    1-029-ConeToCubeFlow-ModelingScenario
    An inverted right circular cone with a hole at the bottom is suspended above an open-topped cube which also has a hole in the center of the bottom. The cone is filled with water and we model water flow from cone to cube and out the bottom of the...

    1-055-WaterFallingInCone-ModelingScenario
    We offer an opportunity to model the height of a falling body of water in a right circular cone (funnel) and to estimate an appropriate parameter based on data collected from a video of the experiment found on YouTube.

    5-010-DNADegradation-ModelingScenario
    We ask students to use the system of first order linear differential equations given in a source paper and estimates of the data from laboratory procedures from a plot to estimate the parameters and complete the modeling process.

    2014-Brun-EtAl-An introduction to the mechanics of the lasso
    Here, we study the mechanics of the simplest rope trick, the Flat Loop, in which the rope is driven by the steady circular motion of the roper’s hand in a horizontal plane.

    1-140-LeakyBucket-ModelingScenario
    We seek to model the height of water in a cylindrical tank (bucket) in which water flows out the bottom of the tank through a small bore hole while we are pouring water into the tank at the top of the tank at a constant (or varying) rate.
