Logistic growth in India The population of India was 435 million in 1960 (t = 0) and 487 million in 1965 (t = 5). The projected population for 2050 is 1.57 billion.
a. Assume that the population increased exponentially between 1960 and 1965, and use the populations in these years to determine the natural growth rate in a logistic model.
b. Use the solution of the logistic equation and the 2050 projected population to determine the carrying capacity.
c. Based on the values of r and K found in parts (a) and (b), write the logistic growth function for India’s population (measured in millions of people).
d. In approximately what year does the population of India first exceed 2 billion people?
e. Discuss some possible shortcomings of this model. Why might the carrying capacity be either greater than or less than the value predicted by the model?

A beam, 12 m long, is to be simply supported at 2m from each end and to carry a U.d.l of 30kN/m together with a 30 KN point load at the right-hand end. For ease of transportation the beam is to be jointed in two places, one joint being Situated 5 m from the left-hand end. What load (to the nearest KN) must be applied to the left-hand end to ensure that there is no B.M. at the joint (i.e. the joint is to be a point of contraflexure)? What will then be the best position on the beam for the other joint? Determine the position and magnitude of the maximum B.M. present on the beam.
