To the Student
This collection of solved problems covers analytical techniques for solving differential equations. It is meant to
be used as both a supplement for traditional courses in differential equations and a reference book for engineers
and scientists interested in particular applications. The only prerequisite for understanding the material in this
book is calculus.
The material within each chapter and the ordering of chapters are standard. The book begins with methods
for solving first-order differential equations and continues through linear differential equations. In this latter
category we include the methods of variation of parameters and undetermined coefficients, Laplace transforms,
matrix methods, and boundary-value problems. Much of the emphasis is on second-order equations, but
extensions to higher-order equations are also demonstrated.
Two chapters are devoted exclusively to applications, so readers interested in a particular type can go directly
to the appropriate section. Problems in these chapters are cross-referenced to solution procedures in previous
chapters. By utilizing this referencing system, readers can limit themselves to just those techniques that have
value within a particular application.

I Let R(t) denote the amount of radium present at time t. The decomposition rate is dR/dt, which is
proportional to R. Thus, dR/dt = kR, where k is a constant of proportionality.
1.53 Bacteria are placed in a nutrient solution at time t = and allowed to multiply. Under conditions of plentiful
food and space, the bacteria population grows at a rate proportional to the population. Derive a differential
equation for the approximate number of bacteria present at any time t.
I Let N(t) denote the number of bacteria present in the nutrient solution at time t. The growth rate is dN/dt,
which is proportional to N. Thus, dN/dt = kN, where k is a constant of proportionality.
1.54 One hundred grams of cane sugar in water is being converted into dextrose at a rate which is proportional
to the unconverted amount. Find a differential equation expressing the rate of conversion after t minutes.
I Let q denote the number of grams converted in f minutes. Then 100 — q is the number of grams still
unconverted, and the rate of conversion is given by dq/dt = /c(100 — q), k being the constant of proportionality.
1.55 Bacteria are placed in a nutrient solution at time t = and allowed to multiply. Food is plentiful but space is
limited, so ultimately the bacteria population will stabilize at a constant level M. Derive a differential equation
for the approximate number of bacteria present at any time t if it is known that the growth rate of the bacteria is
jointly proportional to both the number of bacteria present and the difference between M and the current
population.

f Denote the number of bacteria present in the nutrient solution at time t by N{t). The growth rate is dN/dt.
Since this rate is jointly proportional to N and (M — N), we have dN/dt = kN(M — N), where k is a
constant of proportionality.
1.56 Express the following proposition as a differential equation: the population P of a city increases at a rate which
is jointly proportional to the current population and the difference between 200,000 and the current population.
f Let P(t) denote the current population; then the rate of increase is dP/dt. Since this rate is jointly
proportional to both P and (200,000 - P), we have dP/dt = /cP(200,000 - P), where k is a constant of
proportionality.
1.57 A bank pays interest to depositors at the rate of r percent per annum, compounded continuously. Derive a
differential equation for the amount of money in an existing account at any time t, assuming no future
withdrawals or additional deposits.
I Let P(t) denote the amount in the account at time t. Then dP/dt, the change in P, is the interest received,
which is the interest rate (converted to a decimal) times the current amount. Thus, dP/dt = (r/l00)P.
1.58 When ethyl acetate in dilute aqueous solution is heated in the presence of a small amount of acid, it decomposes
according to the equation
CH3 COOC2 H 5 + H2 CH3COOH + C2 H5 OH
(Ethyl acetate) (water) (acetic acid) (ethyl alcohol)
Since this reaction takes place in dilute solution, the quantity of water present is so great that the loss of the
small amount which combines with the ethyl acetate produces no appreciable change in the total amount.
Hence, of the reacting substances only the ethyl acetate suffers a measurable change in concentration. A chemical
reaction of this sort, in which the concentration of only one reacting substance changes, is called a first-order
reaction. It is a law of physical chemistry that the rate at which a substance is used up in a first-order reaction
is proportional to the amount of that substance instantaneously present. Find an expression for the
concentration of ethyl acetate at any time f.
I Let Q be the amount of ethyl acetate present in the solution at time t, let V be the (constant) amount of
water in which it is dissolved, and let C be the instantaneous concentration of the ethyl acetate. Then Q — CV,
and, from the law governing first-order reactions,
or finally dC/dt = -kC.
PROBLEMS INVOLVING NEWTON'S LAW OF COOLING
1.59 Newton's law of cooling states that the rate at which a hot body cools is proportional to the difference in
temperature between the body and the (cooler) surrounding medium. Derive a differential equation for the
temperature of a hot body as a function of time if it is placed in a bath which is held at a constant temperature
of 32 °F.
I Denote the temperature of the hot body at time t by T{t), and assume it is placed in the bath at t — 0. The
rate at which the body cools is dT/dt. Since this is proportional to (T — 32), we have dT/dt = k(T — 32),
where k is a constant of proportionality.

t = 0. The rate at which the rod cools is dT/dt. By Newton's law of cooling (see Problem 1.59), this rate is
proportional to (T — 24). Therefore, dT/dt — k(T — 24). where k is a constant of proportionality.
PROBLEMS INVOLVING NEWTON'S SECOND LAW OF MOTION
1.61 Newton's second law of motion states that the time rate of change of the momentum of a body is equal to the
net force acting on that body. Derive the differential equation governing the motion of a body when the only
force acting on it is the force of gravity.

