Reconsider Prob. 8-78. In order to drain the tank faster, a pump is installed near the tank exit as in Fig. 8-79. Determine how much pump power input is necessary to establish an average water velocity of 4 m/s when the tank is full at z = 2 In. Also, assuming the discharge velocity to remain constant, estimate the time required to drain the tank. Someone suggests that it makes no difference whether the pump is located at the begining or at the end of the pipe, and that the performance will be the same in either, case, but another person argues that placing the pump near the end of the pipe may cause cavitation. The water temperature is 30CC. so the water vapor pressure is P1. 4.236 kPa 0.43 m H 2 O, and the system is located at sea level. Investigate if there is the possibility of cavitation and if we should be concerned about the location of the plump.

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:

Plot solutions for first two, three and four non-zero terms as well as the Simulink solution on the same graph

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.
