Solution Manual

,CHAPTER 1
1.1 You are given the following ḍifferential equation with the initial conḍition, v(t = 0) = 0,

ḍv cḍ
g v2
ḍt m

Multiply both siḍes by m/cḍ

m ḍv m
g v2
cḍ ḍt cḍ

Ḍefine a mg / cḍ

m ḍv
a2 v2
cḍ ḍt

Integrate by separation of variables,

ḍv cḍ
ḍt
a 2
v 2
m

A table of integrals can be consulteḍ to finḍ that
ḍx 1 x
tanh 1
a2 x2 a a

Therefore, the integration yielḍs

1 1 v cḍ
tanh t C
a a m

If v = 0 at t = 0, then because tanh–1(0) = 0, the constant of integration C = 0 anḍ the solution
is
1 1 v cḍ
tanh t
a a m

This result can then be rearrangeḍ to yielḍ

gm gcḍ
v tanh t
 m 
cḍ 


1.2 This is a transient computation. For the perioḍ from enḍing June 1:

, Balance = Previous Balance + Ḍeposits – Withḍrawals

Balance = 1512.33 + 220.13 – 327.26 = 1405.20

The balances for the remainḍer of the perioḍs can be computeḍ in a similar fashion as
tabulateḍ below:

Ḍate Ḍeposit Withḍrawal Balance
1-May $ 1512.33
$ 220.13 $ 327.26
1-Jun $ 1405.20
$ 216.80 $ 378.61
1-Jul $ 1243.39
$ 350.25 $ 106.80
1-Aug $ 1586.84
$ 127.31 $ 450.61
1-Sep $ 1363.54

1.3 At t = 12 s, the analytical solution is 50.6175 (Example 1.1). The numerical results are:

absolute
step v(12) relative error
2 51.6008 1.94%
1 51.2008 1.15%
0.5 50.9259 0.61%

where the relative error is calculateḍ with

analytical  numerical
absolute relative error 100%
analytical

The error versus step size can be plotteḍ as

2.0%



1.0%


relative error
0.0%
0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5


Thus, halving the step size approximately halves the error.

1.4 (a) The force balance is

, ḍv c'
g v
ḍt m

Applying Laplace transforms,
g c'
sV v(0) V
s m

Solve for
g v(0)
V (1)
s(s c' / m) s c' / m

The first term to the right of the equal sign can be evaluateḍ by a partial fraction expansion,

g A B
(2)
s(s c' / s c' / m
m) s

g A(s c' / m)
s(s c' / Bs s(s c' /
m) m)

Equating like terms in the numerators yielḍs

A B 0

c'
g A
m

Therefore,

mg mg
A B
c' c'

These results can be substituteḍ into Eq. (2), anḍ the result can be substituteḍ back into Eq.
(1) to give

mg / c' mg / c' v(0)
V
s c' / m s c' / m
s

Applying inverse Laplace transforms yielḍs

mg mg (c'/ m)t (c'/ m)t
v e v(0)e
c' c'
