(b) The current i in an LR circuit at any instant is found by solving the differential equation
dtdi^ +3i=25sin4t i(0)=^0 Solve this differential equation. Express the steady state current as a single periodic function of the form Rsin(4t-α). Note: sin(A-B)=sinAcosB-cosAsinB (11 marks)
(c) Find the maximum/minimum value of V=x^2 -4xy+y^3 +4y+2 (7 marks)
(b) Variables r and θ are related to variables x and y by the formulae
θ= (^)
x arctan y r= x 2 +y^2
Find the partial derivatives of θ and r with respect to x and y. (i) If stress T is an arbitrary function in r and θ write the relationships between the partial derivatives of T with respect to x and y and those with respect to r and θ. (ii) Estimate the value of r where x=3±0.05 and y=4±0.10 (8 marks)
(c) In constructing an open rectangular tank with a square base it costs €12m-2^ to construct the base and €6m-2^ to construct all other sides. If the tank has a volume of 8m^3 find the dimensions of the tank that can be constructed so that this cost is to be minimised. Also find this minimum cost. You are required to use a Lagrangian Multiplier. No marks will be awarded if any other method is used. (7 marks)