SPRING PROBLEMS
1.69 Hooke's law states that the restoring force of a spring is proportional to the displacement of the spring from its
normal length. Use Hooke's law along with Newton's second law of motion to derive the differential equation
governing the motion of the following system: A spring with a mass m attached to its lower end is suspended
vertically from a mounting and allowed to come to rest in an equilibrium position. The system is then set in
motion by releasing the mass with an initial velocity v at a distance x below its equilibrium position and
simultaneously applying to the mass an external force F(t) in the downward direction.
f For convenience, we choose the downward direction as the positive direction and take the origin to be the
center of gravity of the mass in the equilibrium position (see Fig. 1.1). Furthermore, we assume that air resistance
is present and is proportional to the velocity of the mass. Thus, at any time r, there are three forces acting on
the system: (1) F(r), measured in the positive direction; (2) a restoring force given by Hooke's law as Fs
= —kx,
where k > is a constant of proportionality known as the spring constant; and (3) a force due to air resistance
given by Fa
— —ax, where a > is a constant of proportionality. Note that the restoring force Fs
always
acts in a direction that will tend to return the system to the equilibrium position: if the mass is below the
equilibrium position, then x is positive and —kx is negative; whereas if the mass is above the equilibrium position,
then x is negative and —kx is positive. Also note that because a > the force Fa due to air resistance acts in
the direction opposite the velocity and thus tends to retard, or damp, the motion of the mass.
It now follows from Newton's second law that mx = —kx — ax + F(t), or

Since the system starts at t — with an initial velocity r and from an initial position x , we have along with
(7) the initial conditions x(0) = x and x(0) = v .
The force of gravity does not explicitly appear in (/), but it is present nonetheless. We automatically
compensated for this force by measuring distance from the equilibrium position of the spring. If one wishes to
exhibit gravity explicitly, then distance must be measured from the bottom end of the natural length of the spring.

I The vibrations are free if no external force is applied to the spring, and they are undamped if air resistance

1.71 A steel ball weighing 128 lb is suspended from a spring, whereupon the spring stretches 2 ft from its natural
length. What is the value of the spring constant?
/ The applied force responsible for the 2-ft displacement is the weight of the ball, 128 lb. Thus, F = — 128 lb.
Hooke's law then gives - 128 = -k(2), or k = 64 lb/ft.
1.72 A 32-lb weight is attached to a spring, stretching it 8 ft from its natural length. What is the value of the spring
constant?
f The applied force responsible for the 8-ft displacement is the 32-lb weight. At equilibrium, this force is
balanced by the restoring force of the spring, so by Hooke's law — 32 = — /c(8), or k = 4 lb/ft.
1.73 A mass of 1/4 slug is attached to a spring, whereupon the spring stretches 1.28 ft from its natural length. What
is the value of spring constant?
f The applied force responsible for the 1.28-ft displacement is the weight of the attached body, which is
(l/4)(32) = 8 lb. At equilibrium, this force is balanced by the restoring force of the spring, so by Hooke's law
-8 = -fc(1.28), or k = 6.25 lb/ft.
1.74 A 10-kg mass is attached to a spring, stretching it 0.7 m from its natural length. What is the value of the spring
constant?
I The applied force responsible for the 0.7-m displacement is the weight of the attached body, which is
10(9.8) = 9.8 N. At equilibrium, this force is balanced by the restoring force of the spring, so by Hooke's law
-98 = k{0.1), from which k = 140 N/m.
1.75 A steel ball weighing 128 lb is suspended from a spring, whereupon the spring stretches 2 ft from its natural

Derive a differential equation governing the subsequent vibrations of the spring if there is no air resistance.
f This is an example of free, undamped motion. The spring constant was determined in Problem 1.71 to be
k = 64 lb/ft; the weight of the ball is mg — 128 lb, so m — 128/32 = 4 slugs. With these values, the result
of Problem 1.70 becomes x + (64/4)x = 0, or x -I- 16x = 0. In addition, we have the initial conditions
x(0) = — 1/2 ft (the minus sign is required because the ball is initially displaced above the equilibrium position,
which is in the negative direction) and x(0) = 0.

Derive a differential equation governing the subsequent vibrations of the spring if the air offers negligible

I This is an example of free, undamped motion. The spring constant is 4 lb/ft (see Problem 1.72), and
m = 32/32 = 1 slug. The result of Problem 1.70 becomes x + 4x = 0. In addition, we have the initial

I The family of curves is a set of parabolas symmetric about the y axis with vertices at the origin. In the notation
of Problem 1.94, we have F(x, y, c) = y — ex 2
= 0. Implicitly differentiating the given equation with respect to
x, we obtain dy/dx = 2cx. To eliminate c, we observe, from the given equation, that c = y/x
2
; hence,
dy — x
dy/dx = 2y/x. We have found f(x, y) = 2y/x, so (7) of Problem 1.94 becomes — = .

