Chapter 5, Problem 5SEP
Write a program for determining the stability of a rectangular block with a given length and height as the width varies. Call for input data for length, height, weight (or specific weight), and fluid specific weight. Vary the width in selected increments from small values to larger values, and compute the range of widths for which the metacentric height is positive, that is, for which the design would be stable. Plot a graph of metacentric height versus width.

In April 2010, the worst oil spill ever recorded occurred when an explosion and fire on the Deepwater Horizon offshore oil-drilling rig left 11 workers dead and began releasing oil into the Gulf of Mexico. One of the attempts to contain the spill involved pumping drilling mud into the well to balance the pressure of escaping oil against a column of fluid (the mud) having a density significantly higher than those of seawater and oil.In the following problems, you may assume that seawater has a specific gravity of 1.03 and that a hypothetical subsea wellhead is 7167 ft below the surface of the Gulf.

Problem #3 - Modeling, Mixing Problem
Two tanks are connected by pipes in parallel as shown in Figure 2. Tank 1 starts with 160 lb of
salt dissolved in 200 gal of water. Tank 2 starts with 100 gal of pure water. Using the diagram
below, solve for the particular solutions of salt concentration in each tank as a function of time.
Plot the solutions in Excel on the same plot. Note: some flow rates have been intentionally left
out of the diagram below; use the conservation of mass to determine those. As a thought
experiment, consider what negative eigenvalues imply. What would it mean if the eigenvalues
were positive instead (what would the math say)?

vi.)
vii.)
Use a conservation equation to develop your differential equation model (you
should end up with two ODEs to describe the change in salt in both tanks).
Write your system of ODEs in matrix form.
Set up the eigenvalue problem and then determine the eigenvalues.

For this, I need a volumetric measuring tank (graduated cylinder) and a stopwatch. I considered the volume of the measured tank as 15 gallons and a stopwatch with reaction time as 1/10th of a second (though resolution of 1/1000th of a second). What is the volume flow rate if it takes 5 minutes to fill a 15-gallon of tank? Determine the smallest division to be on the tank in order to estimate the volume flow rate within an accuracy of ± 0.05 gpm.arrow_forward
