Question # 1Assuming the rain falling vertically, express the catch of a gauge inclined 15° from thevertical as a percentage of the catch of a gauge installed vertically.Question # 2A 3-hour storm occured at a place and the precipitation in the neighboring rain-gagestations P, Q and R were measured as 3.8, 4.1 and 4.5 cm respectively. The precipitationin the neighboring station S could not be measured since the rain gauge was damaged.The normal annual precipitation in the four stations P, Q, R and S were 45, 48, 53 and 50cm, respectively. Estimate the storm precipitation at station 'S'.

Given, Angle θ = 15∘ As the shape of gauge is circle and area is calculated as πr2

Answered: Assuming the rain falling vertically,…

Consider a water tank that is being filled with rainfall at the top and is drained through a small hole atthe bottom. The change in volume can be modelled by considering the amount of water entering andleaving the tank (per unit of time) as followsdVdt= fin − fout.Here volume of water in the tank V is in litres, flow rate in fin is in litres per hour, flow rate out fout isin litres per hour and time t is in hours. Initially, the tank contains 50L of water: V (0) = 50.(a) Assume the rainfall throughout the day is getting heavier, such that, fin(t) = 10 + t andthat the tank is losing 10% of its volume of water per hour, such that, fout(V ) = 0.1V . Check bydirect substitution that the functionV (t) = 10(t + 5e−0.1t)satisfies the ODE and the initial condition.Now assume that the hole is slowly growing in size, so that the flow rate out increaseswith time:fout(V, t) = 0.1(1 + 0.1t)V.Solve the ordinary differential equation for V (t) with this flow rate out, using either separation…
