Question 9:

A man stands on the roof of a tall tower and shoots an arrows ina horizontal direction; the arrow starts 45 m above the ground, with an initial velocity of 30 m/s. You may assume g=10 m/s2.

(i) What time elapses before the arrow strikes the ground.

(ii) How far from the base of the tower does the arrow strike the ground

(iii) What is the accurate angle betwwen the path of the arrow and the horizontal at the moment the arrow strikes the ground.

(iv) Now assume that there is air friction force in a direction opposite to the velocity of the arrow, and that it is an increasing function of the speed of the arrow. Reason qualitatively, without calculating, to decide whether air friction makes the angle of part (iii) large or smaller; give reasons. (hints: consider the extreme case where air friction is very large, so that it is the dominant force at all but very small speed).

Question 10:

In the 1970s electronic computer were built with valves (rather than transistors). Assume that each particular valve has a probability P=0.00002 of failing during the next hour. (assume that valve failures are independent events, and are independent of the length of past service of the valve)

(i) Find the probability Q that a particular valve operating correctly during the next hour.

(ii) If the computer contains 10,000 valves show that the probability Po of no valve failing during the next hour is 0.82, to two significant figures. (Hints: in the calculation use the first few terms of a binomial expansion rather than logarithm)

(iii) If we are to construct a computer containing 10,000 valves , with a probability of trouble-free operation for one hour at least as high as 0.99, estimate how small must be the probability P of failure of one valve during the next hour.

(iv) With P as in (i) what is the probability of exactly one valve failure during the next hour.
