MODULE TITLE: Engineering Mathematics 2 DURATION OF EXAMINATION:


 hours

LECTURER: Dr. E. Gath PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL MARKS: 100%

EXTERNAL EXAMINER: Prof. S. McKee

INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES: Answer question 1 and any other three questions

from questions 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. To obtain maximum marks you must show all your work
clearly and in detail.
Standard mathematical tables are provided by the invigilators. Under no circumstances
should you use your own tables or be in possession of any written material other than that
provided by the invigilators.
Non-programmable, non-graphical calculators that have been approved by the lecturer
are permitted. There will be a spot check of calculators during the exam.
You must obey the examination rules of the University. Any breaches of these rules (and
in particular any attempt at cheating) will result in disciplinary proceedings. For a first
offence this can result in a year’s suspension from the University.

is

$
! m/s. We assume that the dashpot

exerts a damping force  N where is a constant. We may also subject
