The measured viscosity and its corresponding temperature are tabulated in Table Q1(a). Table Q1(a) T (°C) ~ V(Nsim’) iT 160 55 180 5 = 200 35 220 2 240 The researcher had proposed a model of the effect of the temperature on the viscosity of hydraulic liquid; vrt=b where V is the dynamic viscosity of liquid, T is the temperature, and a and b are the constant. i) Linearise the given model using an appropriate method. (CO1,PO2) (C3) (7 marks) ji) Determine the value of a and b constants based on the data given in Table Q1(a) using a graph paper. (CO1,P02) (C3) (10 marks) b) The nodal displacements of a portal frame, u,v,w and y, can be found by solving the equilibrium equations in matrix form of [A] {D} = {L} as follows; 17041 37.95 113.95 -37.95] (« 37.95 69.22 -37.95 -12.65|) ¥ 113.84 -37.95 120.91 45.02 |) -3795 -1265 45.02 19.72 Ly. where [A] is the stiffness matrix in kN/mm, {D} is the nodal displacement matrix in mm and {L} is the load vector in KN. Using the Gauss Elimination Method, solve all nodal displacements of the portal frame if the loads P+ ~1000 kN.

The equation of the motion is given by dv mayan where v(0) = 2.5 m/s and m is the mass of the wagon in kilogram and c is the buffer damping in Ns/m. Using a suitable ordinary differential equation numerical method, determine the velocity of the wagon at t = 2.5 seconds if m = 5000 kg, c = 15000 Ns/m. Use the time steps of 0.5 s.
