Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

The position of a Jet fighter on an aircraft carrier’s runway is,

t,s 0 0.52 1.04 1.75 2.37 3.25 3.83
x,m 153 185 210 249 261 271 273

Formula Used:

Second-order Lagrange interpolating polynomial.

f(t)=f(ti1)2ttiti+1(ti1ti)(ti1ti+1)+f(ti)2tti1ti+1(titi1)(titi+1)+f(ti+1)2tti1ti(ti+1ti1)(ti+1ti)…… (1)

Here, t is the value at which the derivative is to be estimated.

Calculation:

Consider the function f(x) to be position (x) as shown in table above. So, f(x) will represent the acceleration (v).

Apply second-order Lagrange interpolating polynomial to each set of three adjacent points for calculation of velocities at different points.

Calculate f(0).

Substitute t=0 and i=1 in equation(1).

f(0)=f(0)2(0)t1t2(t0t1)(t0t2)+f(t1)2(0)t0t2(t1t0)(t1t2)+f(t2)2(0)t0t1(t2t0)(t2t1)

Substitute the value of function from above table.

f(0)=153(2(0)0.521.04(00.52)(01.04))+185(2(0)01.04(0.520)(0.521.04))+210(2(0)00.52(1.040)(1.040.52))=68.26923

Calculate f(0.52).

Substitute t=0.52 and i=2 in equation(1).

f(0.52)=f(0.52)2(0.52)t2t3(t1t2)(t1t3)+f(t2)2(0.52)t1t3(t2t1)(t2t3)+f(t3)2(0.52)t1t2(t3t1)(t3t2)

Substitute the value of function from above table.

f(0.52)=153(2(0.52)0.521.04(00.52)(01.04))+185(2(0.52)01.04(0.520)(0.521.04))+210(2(0.52)00.52(1.040)(1.040.52))=54.80769

Calculate f(3.25).

Substitute t=3.25 and i=6 in equation(1).

f(3.25)=f(3.25)2(3.25)t6t7(t5t6)(t5t7)+f(t6)2(3.25)t6t7(t6t5)(t6t7)+f(t7)2(3.25)t5t6(t7t6)(t7t5)

Substitute the value of function from above table.

Calculate f(3.83).

Substitute t=3.83 and i=7 in equation(1).
