ME 9 Mechanical Engineering Analysis Eam # Practice Problems Solutions. e u 5sin() with u(=)= We may rearrange this equation to e u 5sin() and note that it is not separable, there is no variable transformation, but since it is linear we can use the Integrating Factor Method. Hence we need to find F and G, so we may transform the equation to the form d F()u G() where e F ep ds ep Ei() where Ei is the Eponential Integral Function. Then sin() sin() G F ep Ei() Then our equation becomes d sin() ep Ei() u ep Ei() which is in separate and integrate form. Separating sin() dep Ei() u ep Ei() Integrating sin() ep Ei() u ep Ei() C Unfortunately, the integral over t does not eist in analytical form, so our final solution is sin() C u ep Ei() ep Ei() ep Ei()

2 ME 9 Mechanical Engineering Analysis u. 7u u with u(=0) = We can rearrange this equation to u u 7u which is clearly separable, so we may use the Separate and Integrate Method. Separating u u 7u Integrating u u 7u lnu 7/ C 6 Probably a good place to apply the initial condition ln() 7/ (0) C 6 ln/ C 6 Now solving for u u 7/ ep 6C 6C 7/ u ep Our final solution becomes u ep ln(/) 7/. ln() 8 with u(=) = 0 We can rearrange this equation to 8 ln() which is clearly separable, so we may use the Separate and Integrate Method.

3 ME 9 Mechanical Engineering Analysis Applying the initial condition () ln() u( ) 0 () C Our final solution is ln u C C u. 9u with u(=) = The equation is clearly not separable. However, if we rearrange it by dividing through by u u 9 it should then be obvious that we can use the Variable Transformation Method, where = u/ Applying the transformation 9 We have shown d Substituting we have d 9 Rearranging d 8 which is in separable form. Now separating d 8 And integrating d ln(c) 8 tanh / ln(c) Solving for tanh ln(c) or u tanh ln(c) Applying the condition u( ) () tanh ln(c())

4 ME 9 Mechanical Engineering Analysis Solving for C tanh C ep (.75) / 5. cos()u sin()u / 9ln() with u(=) = This equation is not separable, there does not seem to be an appropriate variable transformation, and since it is nonlinear we cannot use an integrating factor. Let s check to see if it is eact. We have / / N(,u) cos()u and M(,u) sin()u 9ln() Then N / M sin()u and sin()u u So the equation is eact and we can use the Eact Equation Method. We start with f (u) g() N M to find f and g. Substituting for M and N / / f (u) g() cos()u sin()u 9ln() Integrating / / f (u) g() u cos() u cos() ln() f (u) g() ln() So that f (u) 0 g() ln() Substituting into M(,u) f (u) C / u Now rearranging cos() ln() 0 C / u cos() C ln() and solving for u C ln() u cos() Applying the initial condition / C () ln() u( ) cos(()) / C cos() /

Applying the transformation cos( ) We have shown d Substituting we have d cos( ) Rearranging d cos( ) which is in separable form. Now separating d cos( ) And integrating d ln(c) cos( ) Unfortunately the integral is not analytic, so we must stop at this point. e dt e 7. 7cos() with T(=0) = 6 T T This equation is not separable, there does not seem to be an appropriate variable transformation, and since it is nonlinear we cannot use an integrating factor. Let s check to see if it is eact. We have e e N(,T) and M(,T) 7cos() T T 5

6 ME 9 Mechanical Engineering Analysis Then N e M e and T T T So the equation is eact and we can use the Eact Equation Method. We start with f (T) g() NdT M to find f and g.

7 ME 9 Mechanical Engineering Analysis which is clearly separable, so we may use the Separate and Integrate Method. Separating 8 e sin() dy cos() Integrating 8 e sin() dy cos() 8 e sin() y C cos() Unfortunately the integral cannot be found analytically, so we have gone as far as we can go. 9. sin()u 5 with u(=) = 0 We may rearrange this equation to sin()u 5 and note that it is not separable, there is no variable transformation, but since it is linear we can use the Integrating Factor Method. Hence we need to find F and G, so we may transform the equation to the form d F()u G() where sin() ((sin()) ) F ep sin() where Ei is the Eponential Integral Function. Then sin() ((sin()) ) G F5 5 Then our equation becomes d sin() ((sin()) ) sin() ((sin()) ) u 5 which is in separate and integrate form.
