Unit Learning Outcomes LO4: Examine how differential and integral calculus can be used to solve engineering problems
Assignment Brief and Guidance Scenario: You work as a technical analyst for a large publisher of engineering text books. One of their well- known authors has set a number of further problems in her latest draft engineering text, aimed at the level four engineering market. She wishes to set these further problems throughout the text and intends to provide the worked solutions on a companion website for the new book. The author has asked you to provide these worked solutions. The further problems are given in the following tasks: - Activity Task 1:
Differentiate each of the following voltage functions with respect to time and hence determine the ‘rate of change’ for each of the functions when time (t) is 5 seconds.
a) 𝑣𝑣 = (𝑡𝑡2 + 6)2
b) 𝑣𝑣 = (3𝑡𝑡3 − 4𝑡𝑡 + 6)3
c) 𝑣𝑣 = 𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑒(2𝑡𝑡)
d) 𝑣𝑣 = 4𝑒𝑒−0.5𝑡𝑡
e) 𝑣𝑣 = sin(2𝑡𝑡3 + 4𝑡𝑡 − 2)
f) 𝑣𝑣 = cos(3𝑡𝑡4 − 5𝑡𝑡 + 4) Task 2: PART 1 For the circuit shown below, assuming zero charge on the capacitor at t = 0, the current flowing may be quantified as…
t RCEi e
R
−
=
Integrate this equation with respect to t and hence find the charge stored in the capacitor one second after the switch is closed.

PART 2 The current (𝑖𝑖𝐿𝐿) through a 10 mH inductor (L) has a relationship with time (t) as follows;
𝑖𝑖𝐿𝐿 = 1 𝐿𝐿 � cos(100𝑡𝑡) 𝑑𝑑𝑡𝑡
Determine the inductor current when the time is 0.9 seconds. Task 3: PART 1 Determine the area under the following exponential growth curve between 2 seconds and 4 seconds;
𝑦𝑦 = �(1 − 𝑒𝑒−𝑡𝑡) 4
2
𝑑𝑑𝑡𝑡
PART 2 Determine the area under the following exponential decay curve between 2 seconds and 4 seconds;
𝑦𝑦 = �(𝑒𝑒−𝑡𝑡) 4
2
𝑑𝑑𝑡𝑡
Task 4: PART 1 Locate the co-ordinates of the turning point for the following function and determine whether it is a maxima or minima;
𝑦𝑦 = 3𝑥𝑥2 − 5𝑥𝑥 PART 2 Find the maxima and minima values for the function;
𝑦𝑦 = 𝑥𝑥3 − 4𝑥𝑥 + 6
