QUESTION 1 An engineer is given 40 m of material to line the perimeters of a square and a circular swimming pools. She is at liberty to propose the combination (of square or/and circular pools) which will maximise the area of swimming surface. What should be her recommendation? (15 marks) QUESTION 2 3 (0) Hepress 7p 028 pastial fraction 5 (b) Hence find the sum of the series eal 12°23 34° 43 7 (© Show that the remainder after n terms is ~~. Hence show that about 200 in terms are needed for two decimal place accuracy. Compare the remainder with the value of the 200% term and so show that in computation using series of positive terms, the value of the first omitted term may be a completely unreliable estimate of the error. (15 marks) QUESTION 3 5 (a) _ Differentiate tan (2/a) © (b) The components of the velocities of a certain flow system are w=-(Q/2n) [>> J+ By +c ( TES y Al=yx 1+ Dx+E GP+y’) 7 () Calculate a value of A consistent with continuous flow & (i) Sketch the streamlines for this flow system, assuming B = 5 (© Show how to make a quick estimate to two decimal places of (4.98)' —G.03)" (25 marks) Page | of 2MATHEMATICS FOR CIVIL ENGINEERS - CIVE 1011Y(1) QUESTION 4 A solid is formed below the plane z= 1+ y , bounded by the coordinate planes and the vertical plane 2x + y =2, 6@) Sketch this volume bounded by the solid in the first quadrant. 7(b) Determine the volume of the solid, using a triple integral 7 (©) This solid has a density (mass per unit volume) given by x+z. Write an equation to express the mass of an elemental volume. Hence find the mass of the solid. (20 marks) QUESTION 5 5 (a) _ Show that the equation (3xy? + 2y) dx + (2x¢y + x) dy = 0 is not exact but that 5 (b)__ it becomes exact after multiplication by x 5 (© Thus solve the equation. 10 (@) A block of wood is floating in water; it is depressed slightly and then released to I oscillate up and down, Assume that the top and bottom of the block are parallel plates which remain horizontal during the oscillations and that the sides of the block are vertical. Show that the period of the motion (neglecting friction) is ae , where ht is the vertical height of the part of the block under water when & it is floating at rest.
