Homework
Just a reminder that Chapter 7 HW problems and the special assignment on Beating, Fourier Analysis, and Lissajous Figures are due this week.
Also, I have been asked by a couple of people if there is lecture tomorrow (Wednesday. The answer is most emphatically yes. There is still a lot to learn, and in spite of the apparent confusion on the part of the weather, Spring Break doesn't start untill next week.

Homework: Week 3
The assigned problems from Chapter 3 are due this week.
Special Assignment #1, Dynamic Model of Disk Brake System for Automobiles is also due.
Hint for this assignment: When operating at very low pressures, fluid (such as brake fluid) is often reasonably considered incompressible. However, when operating at higher pressures (such as that developed in typical automobile brake systems), it is seen to have appreciable compressibity. This should be considered and incorporated into your model. Note also that gas (such as air) is considerably more compressible.

Homework:Week 2
The homework due this week is the remainder of the assigned problems from Chapter 2, including Prob 2-2h. Be sure to include representative illustations (FBD or control volume as appropriate) and all work.
Hint on Prob. 2-13: Be sure to carefully look at and understand the operation of the system before beginning to write equations. Use continuity applied to right chamber of the cylinder. What is the flow q out of this chamber?
