[10M]


5.(b) Using Newton’s forward difference formula find the lowest degree polynomial \(u_x\) when it is given that \(u_1=1\), \(u_2=9\), \(u_3=25\), \(u_4=55\),\(u_5=105\).

[10M]


5.(c) For an incompressible fluid flow, two components of velocity \((u,v,w)\) are given by \(u=x^2+2y^2+3z^2\), \(v=x^2y-y^2z+zx\). Determine the third component \(w\) so that they satisfy the equation of continuity. Also, find the \(z-component\) of acceleration.

[10M]

Using the continuity equation in cartesian coordinates:

\(\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial v}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial w}{\partial z}=0\)
\(\implies 2 x+x^{2}-2 y z+\frac{\partial w}{\partial z}=0\)
\(\implies \quad \frac{\partial w}{\partial z}=2 y z-2 x-x^{2}\)
Integrating wrt \(z\), we get:
\(w=y z^{2}-2 x z-x^{2} z+f(x, y)\)

\(\implies\) The \(z\) component of acceleration:
\(\begin{aligned} a_{z} &=(q \cdot \nabla) w+\frac{\partial \omega}{\partial t} \\ &=u \frac{\partial w}{\partial x}+v\frac{\partial w}{\partial y}+w \frac{\partial \omega}{\partial z} \end{aligned}\)

Therefore,

\[\begin{aligned} a_{z} &=\left(x^{2}+2 y^{2}+3 z^{2}\right)\left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}-2 z-2 x z\right) \\ &+\left(x^{2} y-y^{2} z+x z\right)\left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}+z^{2}\right) \\ &+\left(y z^{2}-2 x z-x^{2} z+f(x, y)\right)\left(2 y z-2 z-x^{2}\right) \end{aligned}\]

5.(d)

\[\begin{array}{\vertc\vertc\vertc\vertc\vertc\vertc\vertc\vertc\vertc\vertc\vert}\hline {Time(Minutes)} & 2 & 4 & 6 & 8 & 10 & 12 & 14 & 16 & 18 & 20 \\ \hline {Speed(Km/h)} & 10 & 18 & 25 & 29 & 32 & 20 & 11 & 5 & 2 & 8.5 \\ \hline\end{array}\]

Starting from rest in the beginning, the speed(in Km.h) of a train at different times(in minutes) is given by the above table.

Using Simpson’s \(\dfrac{1}{3}\)rd rule, find the approximate distance travelled (in Km) in 20 minutes fro the beginning.

[15M]


6.(c) Suppose the Lagrangian of a mechanical system is given by \(L=\dfrac{1}{2}m(a \dot x^2+2b\dot x\dot y+c\dot y^2 )-\dfrac{1}{2}k(a x^2+2bxy+c y^2 )\),

where \(a\), \(b\), \(c(>0)\), \(k(>0)\) are constant and \(b^2\neq ac\). Write down the Lagrangian Equations of motion and identify the system.

[20M]


7.(a) Solve the partial differential equation:

\[(2D^2-5DD'+2D'^2)z=5sin(2x+y)+24(y-x)+e^{3x+4y}\]

where \(D\equiv \dfrac{\partial}{\partial x}\), \(D'\equiv \dfrac{\partial}{\partial y}\).

[15M]


7.(b) Find the values of the constant \(a,b,c\) such that the quadrature formula:

\(\int^h_o f(x) dx=h[af(o)+bf(\dfrac{h}{3})+cf(h)]\) is exact for polynomial of as high degree as possible, and hence find the order of the truncation error.

[15M]

7.(c) The Hamiltonian of a mechanical system is given by,

\(H=p_1q_1-aq^2_1+bq^2_2=p_2q_2\), where \(a\), \(b\) are constants. Solve the Hamiltonian equations and show that \(\dfrac{p_2-bq_2}{q_1}=constant\).

[20M]


8.(a) Simplify the boolean expression:

[15M]


8.(b) For a two-dimensional potential flow, the velocity potential is given by \(\phi=x^2y=xy^2+\dfrac{1}{3}(x^3-y^3)\). Determine the velocity components along the direction \(x\) and \(y\). Also, detrmine the stream function \(\psi\) and check whether \(\phi\) represents a possible case of flow or not.

[15M]

Let \(\vec{q}=u \hat{i}+v \hat{\jmath}\)
Then,
\(u=-\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial x}\)
\(\implies u=-\left(2 x y-y^{2}+x^{2}\right)\)
\(\implies u=y^{2}-x^{2}-2 x y\)

Also,
\(v=-\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial y}\)
\(\Rightarrow v=-\left(x^{2}-2 x y-y^{2}\right)\)
\(\implies v=y^{2}-x^{2}-2 x y\)
We know that \(\phi+i \psi\) is an analytic function and salisfies Cauchy Riemann equations.

So, \(\frac{\partial \psi}{\partial y}=u\) and \(\frac{\partial \psi}{\partial x}=v\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{\partial \psi}{\partial x}=y^{2}-x^{2}+2 x y\)
Integrating wrt \(x\):
\(\psi=x y^{2}-\frac{x^{3}}{3}+x^{2} y+f(y)\)

Now, \(\frac{\partial \psi}{\partial y}=2 x y+x^{2}+f^{\prime}(y)\), and
\(\frac{\partial \psi}{\partial y}=-u\)

\(\Rightarrow x^{2}+2 x y+f^{\prime}(y)=x^{2}+2 x y-y^{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(y)=-y^{2}\)
\(\frac{df}{d y}=-y^{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow f=\frac{-y^{3}}{3}+c\)

So,
\(\psi=x y^{2}-\frac{\left(x^{3}+y^{3}\right)}{3}+x^{2} y+c\)
\(\psi=0\) at origin \(\implies c=0\)

So, \(\psi=x y^{2}+x^{2} y-\frac{\left(x^{3}+y^{3}\right)}{3}\)

Checking possible flow:
Since\(\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial y}{\partial y}=-2 x-2 y+2 y+2 x=0\)
\(\implies\) Equation of continuity is satisfied,
\(\implies\) It is a possible flow.


8.(c) A thin annulus occupies the region \(0<a\leq r\leq b\), \(0\leq \theta \leq 2\pi\). The faces are insulated. Along the inner edge the temperature is maintained at \(0^{\circ}\), while along the outer egde the temperature is held at \(T=Kcos\dfrac{\theta}{2}\), where \(K\) is a constant. Determine the temperature distribution in the annulus.
