Question 95

In a study of fluid dynamics, the pressure PPP within a vessel at a specific depth hhh is modeled by the expression

(4+kh)5 (4 + kh)^5 (4+kh)5

where kkk is a positive constant. For small values of hhh, the pressure can be approximated by the binomial expansion

P(h)=A+Bh+Ch2+Dh3+⋯ P(h) = A + Bh + Ch^2 + Dh^3 + \cdots P(h)=A+Bh+Ch2+Dh3+⋯

where A,B,CA, B, CA,B,C and DDD are constants.

a.

Find the value of AAA.

[1]
b.

Given that B=2DB = 2DB=2D and k>0k > 0k>0,

Find:

(i) the value of kkk

(ii) the value of CCC
