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 Examiners 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.

B.2.1 Show that given integral is convergent and hence evaluate
B.2.2 Approximate the given integrand by using Maclaurins series
B.2.3 Plot linear quadratic , cubic, fourth degree polynomial and the integrand in the
interval (0,1), obtained by using Maclaurins series
B.2.4 Approximate the improper integral by using Maclaurins series and also calculate
the errors.

B.3. Consider an array = [1 , 2 , , ] of size 1 (Use x= rand(1,n) to generate an array of

random numbers of size 1 ). Write a Matlab script to:
B.3.1 Find the maximum of the array = [1 , 2 , , ] using for loop and conditional
statement. Execute the script for n=10, 20 and 30 and display the output.
B.3.2 Sort the elements of the array = [1 , 2 , , ] in an ascending order. Execute the
script for n=10, 20 and 30 and display the output.
B.3.3 Compare and conclude the results using the built-in functions max and sort.

B.4. Consider the truss as shown below and answer the following questions:

1 =100 N

B.4.1 Write a system of six linear equilibrium equations consisting of the six unknowns
1 , 2 , 3 , 2 , 2 and3 .
B.4.2 Solve the 6 6 linear system using row operations.
B.4.3 Write a Matlab function that accepts the coefficient matrix and the right hand side to
solve the linear system = . This function should also check for consistency and print
whether the linear system is consistent or not and if it consistent it should print whether
the solution is unique or infinitely many.
B.4.4 Interpret and conclude from the results
