Suppose the snowball in Problem 21 melts so that the rate of change in its diameter is proportional to its surface area. Using the same given data, determine when its diameter will be 2 in. Mathematically speaking, when will the snowball disappear?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The diameter of the snowball will be 2 in. 0.56 minutes and the snowball will not be disappeared.

Step by step solution

01

Analyzing the given statement

Given that the rate of change of the diameter of a snowball is directly proportional to its surface area. Let the diameter of the snowball be D and its surface area be S.

Therefore, dDdtS. Given that the initial diameter of the snowball is 4 in., which becomes 3 in. after 30 min. We have to find the time after which its diameter will be 2 in. and the time after which the snowball will disappear.

02

Determining the differential equation using the given proportionality relation

Given,

dDdtSdDdt=kS(1)

where, k is the constant of proportionality. Now as the snowball is a sphere and we know that The formula of the diameter of the sphere =2r

And Formula of the surface area of sphere =4r2

Where, r is the radius of the sphere (here, snowball).

Thus, from equation (1),

ddt2r=k4r22drdt=k4r2drdt=2kr22

Now one will use this differential equation to solve the question.

03

Step 3: Finding the time after which the diameter of the snowball will be 2 in.

Separating the variables in equation (2),

1r2dr=2kdt

Integrating both sides,

-1r=2kt+C3

Given that initially the diameter of the snowball = 4 in.

So, the radius of snowball, r = 2 in.

When t=0, r=2

Therefore, from (3)

C=-12-1r=2kt-12

Hence,

r=21-2kt4

Now as given that diameter = 3 in. at t=30 min and taking =3.14,

Hence, from (4)

r =21 - 2ktk = - 1.769

Now equation (4) becomes,

r=21+1.769t5

When diameter = 2 in.

i.e., radius, r = 1 in.

So, from (5)

r=21+1.769tt=0.56min

Accordingly, the diameter of the snowball will be 2 in. 0.56 minutes.

04

Step 4: Finding the time after which the snowball will disappear

The snowball will disappear, when diameter = 0 in.

Therefore radius, r = 0 in.

From equation (5),

0=21+1.769t

So, we see that we can鈥檛 find the value there.

Consequently, the snowball will not be disappeared.

A cup of hot coffee initially at 95掳C cools to 80掳C in 5 min while sitting in a room of temperature 21掳C. Using just Newton鈥檚 law of cooling, determine when the temperature of the coffee will be a nice 50掳C.

Two friends sit down to talk and enjoy a cup of coffee. When the coffee is served, the impatient friend immediately adds a teaspoon of cream to his coffee. The relaxed friend waits 5 min before adding a teaspoon of cream (which has been kept at a constant temperature). The two now begin to drink their coffee. Who has the hotter coffee? Assume that the cream is cooler than the air and has the same heat capacity per unit volume as the coffee, and that Newton鈥檚 law of cooling governs the heat transfer.

Early Monday morning, the temperature in the lecture hall has fallen to 40F, the same as the temperature outside. At7:00a.m., the janitor turns on the furnace with the thermostat set at70F. The time constant for the building is1k=2hrand that for the building along with its heating system is1k1=12hr. Assuming that the outside temperature remains constant, what will be the temperature inside the lecture hall at8:00a.m.? When will the temperature inside the hall reach65F?

In Problems 23鈥27, assume that the rate of decay of a radioactive substance is proportional to the amount of the substance present. The half-life of a radioactive substance is the time it takes for one-half of the substance to disintegrate. Carbon dating is often used to determine the age of a fossil. For example, a humanoid skull was found in a cave in South Africa along with the remains of a campfire. Archaeologists believe the age of the skull to be the same age as the campfire. It is determined that only 2% of the original amount of carbon-14 remains in the burnt wood of the campfire. Estimate the age of the skull if the half-life of carbon-14 is about 5600 years.

Local versus Global Error. In deriving formula (4) for Euler鈥檚 method, a rectangle was used to approximate the area under a curve (see Figure 3.14). With

\({\bf{g(t) = f(t,f(t))}}\), this approximation can be written as \(\int\limits_{{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}}^{{{\bf{x}}_{{\bf{n + 1}}}}} {{\bf{g(t)dt}} \approx {\bf{hg(}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}{\bf{)}}} \)where \({\bf{h = }}{{\bf{x}}_{{\bf{n + 1}}}}{\bf{ - }}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}\) .

  1. Show that if g has a continuous derivative that is bounded in absolute value by B, then the rectangle approximation has error\(\left( {\bf{O}} \right){{\bf{h}}^{\bf{2}}}\); that is, for some constant M, \(\left| {\int\limits_{{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}}^{{{\bf{x}}_{{\bf{n + 1}}}}} {{\bf{g(t)dt - hg(}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}{\bf{)}}} } \right| \le {\bf{M}}{{\bf{h}}^{\bf{2}}}\).This is called the local truncation error of the scheme. [Hint: Write \(\int\limits_{{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}}^{{{\bf{x}}_{{\bf{n + 1}}}}} {{\bf{g(t)dt - hg(}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}{\bf{)}}} {\bf{ = }}\int\limits_{{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}}^{{{\bf{x}}_{{\bf{n + 1}}}}} {\left[ {{\bf{g(t)dt - g(}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}{\bf{)}}} \right]{\bf{dt}}} \). Next, using the mean value theorem, show that\(\left| {{\bf{g(t)dt - g(}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}{\bf{)}}} \right| \le {\bf{B}}\left| {{\bf{t - }}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}} \right|\) . Then integrate to obtain the error bound\(\left( {\frac{{\bf{B}}}{{\bf{2}}}} \right){{\bf{h}}^{\bf{2}}}\).]
  2. In applying Euler鈥檚 method, local truncation errors occur in each step of the process and are propagated throughout the further computations. Show that the sum of the local truncation errors in part (a) that arise after n steps is (O)h. This is the global error, which is the same as the[ss1] [m2] convergence rate of Euler鈥檚 method.