. Implicitly differentiating the given equation with respect to x, we get
2x + 2yy' = or dy/dx = —x/y. Since f{x,y)=—x/y, (7) of Problem 1.94 becomes dy/dx = y/x.

f(x, y) = y, so (7) of Problem 1.94 becomes dy/dx — — l/y.
1.99 Derive a differential equation for the orthogonal trajectories of the family of curves xy = C.
ff In the notation of Problem 1.94, we have F(x, y, C) = xy — C. Implicitly differentiating this equation with

1.103 Define essential constants in the context of a relationship between two variables.
I If a relationship between two variables involves n arbitrary constants, then those constants are essential if
they cannot be replaced by a smaller number of constants.
1.104 Show that only one arbitrary constant is essential in the relationship y = x2
+ A + B involving the variables
x and y.
I Since A + B is no more than a single arbitrary constant, only one essential constant is involved.
1.105 Show that only one arbitrary constant is essential in the relationship y = Aex + B
involving the variables x and
y-
I Since y — Aex+B = Aex

, and AeB
is no more than a single arbitrary constant, only one essential constant
is required.
1.106 Show that only one arbitrary constant is essential in the relationship y = A + In fix involving the variables x
and y.
I Since y — A + In Bx — A + In B + In x, and (A + In B) is no more than a single constant, only one
essential constant is involved.
1.107 Define primitive in the context of a relation between two variables.
f A primitive is a relationship between two variables which contains only essential arbitrary constants.
Examples are y = x4
+ C and y = Ax2
+ Bx, involving the variables x and y.
1.108 Describe a procedure for obtaining a differential equation from a primitive.
f In general, a primitive involving n essential arbitrary constants will give rise to a differential equation of
order n, free of arbitrary constants. This equation is obtained by eliminating the n constants between the n + 1
equations consisting of the primitive and the n equations obtained by differentiating the primitive n times with
respect to the independent variable.
1.109 Obtain the differential equation associated with the primitive y = Ax2

The last of these, being free of arbitrary constants and of the proper order, is the required equation.
Note that the constants could not have been eliminated between the first three of the above equations. Note
also that the primitive can be obtained readily from the differential equation by integration.

2.1 Determine whether y(x) = 3e

I Differentiating y(x), we get y'(x) = 3e
x

x
+ 3e
x

x
^ 0. Since y(x) does not satisfy
the differential equation anywhere, it is not a solution.
2.2 Determine whether y(x) — 5 is a solution of y' + y — 0.
I Differentiating y(x), we get y'{x) = 0. Then y' + y = + 5 = 5 ^ 0. Since y(x) does not satisfy the
differential equation anywhere, it is not a solution.
2.3 Determine whether y{x) = cos x is a solution to y' + y = 0.
# Differentiating y(x), we get y'(x) = — sin x. Then y' + y = — sin x + cos x, which is not identically zero
on any interval. Because y(x) does not satisfy the differential equation on any interval, it is not a solution.
Note that y + y is zero wherever sin x = cos x, which occurs at infinitely many discrete points. There
is, however, no interval on which sin x = cos x, so there is no interval on which the differential equation is
satisfied.
2.4 Determine whether y — 3e'
x
is a solution of y' + y — O.
I Differentiating y(x), we get y'{x)=—3e~ x
. Then y' + y = -3e~ x
+ 3e~
x
= 0. Thus y(x) = 3e~
x
satisfies the differential equation for all values of x and is a solution on the interval (
— oo, oo).
2.5 Determine whether y = 5e~
x
is a solution of y' + y = 0.
# Differentiating y(x), we get y'(x)=—5e~x
. Then y' + y = — 5e~
x
+ 5e~
x
= 0. Thus y(x) = 5e~
x
satisfies the differential equation for all values of x and is a solution on the interval (
— oo, oo).
2.6 Show that y(x) = Ce~ x
is a solution of y' + y = on the interval (
— oo, oo) for any arbitrary constant C.
f Differentiating y(x), we get y'(x) = — Ce~ x
. Then y' + y = -Ce' x
+ Ce' x
= for all real values of x.
2.7 Determine whether y(x) = 2 is a solution of y' + y
2

f Differentiating y(x), we get y'(x) = 0. Then y' + y
2
= + (2)
2
= 4^0. Thus y(x) does not satisfy the
differential equation anywhere and is not a solution.
2.8 Determine whether y = e

2

2.9 Determine whether y — —x is a solution of y' + y
2

f Differentiating y(x), we get y'(x) = — 1. Then y + y
2
= - 1 + (-x)2
= x2
- 1, which is not identically
zero on any interval. Since y(x) does not satisfy the differential equation on any interval, it is not a solution.
Note that x2
— 1 is zero at ± 1; but for y(x) to be a solution, x2
— 1 would have to be zero on some
interval—and that is not the case.
2.10 Determine whether y = 1/x is a solution of y' + y
2

f Differentiating y(x), we get y'(x) = - 1/x
2

2.12 Determine whether y = l/(x — 2) is a solution of y' + y

Here y'(x) = - l/(x - 2)

and y" = 4e
2x
. Then y" — 4y = 4e
2x
— 4(e

solution to the differential equation everywhere.
2.15 Determine whether y = e
2x
is a solution of y" + 4y = 0.

