Problem 1: Leaking Tank

The tank in Figure 1 with top radius of 1 m, bottom radius of 0.5 m, and
height of 2 m, is initially filled with water. Water drains through a square hole
of side 3 cm in the bottom. Create a program that will determine the time
required to drain the tank using:

i. Analytical Method
ii. Euler’s Method
iii. Midpoint Method
iv. 4th order Runge-Kutta Method
Figure 1 (not to scale)
Consider different stepsizes (0.1, 0.01, 0.001) and compare the results of the
three numerical methods with the analytical value using a graph.

Problem 2: Coupled Spring-Mass System

x1(t) x2(t)
k1 k2
m2=1kg
F(t)=2sint
m2=2kg

k3

𝑥!
The response 𝒙 𝑡 = 𝑥 of the undamped spring-mass system subjected to the load shown is the solution
!
to the second-order ordinary differential equation

𝑚! 0 𝑥!!! 𝑘 + 𝑘! −𝑘! 𝑥! 0
!! + ! 𝑥! = 2 sin 𝑡
0 𝑚! 𝑥! −𝑘! 𝑘! + 𝑘!

If 𝑘! = 𝑘! = 1, and 𝑘! = 2

a. Compute the response up to 5 seconds using the 4th-order Runge-Kutta method with constant step
size, 𝒉 = 𝟎. 𝟐𝟓. Assume zero initial condition, i.e., 𝒙 0 = 𝟎 and 𝒙! 0 = 𝟎.
b. Plot the displacement of the masses vs. time
c. The analytical solution of the problem depends on the natural frequencies 𝝎 and the mode shapes ∅
which are the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix
!!
𝑚! 0 𝑘! + 𝑘! −𝑘!
𝑨=
0 𝑚! −𝑘! 𝑘! + 𝑘!

Compute the natural frequencies 𝝎 (eigenvalues) and the mode shapes ∅ (eigenvectors) of matrix A
using shifted-inverse power method. Show your detailed solution.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

Submit the following on or before 10 November 2017, 12NN at ICE Junior Faculty Room (3rd Floor)
1. CODES. Submit the executable file and source code with the following file names (on a CD):
GroupName_MP_P1.c and GroupName_MP_P2.c for the source codes and
GroupName_MP_P1.exe and GroupName_MP_P2.exe for the executable files.

2. EXECUTIVE REPORT that should contain

a. Title Page
b. Abstract (maximum of 150 words)
c. Introduction
- Problem description, objectives, expected output, theoretical background
d. Program Implementation
- Pseudo-code, flowchart, and programming algorithms
e. Results and Discussions
- Results in tables, required graphs, analysis of results, problems encountered
f. Conclusions and Recommendations
g. References
h. Appendices

3. PEER ASSESSMENT by each group member (see Appendix A)

The grading system for this Machine Problem is as follows:

Grade = Peer Assessment * (50% paper + 50% codes)

NOTES:
1. Please accomplish the Peer Assessment form individually. Print the form on a scratch letter-sized paper,
fold it into fourths, staple it and sign. Then submit it to your representative. The representative then put
in a long brown envelope the following requirements:
a. CD containing the codes and soft copy of executive report
b. Hard copy of executive report
c. Individual peer review sheets (one from each group member)
2. Please label the envelope with:
CE 27 MP
Section
Group Name
Group Members

3. Finally, secure the contents of the envelope by sealing it with tape. All members of the group then sign
their names (using a marker) on the sealed portion of the envelope.

IMPORTANT:
5 POINTS WILL BE DEDUCTED FROM THE TOTAL MP GRADE FOR EVERY 10 MINUTES OF
LATE SUBMISSION. INCOMPLETE SUBMISSION = LATE SUBMISSION!
