Consider a pendulum of length \(L\) meters swinging only under the influence of gravity. Suppose the pendulum starts swinging with an initial displacement of \(\theta_{0}\) radians (see figure). The period (time to complete one full cycle) is given by $$ T=\frac{4}{\omega} \int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \frac{d \varphi}{\sqrt{1-k^{2} \sin ^{2} \varphi}} $$ where \(\omega^{2}=g / L, g \approx 9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\) is the acceleration due to gravity, and \(k^{2}=\sin ^{2}\left(\theta_{0} / 2\right) .\) Assume \(L=9.8 \mathrm{m},\) which means \(\omega=1 \mathrm{s}^{-1}.\)
An open cylindrical tank initially filled with water drains through a hole in the bottom of the tank according to Torricelli's Law (see figure). If \(h(t)\) is the depth of water in the tank for \(t \geq 0,\) then Torricelli's Law implies \(h^{\prime}(t)=2 k \sqrt{h}\), where \(k\) is a constant that includes the acceleration due to gravity, the radius of the tank, and the radius of the drain. Assume that the initial depth of the water is \(h(0)=H\). a. Find the general solution of the equation. b. Find the solution in the case that \(k=0.1\) and \(H=0.5 \mathrm{m}\). c. In general, how long does it take the tank to drain in terms of \(k\) and \(H ?\)
\(\pi<\frac{22}{7}\) One of the earliest approximations to \(\pi\) is \(\frac{22}{7} .\) Verify that \(0<\int_{0}^{1} \frac{x^{4}(1-x)^{4}}{1+x^{2}} d x=\frac{22}{7}-\pi .\) Why can you conclude that \(\pi<\frac{22}{7} ?\)
Solve the following problems using the method of your choice. $$w^{\prime}(t)=2 t \cos ^{2} w, w(0)=\pi / 4$$
Compare the errors in the Midpoint and Trapezoid Rules with \(n=4,8,16,\) and 32 subintervals when they are applied to the following integrals (with their exact values given). \(\int_{0}^{1}\left(8 x^{7}-7 x^{8}\right) d x=\frac{2}{9}\)
