(4 marks) ‘The measured length of part steel deck bridge structure and the whole bridge length are 13.75 meters and 1202.50 meters, respectively. Ifthe value in construction drawing are 14,00 meters and 1200.00 meters, respectively, compute the absolute error and percentage of relative error in two decimal places for both measurement. (5 marks) You are working for MNA Company that makes floats for ABC commodes. The floating ball has a specific gravity of 0.6 and has a radius (R) of 5.5 em. Find the depth to which the ball is submerged when floating in water. The equation that gives the depth x to which the ball is submerged under water is given by: x3 - 0.165x? + 3,993x10% Use the bisection method of finding roots of equations to find the depth x to which the ball is submerged under water. Conduct three iterations to estimate the root of the above equation (Hint: 0 4 by using 2 ~ point Gauss quadrature.

Choose the appropriate Simpson's rule to determine the cross sectional area of the stream. (S marks) () A lake has an initial concentration of heavy metal of 1 mg/l. The concentration of the heavy metal will either increase or decrease as water enters the lake. The differential ‘equation that governs the concentration C of the heavy metal as a function of time (in week) is given by: 2y'+3y=e* Using the Runge-Kutta 4" order method, determine the concentration of the pollutant after 1 week. Take a step size of 0.2 week with initial 0 week.
