Assignment Split Up: Tue Apr 1 09:46:57 MDT 2008

I am splitting #25 up into four separate assignments. I will be looking at your stuff on these problems, and perhaps emailing you about difficulties and fixes.
Let's finish up this process by 5 PM, Monday, April 7.
This is a follow-up on Assignment #23. In preparing these, provide:

Your own diagram.
All your variables labeled on the diagram.
The "dynamic precursor" needs to be explicit, that is, what expression did you take the time derivative of in order to get the dynamic equation relating variables and time derivatives? Write it down.
Explicit time-derivative assignments with the proper sign: if, say, "39 ft²/min" is given, somewhere around the diagram should appear an assignment: dz/dt = -39