2.16 Determine whether y = sin 2x is a solution of y" + y = 0.
f Differentiating y twice, we find y' = 2cos2x and f = —4 sin 2x. Then
y" + 4y = —4 sin 2x + 4(sin 2x) = 0, so y = sin 2x is a solution to the differential equation everywhere.
2.17 Determine whether y = 2 sin x is a solution of y" + y = 0.
f Differentiating y, we obtain y' = 2cosx and y"=— 2sinx. Then
y" + 4y = —2 sin x 4- 4(2 sin x) = 6 sin x, which is zero only for integral multiples of n. Since 6 sin x is not
identically zero on any interval, y = 2 sinx is not a solution to the differential equation.
2.18 Determine whether y = 2cos2x is a solution of y" + y = 0.
I Differentiating y, we find y'=— 4sin2x and y"=— 8cos2x. Then
y" + y = —8 cos 2x + 4(2 cos 2x) = 0, so y = 2 cos 2x is a solution to the differential equation everywhere.
2.19 Determine whether y(x) = is a solution of y" + 4y = 0.
I For the identically zero function, y' = y" = 0; hence y" + 4y = + 4(0) = 0. It follows that y(x) is a
solution to this differential equation everywhere.
2.20 Show that y(x) = Cj sin 2x + c2 cos 2x is a solution of y" + 4y = for all values of the arbitrary constants
Ci and c2 .
I Differentiating y, we find
y' = 2c x
cos 2x — 2c2 sin 2x and y" = — 4c x
sin 2x — 4c2 cos 2x
Hence, y" + 4y = (

sin 2x — 4c2 cos 2x) + 4{c x
sin 2x + c2 cos 2x)
= (— 4c j + 4c x

Thus, y = Cj sin 2x + c 2 cos 2x satisfies the differential equation for all values of x and is a solution on the
interval ( — oo, oo).

1 Differentiating x(t), we get x — —. Then x — 2x — — 2

right-hand side of the differential equation. Therefore, x(t) is not a solution.
2.28 Determine whether x(t) = — is a solution of x — 2x = t.
I Differentiating x(t), we get x = 0, so x — 2x = — 2(— |) = . This is equal to t, the right-hand side of

2.29 Determine whether x(t) = —jt — { is a solution of x — 2x = t.

2.33 Determine whether y(x) =1 is a solution of y" + 2y' + y = x.
I From y(v) = 1 it follows that y'(x) = and y"(x) = 0. Substituting these values into the differential
equation, we obtain y" + 2y' + y — + 2(0) + 1 = 1 # x. Thus, y(x) = 1 is not a solution.

—0 on the entire interval ( — oo, oo).
I By direct substitution, we find that r() = satisfies the differential equation identically for all values of x
in (
— oo, oo) and is, therefore, a solution. Any other function must be nonzero at some point (otherwise it would
not be different from the given function), and at such a point its square must be positive. Therefore, for such a
function, the left side of the differential equation must be positive at that point, because it is a sum of squares;
it then cannot equal zero, the right side of the differential equation. It follows that any nonzero function cannot
satisfy the differential equation at some point on ( — oo, oo) and thus cannot be a solution over the entire interval.
2.35 Determine whether y = x 2

I Note that the left side of the differential equation must be nonnegative for every real function y(x) and any x,
since it is the sum of terms raised to the second and fourth powers, while the right side of the equation is
negative. Since no function y(x) will satisfy this equation, the given differential equation has no solution.
2.36 Show that y = In x is a solution of xy" + y — on J = (0, x) but is not a solution on J = (

I On (0, oo) we have y' = 1/x and y" — — 1/x
2
. Substituting these values into the differential equation, we
obtain

Thus, y = In x is a solution on (0, x). However, y = In x cannot be a solution on (

logarithm is undefined for negative numbers and zero.

Thus, y = l/(x

therefore cannot be a solution on any interval containing either of these two points.

f Since y contains no arbitrary constants while the order of the differential equation is 2, y cannot be a

2.47 Determine whether y — A is a primitive of y' + y = 0.
I Substituting y = A and its derivative y' = into the left side of the differential equation, we obtain
v' + y = + A — A, which equals 0, the right side of the differential equation, only if A — 0. If A # 0,
then y = A is not a solution. Since y — A is not a solution for arbitrary A, y is not a primitive.
2.48 Determine whether y = Ax is a primitive for y - 3y = 0.
f Substituting y = /lx and y' = ,4 into the left side of the differential equation, we obtain
y' — 3y — A — 3 Ax = A(l — 3.x). If y = Ax is a primitive, it must satisfy the differential equation for all
values of A. Thus, A(l — 3x) must be zero for all A, but it is zero only when x = j. That means y = Ax
does not satisfy the differential equation on any interval; for that reason it is not a solution and. therefore, not

clearly the equation of a parabola cannot be obtained by manipulating the arbitrary constant C. (A solution that

DIRECTION FIELDS

2.53 Construct a direction field for the first-order differential equation y' — y — t.
I At each point in the (t, y) plane, we compute dy/dt by substituting y and t into the right-hand side of the
differential equation; then through the point, we graph a short line segment having the derivative as its slope.
In particular, at (0, 0) we have y' = - = 0; at (0, 1), / = 1 - = 1; at (1, 0), / = - 1 = - 1; at

f Since y(x) is a solution of the differential equation for all values of C, and c 2 , we seek those values of c, and
c 2 that will also satisfy the initial conditions. Note that y(0) = c, sinO + c 2 cosO = c 2 . To satisfy the first
initial condition. y(0) = 0, we choose c 2

y'(0) = 2c, cosO — 2c2 sinO = 2c,. To satisfy the second initial condition. y'(0) = 1, we choose 2c, = 1,
or c, = j. Substituting these values of c, and c 2
into y(x), we obtain y(x) — ^sin 2x as the solution of the

f Since (0) = c, sinO + c 2 cos0 = c 2 , we must choose c 2

y(n/2) = c, sin 71 + c 2
cos n = —c2 , we must choose c 2

I At x = 0, y(0) = A sinO + ScosO = B, so we must choose B — 1 to satisfy the condition y(0) = 1.
Furthermore, y'(x) = /I cos x — B sin x, so y'(0) = .4 cos — B sin = .4. To satisfy the condition y'(0) = 2,
we must choose A = 2. Then y(x) = 2 sin x -I- cos x is the solution to the initial-value problem.

