f = yx

nf = x ny differentiating with respect to x f 1 f = ny = f ny x f x f x x = y ( f ny ) = y y ny y

1 + nyxyx 1 yx 1 ( x ny + 1) y Now x = 2, y = 1 = yx So 2 f =1 xy

29.

y + 2y + y = 0 D2 + 2D + 1 = 0

i.e. (D + 1) = 0,

D = 1, 1

So solution will be y= ( C1 + C2 ) e x Now given, y=0 at x=0 and y=0 at x=1 So we get C1 = C2 = 0 y = constant y ( 0.5) = 0 32.

Direction of heat flow is always normal to surface of constant temperature. So, for surface P ,

From energy conservation, heat rate at P = Heat rate at Q

Riser takes care of solidification/contraction in liquid state and phase transition. So volume of metal compensated from the riser = 3% + 4% = 7% Heat supplied by power source = Heat required melting efficiency transfer efficiency welding power = cross sectional area welding speed 10 .5.72103 = 5 10 V V = 14 mm / s
