Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 6RQ
- 6. Neglect the weight of the drum in the following problem. A sealed cylindrical drum has a diameter of 6 feet and a length of 12 feet. The drum is filled exactly half-full of a liquid having a density of 90 pounds-mass per cubic foot. It is resting on its side at the bottom of a 10-foot-deep drainage channel that is empty. Suppose a flash flood suddenly raises the water level in the channel to a depth of 10 feet. Determine if the drum will float. The density of water is 62 pounds-mass per cubic foot.

As a spring is heated, its spring constant decreases. Suppose the spring is heated and then cooled so that the
spring constant at time t is k(t) = t sin + N/m. If the mass-spring system has mass m = 2 kg and a
damping constant b = 1 N-sec/m with initial conditions x(0) = 6 m and x'(0) = -5 m/sec and it is
subjected to the harmonic external force f (t) = 100 cos 3t N. Find at least the first four nonzero terms in
a power series expansion about t = 0, i.e. Maclaurin series expansion, for the displacement:

Two springs and two masses are attached in a straight vertical line as shown in Figure Q3. The system is set
in motion by holding the mass m₂ at its equilibrium position and pushing the mass m₁ downwards of its
equilibrium position a distance 2 m and then releasing both masses. if m₁ = m² = 1 kg, k₁ = 3 N/m and
k₂ = 2 N/m.

Two large tanks, each holding 100 L of liquid, are interconnected by pipes, with the liquid flowing from tank
A into tank B at a rate of 3 L/min and from B into A at a rate of 1 L/min (see Figure Q1). The liquid inside each
tank is kept well stirred. A brine solution with a concentration of 0.2 kg/L of salt flows into tank A at a rate of
6 L/min. The diluted solution flows out of the system from tank A at 4 L/min and from tank B at 2 L/min. If,
initially, tank A contains pure water and tank B contains 20 kg of salt.
