2- In ocean engineering, the equation for a reflected standing wave in a harbor is given by:
where = 16, t = 12, v = 48. Find the value of x if (h= 0.4 h0) using the false-position method.
The initial guesses are xl = 10 and xu = 20. Assuming that εs = 2%.
3- While modeling the kinematic equations for a four-bar system, you came up with the
following set of nonlinear equations:
0.45 cos ( x )−0.28 cos ( y )=0.275
0.45 sin ( x )−0.28 sin ( y )=−0.13
Using the Newton-Raphson method, compute the values of x and y. Use the initial values of
x=0.05 and y=0.65 and conduct 2 iterations only.
4- Solve the following system of nonlinear equations using the Newton-Raphson method:
2
x + y sin (x)=2
y 2 + x sin ( y)=4
Use x 0=1.5 and y 0=2 and perform two iterations only.

where g = 9.8 m/s2. For a parachutist with a drag coefficient c = 14 kg/s, compute the mass m so that the
velocity is v = 35 m/s att = 7 s. Use the Newton-Raphson method to determine m to a level of ε s = 0.5%.
Employ initial guess of m o=62.
7- The ratio of the hourly diffuse to daily diffuse solar radiation r d is given by the following
equation:
π (cos (ω)−cos ( ω s ) )
rd = ( )
24 sin ( ωs ) −w s cos( ωs )
If ω = 0.4, using the false-position method, find the hour angle w s at which the r d is equal to 0.102 in the
period located [0.5-2]. Make three iterations and estimate the percentage approximate relative error for
each iteration |ϵ a|.
8- The bar shown in the figure is tapered linearly from end A to end B and has a solid
circular cross section. The diameter at the smaller end of the bar is dA =0.025 m and the
length is L= 0.3 m. The bar is made of steel with shear modulus of elasticity G=82 GPa
=82x109Pa. If the torque T=80 N.m and the allowable angle of twist ∅ is 0.005 rad. Use
secant method to find the allowable diameter dB at the larger end of the bar, using
d Ai−1=0.03 and d Ai =0.05 ?
