    Question 4: (6 Points)

    An unmanned submarine is equipped with temperature- and depth-measuring instruments and has
    radio equipment that can transmit the output readings of these instruments back to the surface. The
    submarine is initially floating on the surface of the sea with the instrument output readings in steady
    state. The depth-measuring instrument is approximately zero order and the temperature transducer first
    order with a time constant of 15 seconds. The water temperature on the sea surface, 𝑇0 , is 30°C and
    the temperature 𝑇𝑥 at a depth of 𝑥 meters is given by the relation: 𝑇𝑥 𝑇0 − 0.02𝑥.

    The submarine starts diving at time zero with a velocity of 0.6 meters/second. After a certain time, the
    transmitted temperate is 25 °C and the received temperature has an error of +1.5%.

    a) Calculate the received temperature. [0.5 point]


    b) Find the received temperature general formula as a function of time. [2 points]
    c) If the received temperature is 27 °C ± 2%, estimate the submarine travel time and depth.
    [2.5 points]
    d) What temperature and error in temperature does the submarine report at depth of 500 metres?
    [1 point]
