7 An engineer is modelling the motion of a particle \(P\) of mass 0.5 kg in a wind tunnel. \(P\) is modelled as travelling in a straight line. The point \(O\) is a fixed point within the wind tunnel. The displacement of \(P\) from \(O\) at time \(t\) seconds is \(x\) metres, for \(t \geqslant 0\). You are given that \(x \geqslant 0\) for all \(t \geqslant 0\) and that \(P\) does not reach the end of the wind tunnel.
If \(t \geqslant 0\), then \(P\) is subject to three forces which are modelled in the following way.
  • The first force has a magnitude of \(5 ( t + 1 ) \cosh t \mathrm {~N}\) and acts in the positive \(x\)-direction.
  • The second force has a magnitude of \(0.5 x \mathrm {~N}\) and acts towards \(O\).
  • The third force has a magnitude of \(\left| \frac { d x } { d t } \right| \mathrm { N }\) and acts in the direction of motion of the particle.
      1. Show that the Maclaurin series for \(\mathrm { f } ( t )\) up to and including the term in \(t\) is \(6 - 5 t\).
      2. Use your answer to part (a)(ii) to show that the term in \(t ^ { 2 }\) in the Maclaurin series for \(\mathrm { f } ( t )\) is \(- 3 t ^ { 2 }\).
      3. By differentiating the differential equation in part (a) with respect to \(t\), show that the term in \(t ^ { 3 }\) in the Maclaurin series for \(\mathrm { f } ( t )\) is \(0.5 t ^ { 3 }\). You are given that the complete Maclaurin series for the function f is valid for all values of \(t \geqslant 0\).
        After 0.25 seconds \(P\) has travelled 1.43 m towards the origin.
      1. By using the Maclaurin series for \(\mathrm { f } ( t )\) up to and including the term in \(t ^ { 3 }\), evaluate the suitability of the model for determining the displacement of \(P\) from \(O\) when \(t = 0.25\).
      2. Explain why it might not be sensible to use the Maclaurin series for \(\mathrm { f } ( t )\) up to and including the term in \(t ^ { 3 }\) to evaluate the suitability of the model for determining the displacement of \(P\) from \(O\) when \(t = 10\).

  1. Show that \(\sin \theta = \frac { 2 } { 11 } \sqrt { 22 }\). The triangle \(P Q R\) lies in the plane \(\Pi\).
  2. Determine an equation for \(\Pi\), giving your answer in the form \(\mathrm { ax } + \mathrm { by } + \mathrm { cz } = \mathrm { d }\), where \(a , b , c\) and \(d\) are integers. The point \(S\) has coordinates \(( 5,3 , - 1 )\).
  3. By finding the shortest distance between \(S\) and the plane \(\Pi\), show that the volume of the tetrahedron \(P Q R S\) is \(\frac { 14 } { 3 }\).
    [0pt] [The volume of a tetrahedron is \(\frac { 1 } { 3 } \times\) area of base × perpendicular height] The tetrahedron \(P Q R S\) is transformed to the tetrahedron \(\mathrm { P } ^ { \prime } \mathrm { Q } ^ { \prime } \mathrm { R } ^ { \prime } \mathrm { S } ^ { \prime }\) by a rotation about the \(y\)-axis.
    The \(x\)-coordinate of \(S ^ { \prime }\) is \(2 \sqrt { 2 }\).
