angular velocity versus time. (Hint: Decompose the second-
order ODE)

ASSIGNMENT TWO : OPTION(4)


BACKGROUND

Given the first-order (ODE)

𝑑𝑥
= −700𝑥 − 1000𝑒 −𝑡
𝑑𝑡
𝑥(𝑡 = 0) = 4
Solve the stiff differential equation using a numerical method and over the time period 0 ≤ 𝑡 ≤ 5. Also
solve analytically and plot the analytical and numerical solution for both the fast transient and slow
transition phase of the timescale
