Consider a water tank that is being filled with rainfall at the top and is drained through a small hole at the bottom. The change in volume can be modelled by considering the amount of water entering and leaving the tank (per unit of time) as follows dV dt - fin - fout. = Here volume of water in the tank V is in litres, flow rate in fin is in litres per hour, flow rate out fout is in litres per hour and time t is in hours. Initially, the tank contains 50L of water: V(0) = 50. (a) Assume the rainfall throughout the day is getting heavier, such that, fin(t) = 10 + t and that the tank is losing 10% of its volume of water per hour, such that, fout (V) = 0.1V. Check by direct substitution that the function V(t) = 10(t + 5e-0.1t) - satisfies the ODE and the initial condition. with time: (b) Now assume that the hole is slowly growing in size, so that the flow rate out increases fout (V, t) = 0.1(1+0.1t)V. Solve the ordinary differential equation for V(t) with this flow rate out, using either separation o variables, or the integrating factor method. Make sure to also include the initial condition.

Tsunami Waves and BreakwatersThis is a continuation of Exercise 16. Breakwaters affect wave height by reducing energy. See Figure 5.30. If a tsunami wave of height H in a channel of width W encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to a width w, then the height h of the wave beyond the breakwater is given by h=HR0.5, where R is the width ratio R=w/W. a. Suppose a wave of height 8 feet in a channel of width 5000feet encounters a breakwater that narrows the channel to 3000feet. What is the height of the wave beyond the breakwater? b. If a channel width is cut in half by a breakwater, what is the effect on wave height? 16. Height of Tsunami WavesWhen waves generated by tsunamis approach shore, the height of the waves generally increases. Understanding the factors that contribute to this increase can aid in controlling potential damage to areas at risk. Greens law tells how water depth affects the height of a tsunami wave. If a tsunami wave has height H at an ocean depth D, and the wave travels to a location with water depth d, then the new height h of the wave is given by h=HR0.25, where R is the water depth ratio given by R=D/d. a. Calculate the height of a tsunami wave in water 25feet deep if its height is 3feet at its point of origin in water 15,000feet deep. b. If water depth decreases by half, the depth ratio R is doubled. How is the height of the tsunami wave affected?
