Please note:
1. Documental evidence for all the components/parts of the assessment such as the reports,
photographs, laboratory exam / tool tests are required to be attached to the assignment report
in a proper order.
2. The First Examiner is required to mark the comments in RED ink and the Second Examiner’s
comments should be in GREEN ink.
3. The marks for all the questions of the assignment have to be written only in the Component –
CET B: Assignment table.
4. If the variation between the marks awarded by the first examiner and the second examiner lies
within +/- 3 marks, then the marks allotted by the first examiner is considered to be final. If the
variation is more than +/- 3 marks then both the examiners should resolve the issue in
consultation with the Chairman BoE.

Preamble

The aim of the course is to provide an understanding of differential and integral calculus of one and
several variable functions. The course introduces students to the basic concepts in limits, continuity
and differentiability of functions of one and several variables. Students are taught the concepts of
series expansion for functions of one and two variable, fundamental theorem of calculus, applications
of integration, improper integrals and parametric curves.

Part -A (10 marks)

A mechanism propels a particle along a straight line. It is designed so that the displacement of the
1
particle at time t from an initial point ‘O’ on the line is given by the formula 𝑠(𝑡) = 2 (𝑡 2 + 5𝑡 sin 𝑡).
The mechanism works perfectly until time 𝑡 = 𝜋 when an unexpected malfunction occurs. From then
the particle moves with constant velocity that was attained at 𝑡 = 𝜋.
𝜋 3𝜋
A.1 Compute velocity and acceleration at 𝑡 = 2 and 𝑡 = 2
.
A.2 Plot the graph of displacement curve.
A.3 Show that the particle comes to rest at least once before attaining uniform velocity.
A.4 Conclude and comment on the results.

B.1.1. Show that the equation 𝑡 2 −7𝑡+6 + 𝑡 3 +𝑡−1 = 0 has at least one solution in the interval (-2,2),

where 𝑘1 and 𝑘2 are positive numbers. Taking 𝑘1 = 1 and 𝑘2 = 2, obtain the particular
solution of the equation in the interval (−2, 2).

B.2.1. A number 𝑝 is called a fixed point of a function 𝑓 if 𝑓(𝑝) = 𝑝. Prove that if 𝑓 ′ (𝑥) ≠ 1 for all
real numbers, then 𝑓 has at most one fixed point.
B.2.2. Prove that the equation 𝑓(𝑥) = 4𝑥 3 + 3𝑥 2 − 90𝑥 + 𝑐 has at most one real root in[−1,1].

B.4.2. A paraglider flying at 12 m/s at an altitude of 200m accidentally loses his glider and starts
falling along the trajectory given by the equation 𝑦 = 256 − 𝑥 2 /25, until he crashes to the
ground. Here 𝑥 represents the horizontal distance travelled in meters and 𝑦 represents the
height above the ground.
B.4.2.1. Compute the distance travelled by the paraglider from the time he loses his glider
until he crashes to the ground.
B.4.2.2. Plot the graph of the trajectory travelled by the glider from the beginning to the time
he crashes to the ground.
