countered (unidirectional flow or parallel flow). The planer walls and the fluids are initially at rest. Lower plate moves to left and upper plate to right. Let the fluids be an oil, where kinematic viscosity (ν) = 2.17 x 10-4m2/s and the distance between both plate (h) is 10 mm. U0 = 0.4 m/s I need to find the governing equation, boundary conditions, initial conditions and to derive velocity distribution in steady state.
Also, Use FTCS explicit method to calculate the velocity distribution as a function of time by implementing these governing equation in Matlab

4.Fox News recently reported the results of a public opinion poll on supporting Trump that asked:
“Since he became the president,
...
Since he became the president, did President Trump act with the transparency and the integrity
that you expect from a president?” 675 voters responded the poll and 351 responded “YES.”
Assume that 40% of the U.S. population supports Trump.
a. Define a binary random variable, Y, for supporting Trump (Y=1) vs. not (Y=0).
Calculate the population mean (????????) and variance (????????
2
) for supporting Trump.
b. Calculate the sample mean ????̅ and the sample standard deviation of ????̅ (????????̅ ) for the poll.
c. Calculate the standard error of ????̅ and construct a 95% confidence interval from the
poll using ????̅ and its sample standard error.
d. Conduct a two-sided hypothesis test at 5% significance level to determine whether
40% of the U.S. population supports Trump. State the null and the alternative
hypotheses, calculate the test statistics and the associated p-value, and conclude. Is
the Fox News survey reliable? Why? Why Not?
e. Suppose that you wanted to design a survey that had a margin of error of at most 1%.
That is: the difference between the upper bound and the lower bound of the
confidence interval should be a maximum of 2 percentage points. For example, for
????̅ = 0.52 you are aiming for the 95 % CI to be [0.51 0.53].
How large should n be if the survey uses simple random sampling?

5.The Sydney Harbour Bridge roadway is 504m long. At a distance of 108.5m from each pylon, there is a vertical
...
vertical strut extending from the lower arch to the roadway (as shown in the image). Here the lower arch is 80m above sea level and the upper arch is 49m above the roadway. At the vertices, the lower arch is 118m above sea level and the upper arch is 73m above the roadway.
Find the quadratic equations which describe the parabolas of the lower arch in:
vertex form, y=a(x-h)^2+k;
intercept form, y=a(x-α)(x-β)
general form, y=ax^2+bx+c
The lower arch intersects the roadway 181.5m from the vertex. Calculate how much higher is the upper arch than the lower at the middle of the bridge?
Using technology, determine the total length of all 19 pairs of equally-spaced, vertical struts between the lower arch and the roadway.

x0) being impossible to find so it can be dropped. My lecture notes also say f(x) = f(x0) + integral of f'(t)dt with upper bound x and lower bound x0. I'm just confused as to which is the tangent line approximation because they seem to be different equations. If the integral is evaluated on the 2nd one it gives f(x)-f(x0) but the 2nd term for the first equation (dropping R1(x;x0) gives xf'(x0)-x0f'(x0) which seems to be a different term to me. So I'm wondering which is the tangent line equation (or if the tangent line equation has more than 1 unique form) or how the second one equals the first if they are equal.
