    Dear Student,

    Please read the section on assignments in the Programme Guide for B. Sc. that we sent you
    after your enrolment. A weightage of 30 per cent, as you are aware, has been earmarked for
    continuous evaluation, which would consist of one tutor-marked assignment for this
    course. The assignment is in this booklet, and it consists of two parts, Part A and B. The total
    marks of all the parts are 100, of which 35% are needed to pass it.

    Instructions for Formatting Your Assignments

    Before attempting the assignment please read the following instructions carefully:

    1) On top of the first page of your answer sheet, please write the details exactly in the
    following format:

    ENROLMENT NO.: ….…………………………………………


    NAME: …………………………………………………
    ADDRESS: ……………………………………………
    ………………………………………………………….
    ………………………………………………………….
    COURSE CODE:………………………….
    COURSE TITLE: …………………………
    ASSIGNMENT CODE: …………………..
    STUDY CENTRE: ……………………….. DATE: …………………….………………...

    PLEASE FOLLOW THE ABOVE FORMAT STRICTLY TO FACILITATE


    EVALUATION AND TO AVOID DELAY.

    2) Use only foolscap size writing paper (but not of very thin variety) for writing your answers.
    3) Leave 4 cm margin on the left, top and bottom of your answer sheet.
    4) Your answers should be precise.
    5) Solve Part A and Part B of this assignment, and submit the complete assignment
    answer sheets containing Parts A and B within the due date.
    6) The assignment answer sheets are to be submitted to your Study Centre as per the
    schedule. Answer sheets received after the due date shall not be accepted.
    We strongly suggest that you retain a copy of your answer sheets.
    7) This assignment is valid from 1st July, 2020 to 30th June, 2021. If you have failed in this
    assignment or fail to submit it by June, 2021, then you need to get the assignment for the
    year 2021-22, and submit it as per the instructions given in the Programme Guide.
    8) You cannot fill the examination form for this course until you have submitted this
    assignment. For any queries, please contact: [email protected], [email protected]

    Course Code: BPHCT-131
    Assignment Code: BPHCT-131//TMA/2020-21
    Max. Marks: 100

    Note: Attempt all questions. The marks for each question are indicated against it.

    PART A
    1. a) Calculate the area of a triangle whose vertices are given by (3, −1, 2), (1, −1, 2)
    and (4, −2, 1). (5)

    b) Determine the unit tangent vector to the following curve at t = 1



    r = 2t 2ˆi + (t 3 − 4t ) ˆj + (5t − t 2 )kˆ (5)

    2. Solve the following ordinary differential equations:

    dy 
    a) + y cot x = ecos x for x = , y = −2 (10)
    dx 2

    d 2 y dy
    b) + +y =0 (5)
    dx 2 dx

    3. a) In a safety test, a car of mass 1000 kg is driven into a brick wall. Its bumper
    behaves like a spring (k = 5  106 Nm −1) and is compressed by a distance of
    3 cm as the car comes to rest. Determine the initial speed of the car. (5)

    b) A plane is flying with a constant speed along a straight line at an angle of 30
    with the horizontal. The weight of the plane is 100, 000 N and its engine provides
    a thrust of 120, 000 N in the direction of flight. Two additional forces are exerted
    on the plane: the lift force perpendicular to the plane’s wings, and the force due
    to air resistance opposite to the direction of motion. Draw the free-body diagram
    showing all forces on the plane. Determine the lift force and the force due to air
    resistance. (2+4+4)

    4. A child of mass 30 kg skates down from the top of a ramp having a constant slope of
    15. The child’s speed increases from 1.5 ms −1 to 3.0 ms −1 as she reaches the
    bottom of the ramp. A force of kinetic friction of magnitude 50 N opposes her
    motion. Draw the appropriate force diagram and determine the length of the ramp.
    Take g = 10 ms −2 . (3+7)

    PART B
    5. A wheel 2.0 m in diameter lies in the vertical plane and rotates about its central axis
    with a constant angular acceleration of 4.0 rads−2 . The wheel starts from rest at
    t = 0 and the radius vector of a point A on the wheel makes an angle of 60º with the
    horizontal at this instant. Calculate the angular speed of the wheel, the angular
    position of the point A and the total acceleration at t = 2.0 s . (5)

    6. Titan, a satellite of Saturn, has a mean orbital radius of 1.22109 m. The orbital
    period of Titan is 15.95 days. Hyperion, another satellite of Saturn, orbits at a mean
    radius of 1.48 109 m. Estimate the orbital period of Hyperion. (10)

    7. A steel ball A, of mass 20.0 kg moving with a speed of 2.0 ms −1 collides with
    another ball B of mass 10.0 kg which is initially at rest. After collision, A moves with
    a speed of 1.0 ms −1 at an angle of 30º with its original direction of motion. Determine
    the final velocity of B. (10)

    8. A simple harmonic oscillator has amplitude 10 cm and it completes 120 oscillations


    in 60 s. (i) Calculate its time period and angular frequency. (ii) If the initial phase is
    /2, write expressions for its displacement and velocity. (iii) Calculate the values of
    maximum velocity and acceleration. (2+4+4)

    9. For a damped harmonic oscillation, the equation of motion is

    d 2x dx
    m + + kx = 0
    dt 2 dt

    with m = 0.20 kg,  = 0.04 kgs −1 and k = 65 Nm −1 . Calculate (i) the period of
    motion, (ii) number of oscillations in which its amplitude will become half of its initial
    value, and (iii) the number of oscillations in which its mechanical energy will drop to
    half of its initial value. (2+4+4)

    10. The equation of transverse wave on a rope is

    y(x, t) = 7 sin (4.0t − 0.02x)

    where y and x are measured in cm and t is expressed in second. Calculate the


    maximum speed of a particle on the rope. (5)
