Q1. In a steady flow through a nozzle, the flow velocity on the nozzle axis is given by v = u0(1 + 3x/L), where x is the distance along the axis of the nozzle from its inlet plane and L is the length of the nozzle. The time required for a fluid particle on the axis to travel from the inlet to the exit plane of the nozzle is

Q5. The Taylor series expansion of 3 sin x + 2 cos x is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Given the function 
f(x) = 3 sin x + 2 cos x
Now, we have the Taylor’s expansion for the trigonometric function as

Substituting it in equation (1), we get

Q8. For a function g (t), it is given that  for any real value 𝜔. If  is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Given the relations

The Fourier transformation of f (t) is defined as

Now, from equation (2), we have

where u (t) is unit step function. Taking Fourier transform both the sides, we have
