For the problem of finding the period of oscillation of a simple pendulum, obtain a formulation in the case when air resistance is proportional to the square of the velocity. Find a solution for this formulation.

The motion of a simple pendulum is described by
\frac{d^{2}\theta }{dt^{2}} + \frac{g}{1}\theta = 0
Find a solution of the above problem in the following two situations.
i) pendulum being released from a point with angular distance \frac{\pi }{4} and initial velocity zero.
ii) the bob of the pendulum is at the equilibrium position and the initial velocity is \frac{\omega }{2}.

A particle moves from an initial velocity u at a constant acceleration f. Find an expression for the distance covered in time t using dimensional analysis.

In a perfectly competitive market, the supply function S(p) and demand function D(p) are given as follows:

S(p) = -\frac{p^2 + 17}{4}; D(p) = - p + 5  , where p is the price:
i) Find the equilibrium prices
ii) Using Walrasian stability condition, determine whether the equilibrium prices are stable.

Consider the following first-order ODE formulation \frac{dn(t)}{dx} = a{L- n(t)}, n(t0) = n0
 .
Associate the variables {t, n(t)} and the parameters {a, L} to a physical system so that the above formulation becomes a mathematical model for population changes.
