QUIZ I
ME685A – APPLIED NUMERICAL METHODS

9th September 2020

Material density (units of kg/m2) over a square two dimensional region is distributed as

ρ ( x, y ) =1 + (( x − 1.5)2 + ( y − 1.5)2 ) 0 < x < 3; 0 < y < 3

Derive an analytical expression for the mass of the sheet-like object.


Divide the region into nine parts and estimate numerically the mass of the region.
Here, each sub-region may be taken to have a constant density that is evaluated at its
geometric center.
Determine % error in the numerical solution with respect to the exact.