2.80 Rework Problem 2.78 if the subsidiary conditions are y(0) = 1, y{n/2) = 1.
SOLUTIONS 31
f The problem is now a boundary-value problem because the subsidiary conditions are specified at different
values of the independent variable x. At x = 0, y(0) = A sin + B cos = B, so we must choose B = 1 to
satisfy the first subsidiary condition. At x = n/2, y(n/2) = A sin (n/2) + B cos (n/2) = A, so we must choose

I The problem is now a boundary-value problem. For the given y(x), we have y'(x) — A cos x — B sin x. At
x = 0, y'(0) = A cos — B sin = A, so we must choose A — 1 if we are to satisfy the first boundary
condition. At x = n/2, we have y'(n/2) = A cos (7r/2) — B sin (n/2) = — B, so we must choose B=— 1 to
satisfy the second boundary condition. Then y(x) = sin x — cos x.
2.82 Rework Problem 2.78 if the subsidiary conditions are y(0) = 1, y'(n) = 1.
I The problem is now a boundary-value problem. With y(x) = A sin x + B cos x and
y'(x) = A cos x — B sin x, we have y(0) = /I sinO -f BcosO = B and y'(n:) = Acosn — Bsinn = —A. To
satisfy the first condition we must choose B = 1; to satisfy the second condition we must choose A = — 1.
Then y(x) = — sin x + cos x.
2.83 Rework Problem 2.78 if the subsidiary conditions are y(0) = 0, y(n) = 2.
I Since y(0) = A sin + B cos = B, we must choose B = to satisfy the subsidiary condition y(0) = 0.
Since y(n) — A sin n + Bcos n — —B, we must choose B — —2 to satisfy the condition y(7r) = 2. Thus, to
satisfy both conditions simultaneously, we must require B to equal both and —2, which is impossible.
Therefore, this boundary-value problem does not possess a solution.
2.84 Rework Problem 2.78 if the subsidiary conditions are y(0) = y'(0) = 0.
I At x = 0, y(0) = A sin + B cos — B, so we must choose B — to satisfy the first initial condition.
Furthermore, y'(0) = A cos — B sin = A, so we must choose A — to satisfy the second initial condition.
Substituting these values into the general solution, we get y(x) = sin x + cos x = as the solution to the
initial-value problem.

Define separable as applied to differential equations.
A first-order differential equation is separable if it can be expressed in the form
dx B(y)
is a function only of x, and B(y) is a function only of y. Such equations have the differential form
A(x) dx + B(y) dy = 0. The variables x and y may be replaced by any two other variables without affecting
separability.
Prove that every solution of the separable differential equation A(x) dx + B(y) dy = is given by
j A(x) dx + j" B(y) dy = c, where c represents an arbitrary constant.
I Rewrite the differential equation as A{x) + B(y)y' — 0. If y{x) is a solution, it must satisfy this equation
identically in x; hence, A{x) + B[y(x)]y'(x) = 0. Integrating both sides of this last equation with respect to x,
we obtain
§A(x)dx + JB[y(x)~]y'(x)dx = c
In the second integral, make the change of variables y = y(x), so that dy — y'{x) dx. The result of this
substitution is j A(x) dx + J
B{y) dy = c.
The two integrals may be, for all practical purposes, impossible to evaluate. In such a case, numerical
techniques may have to be used to obtain an approximate solution. Even if the indicated integrations can be
performed, it may not be algebraically possible to solve for y explicitly in terms of x. In that case, the solution
is left in implicit form.

54 CHAPTER 3
f We know that f(x, y) = f{tx, ty). Since this equation is valid for all t in some interval, it must be true, in
particular, for t = 1/x. Thus, f(x, v) = f(, y/x). If we now define g(y/x) = f{l, y/x), we then have

3.121 Prove that if y' = f(x, y) is homogeneous, then the differential equation can be rewritten as y' = h(x/y),

I We have f(x, y) = f{tx, ty). Since this equation is valid for all t in some interval, it must be true in
particular for t — 1/y. Thus, f(x,y)=f(x/y,l). If we now define h{x/y) = f(x/y, 1 ), we have
y' = f(x, y) = /(x/y, 1) = h(x/y) as required.

# If the differential equation A/(. y)dx + N{x, y)dy = is exact, then it follows from Problem 4.1 that there

It follows from (/) that the exact differential equation may be written as dg(x, y) = = Odx. Integrating this

equation in implicit form as
g(x, y) = c (4)
where c denotes an arbitrary constant. The function #(x, y) is obtained by solving (5).
4.44 Solve 2.y dx + ( 1 + x 2

I This differential equation is exact (see Problem 4.3). We must determine a function g(x, y) that satisfies (i) of
Problem 4.43. Substituting M(x, y) — 2xy into (3) of Problem 4.43, we obtain dg/dx = 2xy. Integrating

