    Misc. Hydrostatics problem in a water vessel

    I don't actually know what you mean by your last paragraph. How would you would the small bleed tube operate as a level sensor? Can you please explain how something like that might work?

    Misc. Hydrostatics problem in a water vessel

    I am trying to design a water vessel system that maintains it's water level as it is consumed. In item 1. It's a simple water barometer, where the height of water in the column can be supported by atmospheric pressure until 10.34. In item 2. There are two columns that are open to atmosphere...

    Calculating Power at source from Intensity at distance R

    Homework Statement An enclosed chamber with sound absorbing walls has a 2.0 m × 1.0 m opening for an outside window. A loudspeaker is located outdoors, 46 m away and facing the window. The intensity level of the sound entering the window space from the loudspeaker is 42 dB. Assume the acoustic...

    Richardson Extrapolation with 3 steps?

    Thank you! So you would run the central difference formula with 2, 1, 0.5. then for we would use f(2) and f(1) , and then again with f(1), f(0.5)? Maybe what confuses me is when they say "calculate the TRE of the last estimate", its just the second of two estimates calculated using Is it...

    Differential Equations System Solutions

    Okay, I work this out to y_1=1/4 and y_2=1/2... which seems to fit in the equation... but I am still not really sure why the coefficients for the e^(-4t) don't seem to match the solution

    High order differential equations: undetermined coefficients

    right... 3 roots... so r^3-r=0 r=0, r=1, and... r=-1 -1-(-1)=0 I always get stuck on the stupidest mistakes. I really appreciate it! thanks
