Tutorial
Worksheet
• This
worksheet
is
a
revision
of
topics
that
form
assumed
knowledge
going
into
the
course.
You
should
complete
the
following
exercises
during
the
week
1
tutorial,
before
you
attempt
questions
in
assignment
1.
• If
you
have
difficulties
with
any
of
these
questions,
be
sure
to
review
the
relevant
material
from
prior
course
in
differential
and
integral
calculus,
geometry,
linear
algebra,
statics
and
programming
in
MATLAB.
The
tutors
can
provide
advice
on
what
you
might
need
to
review.
• You
should
maintain
a
copy
of
your
completed
worksheet
(in
either
hardcopy
or
electronic
form)
for
the
first
few
weeks
of
the
course.
Tutors
may
request
to
see
that
you
have
attempted
these
questions
before
they
assist
you
with
issues
you
have
with
assignment
questions.
Question
1:
Differential
and
Integral
Calculus
!"(!)
a. Compute
the
derivatives
!"
to
the
following
functions:
i. 𝑓 𝑥 = 2𝑥 ! + 𝑥 !
ii. 𝑓 𝑥 = sin 𝑥 𝑒 !!!
iii. 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑒 !"# (!!)
b. Compute
the
following
anti-‐derivatives
and
integrals:
i. (𝑥 + 12𝑥 ! )𝑑𝑥
ii. [6cos (𝑥 ! )𝑥]𝑑𝑥
! !
iii. ! (!)𝑑𝑥
!"
c. Use
separation
of
variables
to
solve
the
value
of
y
at
x
=
3
if
!" = −5𝑦
and
at
x
=
0,
y
=
6.
Question
2:
Geometry,
Vectors
a. P,Q
are
vectors
P
=
5i
+
7j
+
8k
and
Q
=
2i
–
8j
+
5k.
Compute:
i. R
=
P
+
Q
ii. P.Q
iii. P×Q
b. From
the
following
figure,
if
θ
=
31o,
find
the
distance
between
point
B
and
D
Question
3:
Free
Body
Diagrams
and
Statics
A
steel
bar
is
connected
to
a
wall
using
a
pin
joint
and
supporting
cable.
The
angle
between
the
bar
and
supporting
cable
is
θ
=
25o
and
the
mass
of
the
bar
is
475kg.
Assume
the
bar
has
a
consistent
cross-‐section
and
density.
a. Draw
a
free
body
diagram
of
forces
acting
on
the
bar.
b. Determine
the
magnitude
of
the
tension
in
the
supporting
cable
and
force
acting
on
the
pin
joint
(remember,
the
bar
is
in
equilibrium,
so
the
sum
of
the
forces
in
the
horizontal
and
vertical
directions
will
be
zero,
as
will
the
sum
of
the
moments
about
any
fixed
point).
Question
4:
MATLAB
programming
a. Produce
a
MATLAB
script
that
performs
the
following
tasks:
i. Plots
a
graph
of
the
function
𝑓 𝑥 = 4 sin 𝑥 + 3cos (2𝑥)
in
blue
and
𝑓 𝑥 = sin 0.1𝑥 ! + cos (2!.!! )
in
red
on
the
same
graph
for
values
of
x
from
x
=
0
to
x
=
10.
ii. Use
a
for
loop
to
determine
the
sum
of
all
odd
integers
from
1
to
N,
for
any
given
N,
excluding
integers
that
are
prime.
iii. Use
an
Euler
integration
method
to
approximate
the
integral:
!.!
𝑒 !!.!! 10.8 + sin 𝑥 + cos (−5.4𝑥 !.! ) 𝑑𝑥
!.!