Note that when we integrate with respect to x, the constant (with respect to x) of integration can depend on y.
We now determine h(y). Differentiating #(x, y) of (/) with respect to y, we obtain dg/dy — x2

substituting this equation along with N(x, y) = 1 + x2

Integrating this last equation with respect to y, we obtain h(y) — y + c x

POPULATION GROWTH PROBLEMS
6.1 A certain population of bacteria is known to grow at a rate proportional to the amount present in a culture
that provides plentiful food and space. Initially there are 250 bacteria, and after seven hours 800 bacteria are
observed in the culture. Find an expression for the approximate number of bacteria present in the culture at
any time t.
I The differential equation governing this system was determined in Problem 1.53 to be dN/dt = kN, where
N(t) denotes the number of bacteria present and k is a constant of proportionality. Its solution is N — ce*'
(see Problem 5.8).
At t — 0, we are given N = 250. Applying this initial condition, we get 250 = ce*
(0)

solution becomes N = 250e'".
At t = 7, we are given N — 800. Substituting this condition and solving for k, we get 800 = 250e*(7)
,
or k — 4lnf§§ — 0.166. Now the solution becomes
N = 250?° ,66'
(7)
which is an expression for the approximate number of bacteria present at any time t measured in hours.
6.2 Determine the approximate number of bacteria that will be present in the culture described in the previous
problem after 24 h.
# We require N at t = 24. Substituting t = 24 into (/) of the previous problem, we obtain
N = 250e°
166,24)
= 13,433.
6.3 Determine the amount of time it will take for the bacteria described in Problem 6.1 to increase to 2500.
I We seek a value of t corresponding to N = 2500. Substituting N — 2500 into (/) of Problem 6.1 and
solving for t, we find 2500 = 250?° lh(
", so that 10 = e
01661
and t = (In 10) 0.166 = 13.9 h.
6.4 A bacteria culture is known to grow at a rate proportional to the amount present. After one hour, 1000
bacteria are observed in the culture; and after four hours. 3000. Find an expression for the number of bacteria
present in the culture at any time t.
I As in Problem 6.1. the differential equation governing this system is dN/dt = kN, where N(t) denotes the
number of bacteria present and k is a constant of proportionality, and its solution is N — ce
kl
.
At t=l, N=1000; hence, 1000 = ce
k
.
At t = 4, N = 3000; hence, 3000 = ce
Ak
.
Solving these two equations for k and c, we find k = 3 In 3 = 0.366 and c = 1000? ° 366
= 694.
Substituting these values of k and c into the solution yields N - 694c0366'
as the number of bacteria present
at any time t.
6.5 In the previous problem, determine the number of bacteria originally in the culture.
I We require N at t = 0. Substituting f — into the result of the previous problem, we obtain
/V = 694e(0 - 366)<0)

6.6 A bacteria culture is known to grow at a rate proportional to the amount present. Find an expression for
the approximate number of bacteria in such a culture if the initial number is 300 and if it is observed that the

I Let N(t) denote the amount of yeast present at time t. Then dN/dt = kN, where k is a constant of

DECAY PROBLEMS
6.17 A certain radioactive material is known to decay at a rate proportional to the amount present. If initially there
is 100 mg of the material present and if after 2 years it is observed that 5 percent of the original mass has
decayed, find an expression for the mass at any time t.
I Let N(t) denote the amount of material present at time t. The differential equation governing this system is
dN/dt — kN, and its solution is N — ce*' (see Problem 5.8). At t — 0, we are given TV — 100. Applying
this initial condition, we get 100 = ce
k{0)

At t = 2, 5 percent of the original mass of 100 mg, or 5 mg, has decayed. Hence, at t — 2,
N{2) — 100 — 5 = 95. Substituting this condition in the equation TV = lOOe*" and solving for k, we get

6.18 In the previous problem, determine the time necessary for 10 percent of the original mass to decay.
I We require t when JV has decayed to 90 percent of its original mass. Since the original mass was 100 mg,
we seek the value of t corresponding to N = 90. Substituting TV - 90 into (7) of the previous problem
gives us 90= lOOe"
00256', so that -0.0256r = In 0.9, and t = -(In 0.9)/0.0256 = 4.12 years.
6.19 A certain radioactive material is known to decay at a rate proportional to the amount present. If initially there
is 50 mg of the material present and after 2 h it is observed that the material has lost 10 percent of its original
mass, find an expression for the mass of the material remaining at any time t.
I Let N denote the amount of material present at time t. Then dN/dt - kN = and, as in Problem 6.17,
N = ce**. At t = 0, we are given N = 50. Therefore, 50 = ce
k(0
 or c = 50. Thus, we now have
N = 50e*'.
At t = 2, 10 percent of the original mass of 50 mg, or 5 mg, has decayed. Hence, at t = 2,
TV = 50 - 5 = 45. Substituting these values into the last equation and solving for k, we get 45 = 50e

6.21 Determine the time at which the mass described in Problem 6.19 has decayed to one-half its initial mass.
f We require t when N - 50/2 = 25. Substituting N = 25 into (7) of Problem 6.19 and solving for t, we
find 25 = 50e~ 0053', so that -0.053t = ln| and t= 13 h. (The time required to reduce a decaying
material to one-half its original mass is called the half-life of the material. For this material the half-life is 13 h.)
6.22 A certain radioactive material is known to decay at a rate proportional to the amount present. If after 1 h it
is observed that 10 percent of the material has decayed, find the half-life of the material.
f Let N(t) denote the amount of the material present at time f. Then dN/dt — kt, where k is a constant of
proportionality. The solution to this equation is given in Problem 5.8 as N — ce

If we designate the initial
mass as NQ , then N = NQ at t — 0, and we have NQ = ce*

