Mathematical Physics-I (IMSPH 101)

Tutorial 5.2
Unit-5: Numerical Analysis

A. Trapezoidal Rule

1. Evaluate 0¹ x² dx using the Trapezoidal Rule for h = 0.25.

2. Use
the Trapezoidal rule to estimate 1² (1/x) dx using four
equal intervals.

3. The following data are given:

X - 0123
Y - 1 3 7 13
Find 0³ y dx by the Trapezoidal Rule.

B. Simpson’s 1/3 Rule

4. Find 0¹ x² dx using Simpson’s 1/3 rule taking h = 0.5.

5. Using Simpson’s 1/3 rule, evaluate 0¹ 1/(1+x²) dx for h =


0.25.

(Compare with the true value tan-(1) = /4.)

6. Thedata below give the velocity of a car:


Time (s) – 02468
Velocity (m/s) -- 04862
Find the total distance travelled using Simpson’s 1/3 rule.

C. Simpson’s 3/8 Rule

7. Evaluate
0¹ x³ dx using Simpson’s 3/8 rule taking n = 3
sub-intervals.
8. Compute 1² 1/x² dx using Simpson’s 3/8 rule with 3
intervals.

D. Runge– Kutta Method


10. Use the Runge–Kutta 4th order method to find y (0.2) for
dy/dx = y - x² + 1, y (0) =0.5, h=0.1.

E. Concept Mix

13. Compare the results of Trapezoidal and Simpson’s 1/3


rules for 0¹ (1+x²) dx with h = 0.25.
