Hints for Exercise 12

Problem 1

Solving for the unknown pressures in Equation 10

In Part 2 of Problem 1 you’re asked to solve for the term \((p_{1} - p_{0}) / L\) in Equation 10. To help you know whether or not you’ve done this properly, I’ve given a table of the values you should get below.

\(n\) \((p_{1} - p_{0}) / L\)
2 4215743440.23
3 8029987.50521
4 14339.2634022
5 24.5815944037

Problem 2

Solving for the unknown term in Equation 19

Similar to Problem 2, you’re again asked to solve for an unknown term in Equation 19, in this case \(\gamma_{x}\). As above, you have a table of values below to help you check whether or not you’ve properly solved your equation for \(\gamma_{x}\).

\(n\) \(\gamma_{x}\)
1 8.33314255626e+12
2 51263351337.2
3 327038924.001
4 1955974.42585