N = N e

.
At t — 1, 10 percent of the original mass 7V has decayed, so 90 percent remains. Hence N = 0.9N at
t = 1. Substituting this condition and solving for k, we get 0.9A = N e

three-quarters of the initial amount is present after 8 h. it follows that |/V = N e

We require t when N — ^o- Substituting this value into the previous equation and solving for r, we get

6.24 Radium decomposes at a rate proportional to the amount present. If half the original amount disappears
in 1600 years, find the percentage lost in 100 years.
I Let R(t) denote the amount of radium present at time t. It follows from Problem 1.52 that dR/dt = kR.
where k is a constant of proportionality. Solving this equation, we get R — ce

Since the half-life of radium is 1600 years, we have the condition R = |/? when r = 1600. Applying
this condition to the last equation and then solving for k give %R = R e

6.25 A certain radioactive material is known to decay at a rate proportional to the amount present. If initially  g
of the material is present and 0.1 percent of the original mass has decayed after 1 week, find an expression
for the mass at any time f.
f Let N(t) denote the amount of material present at time f. Then dN/dt = kt, where k is a constant of
proportionality, and the solution to this equation is N = ce
kI
(see Problem 5.8). Since N =  at t = 0, we
have  — ce
kW = c, so the solution becomes N = d*.
If we take the time unit to be 1 week, then 0.1 percent of the initial mass has decayed at t = 1, and
99.9 percent remains. Thus, at t = 1, we have N = 0.999(|) = 0.4995 g. Applying this condition to the last
equation, we get 0.4995 = eHl

6.29 A certain radioactive material is known to decay at a rate proportional to the amount present. If initially 500 mg
of the material is present and after 3 years 20 percent of the original mass has decayed, find an expression
for the mass at any time f.
I Let R{t) denote the amount of radioactive material present at time f. Then dR/dt = kR, where k is a

R = 500e*'.
If we take the time unit to be 1 year, then 20 percent of the original mass has decayed at t — 3, and
80 percent remains. Thus, at t = 3, R — 0.8(500) = 400. Applying this condition to the last equation, we

6.35 Under certain conditions it is observed that the rate at which a solid substance dissolves varies directly as the

COOLING AND HEATING PROBLEMS
6.51 Newton's law of cooling states that the time rate of change of the temperature of a body is proportional to the
temperature difference between the body and its surrounding medium. Using Newton's law of cooling, derive a
differential equation for the cooling of a hot body surrounded by a cool medium.
I Let T denote the temperature of the body, and let Tm denote the temperature of the surrounding medium.
Then the time rate of change of the temperature of the body is dT/dt, and Newton's law of cooling can be
formulated as dT/dt — —k(T- TJ. or as
dT

where k is a positive constant of proportionality. Since k is chosen positive, the minus sign in Newton's law is
required to make dT/dt negative for a cooling process. Note that in such a process, 7" is greater than 7m; thus
7 — Tm is positive.

expression for the temperature of the body at time t.
I Here the temperature of the surrounding medium, Tm , is held constant at 30° F, so (7) of Problem 6.51

6.88 Find the concentration of salt in the tank described in the previous problem at any time t.

I For the second tank, V = 100, a — 0, b = 0.8e~

6.103 As a possible model of a diffusion process in the bloodstream in the human body, consider a solution moving
with constant velocity v through a cylindrical tube of length L and radius r. We suppose that as the solution
moves through the tube, some of the solute which it contains diffuses through the wall of the tube into an
ambient solution of the same solute of lower concentration, while some continues to be transported through
the tube. As variables, we let x be a distance coordinate along the tube and y(x) be the concentration of the
solute at any point x, assumed uniform over the cross section of the tube. As boundary conditions, we assume
that y(0) = >' and y(L) = yL(<y ) are known. Find an expression for the concentration y(x) at any point
along the tube.
I As a principle to use in formulating this problem, we have Frick's law: The time rate at which a solute diffuses
through a thin membrane in a direction perpendicular to the membrane is proportional to the area of the membrane
and to the difference between the concentrations of the solute on the two sides of the membrane.
We begin by considering conditions in a typical segment of the tube between x and x + Ax (Fig. 6.6). The
concentration of the solution entering the segment is y(x); the concentration of the solution leaving the segment is
y(x + Ax). In the time Af that it takes the solution to move through the segment, an amount of solute equal to
concentration x volume = y{x)nr
2
Ax enters the left end of the segment, and the amount y(x + Ax)rcr
2
Ax
leaves the right end of the segment. The difference, [y(x) — y(x + Ax)]rcr
2
Ax, must have left the segment by
diffusion through the wall of the tube. The expression for this amount, as given by Frick's law, is
Rate of diffusion x time = k(2nr Ax)[y(x + 9 Ax) — c] Af
where x + 0Ax, for < 9 < 1, is a typical point between x and x + Ax at which to assume an "average"
value of the concentration, and c, assumed constant, is the concentration of the solute in the fluid surrounding the
tube. Equating the two expressions we have found for the loss of solute by diffusion, we have
[y(x) - y(x + Ax)]7tr

Ax = k(2nr Ax)[y(x + 9 Ax) - c] Af

f Assume that both gravity and mass remain constant and, for convenience, choose the downward direction as

For the problem at hand, there are two forces acting on the body: (1) the force due to gravity given by the
weight w of the body, which equals mg, and (2) the force due to air resistance given by — kv, where k > is a
constant of proportionality. The minus sign is required because this force opposes the velocity; that is, it acts in
the upward, or negative, direction (see Fig. 6.7). The net force F on the body is, therefore, F = mg — kv, so

a third force which results from the difference in specific gravities. This force is equal in magnitude to the

f Let 9 denote the angle of inclination of the radius vector, z the angle of inclination of the tangent, and ip
the angle between the radius vector and the tangent. Since jj = t/3 = {j/ + 9)/3, we have jj = 9 and
tan if/

p = sec(C + 9). Thus, the conditions are satisfied by the circle p = 1 and the family of curves p = sec(C + 9).

