Attempt any four questions. All questions carry equal marks. All symbols have usual meaning.
1. Determine the roots of the function
f ( x)  12  21x  18 x 2  2.75 x 3 ,
using bisection method, with a stopping criterion of 1% and initial guess values
xl  1 and xu  0.

2. Using Newton-Raphson method for nonlinear systems, solve the nonlinear systems
x 2  y 2  4 , x 2  y 2  1.
The true solutions are easily determined to be ( 2.5 , 1.5 ). As an initial guess, use
( x0 , y0 )  (1.6, 1.2).

3. From the data in the following table find by Lagrange’s Interpolation formulas the
value of y when x  102 and the value of x when y  13.5.
x 93 96.2 100 104.2 108.7
y 11.38 12.80 14.70 17.07 19.91

4. The upward velocity of a rocket is given at three different times in the following table
Time, t (s ) 5 8 12
Velocity, v (s ) 106.8 177.2 279.2

The velocity data is approximated by a polynomial as


v(t )  a1t 2  a2t  a3 , 5  t  12.
Using the Gauss-Seidel method, find the values of a1 , a2 and a3 . Assume an initial
guess of the solution as (a1 , a2 , a3 )  (1, 2, 5) and conduct two iterations.

5. Consider the second order initial value problem


d2y
 4 y  0,
dt 2
dy
with y (0)  1 and (0)  0. Using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method, solve the
dt
initial value problem from t  0 to 4 with step size h  0.1.
6. An 11 m beam is subjected to a load, and the shear force follows the equation
V ( x)  5  0.25 x 2 ,
where V is the shear force, x is the length in distance (metre) along the beam. We
know that V  dM / dx, and M is the bending moment. Integration yields the
relationship
x
M  M 0   Vdx.
0

If M 0 is zero and x  11, calculate M using Simpson’s 1/3 rule by taking 1 m


increment.
