The students are expected to provide theoretical basis, flow chart, and programming source
code, and debugging process for the following problems.

1. The velocity of a falling parachutist is defined as the following:

Where the gravity g = 9.8 1m/s2. Compute the following:
a) For a parachutist with a drag coefficient of c = 15 kg/s and the velocity v = 36 m/s at t = 10s.
Compute the mass m of the parachutist using fixed point iteration and newton-raphson
methods with the relative error e = 0.1% or lower. Compare both methods in terms of the
number of iterations required.
b) If the mass of the parachutist m = 82kg, determine the drag coefficient c when the velocity
v = 36 m/s after 4 s free fall. Use the bisection and false position methods with the initial
guesses of c between 3 and 5 kg/s. Perform iteration until the relative error falls below 2%.
Compare both methods in terms of the number of iterations required.

2.One of the solution strategy on the numerical method can also use the linear equation
solution, for example the eigen value and eigen vector to solve the vibration problems. The
finite difference method can also be used to solve the partial differential equation using the
system of linear equation. You ara asked to create a programming code to solve a system of
linear equation below:






a) The program should provide OPTIONS for numerical method solutions:
OPTION A: Using Gauss Elimination
OPTION B: Using Gauss-Seidel
b) Input data can be formulated in the form of how many equations you will be solving and
the corresponding coefficients, for example: X1 = 2, X2=4 . . . Xn = 7
c) Validate your programming code by using the above system of linear of quations.
d) Please explain any assumption used in the solution method.

3. Solve the following problem over the interval from x = 0 to 5 using a step size of 0.5. The
initial conditions are y(0) = 4 and y’(0) = 0

a) Find the analytical solution

b) Solve nmerically with Euler Method
c) Solve numerically with Heun’s Method
d) Solve numerically with Fourth Order Runge-Kutta Method
e) Plot all solutions in the same graph.

4. The basic elastic differential equation of the elastic curve for a uniformly loaded beam is
given as







Where E = the modulus of elasticity and I = the moment of inertia. Solve for the
deflection of the beam using the finite difference approach with Dx = 2 m. The following
parameters values apply: E = 70 GPa, I = 800 m4, w = 1 kN/m, L = 10 m.

Compare your numerical results to the analytical solution:

Plot the analytical and numerical results in the same graph.


5. Use Liebmann’s method (Gauss-Seidel) to solve for the temperature of the heated plate in
this figure. Employ overrelaxation with a value of 1.5 for the weighting factor and iterate
to 𝜀" = 1%
