Use the plot to graphically estimate when and where the jumper would hit the ground if the chute failed to open.arrow_forwardQ1: Consider a surface of revolution generated by a Bezier curve defined by the four control points P(0,0,0), (2,1,2), P₂ (3,3,0) P, (2,2,3) respectively, rotating about the X-axis.

- A tube 1.30 m long is closed at one end. A stretched wire is placed near the open end. The wire is 0.357 m long and has a mass of 9.50 g. It is fixed at both ends and oscillates in its fundamental mode. By resonance, it sets the air column in the tube into oscillation at that column's fundamental frequency. Assume that the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s, find (a) that frequency and (b) the tension in the wire.

Heat conduction in a square plate Three sides of a rectangular plate (@ = 5 m, b = 4 m) are kept at a temperature of 0 C and one side is kept at a temperature C, as shown in the figure. Determine and plot the ; temperature distribution T(x, y) in the plate. The temperature distribution, T(x, y) in the plate can be determined by solving the two-dimensional heat equation. For the given boundary conditions T(x, y) can be expressed analytically by a Fourier series (Erwin Kreyszig, Advanced Engineering Mathematics, John Wiley and Sons, 1993):arrow_forward