6.189 Find the shape assumed by a flexible chain suspended between two points and hanging under its own weight.
f Let the y axis pass through the lowest point of the chain (Fig. 6.23), let s be the arc length from this point
to a variable point (x, y), and let w(s) be the linear density of the chain. We obtain the equation of the curve
from the fact that the portion of the chain between the lowest point and (x, y) is in equilibrium under the action
of three forces: the horizontal tension T at the lowest point; the variable tension T at (x, y), which acts along
the tangent because of the flexibility of the chain; and a downward force equal to the weight of the chain
between these two points. Equating the horizontal component of T to T and the vertical component of T to
the weight of the chain gives T cos 9 = T and T sin 9 = f w(s) ds. It follows from the first of these
equations that T sin 9 = T tan 9 = T j-, so T y' = f w{s) ds. We eliminate the integral here by

solving this equation. To proceed further, we must have definite information about the function w(s).

f At time f, measured from the instant both start, the rabbit will be at the point R = (0, at) and the dog at

a string 20 ft long. He walks along the side of the pool toward C, keeping the string taut. Locate the boy and
boat when the latter is 12 ft from AC.

7.34 Determine whether the set {e

I Consider the equation
c,e + c-,e~ = (1)
We must determine whether there exist values of c x
and c 2 , not both zero, that will satisfy (/). Rewriting (7), we
have c,e or -c,e2x
For any nonzero value of cu the left side of this equation is a
constant, whereas the right side is not; hence the equality is not valid. It follows that the only solution to this
latter equation, and therefore to (J), is c x
= c 2
— 0. Thus, the set is not linearly dependent; rather it is linearly
independent.

c,e — c ,e
x

Solving them, we find that the only solution is c l

the given set is linearly independent. Note that if any of the c's were not zero, then the equation could hold
for at most two values of x, the roots of the equation, and not for all x.

linear equations for the unknowns c u c2 , and c 3 . Solving them, we find that the only solution is

These two equations are a set of simultaneous linear equations for the unknowns c x

solve them is to multiply the first by 2 sin 2x, multiply the second by cos 2x, and then add the resulting equations
together. Doing so, we find that the only solution is c x
— c 2
— 0, which implies that the functions are linearly
independent.
7.41 Rework the previous problem using the Wronskian.
I The Wronskian of {sin 2x, cos 2x} is found in Problem 7.2 to be —2. Since it is nonzero for at least one
point in the interval of interest (it is, in fact, nonzero everywhere), the functions are linearly independent on that
interval.
7.42 Determine whether the set {sin 3x, cos 3x} is linearly independent on (
— oo, oo).
I Consider the equation c x
sin 3x + c 2 cos 3x = 0. Differentiating, we obtain 3c x
cos 3x — 3c2 sin 3x = 0.
To solve these two equations simultaneously for the unknowns c x
and c2 , we multiply the first by 3 sin 3x,
multiply the second by cos 3x, and then add. The only solution is c {
= c 2
= 0, which implies that the
functions are linearly independent.
7.43 Rework the previous problem using the Wronskian.
I The Wronskian of {sin 3x, cos 3x} is found in Problem 7.4 to be —3. Since it is nonzero for at least one

interval.
7.44 Is the set {f
2
, t} linearly independent on (
— oo, oo)?
f Consider the equation c x
t
2
+ c 2 t = 0. Since a polynomial equals zero for all values of t in (
— oo, oo) if and
only if the coefficients are zero, it follows that c, = c 2 = 0, from which we conclude that the original functions
are linearly independent.
7.45 Rework the previous problem using differentiation.
I We begin again with the equation ct t
2
+ c 2 t = 0. Differentiating gives 2c x
t + c 2 = 0. These two
equations are a system of linear equations which may be solved simultaneously for Cj and c 2 . Instead, we may
differentiate the second equation to obtain 2c, =0. It follows from this that cx
— 0, and then from the
second equation that c 2
= 0. Thus, the only solution is c x
= c 2
= 0, and the functions are linearly
independent.

f The Wronskian of {t

. Since it is nonzero for at least one point in the
interval of interest (for example, at t = 2, we have W = 4 # 0), the functions are linearly independent on
that interval.
7.47 Is the set {t
2
, t
3
} linearly independent on ( — oo, oo)?
I Consider the equation c x
t
2
+ c 2 t
3
= 0. This is a third-degree polynomial in t. Since a polynomial is zero
for all values of fin ( — x, oo) if and only if all of its coefficients are zero, it follows that c x
= c 2
= 0, from
which we conclude that the functions are linearly independent.
7.48 Rework the previous problem using differentiation.
I We begin again with the equation c x
t
2
+ c 2 t
3
= 0. Differentiating, we obtain 2c x
t + 3c2 t
2
= 0. These
two equations are a set of linear equations which may be solved simultaneously for c x
and c 2 . Instead, however,
we may differentiate twice more, obtaining successively 2c x
+ 6c2 t = and 6c2
= 0. It follows from these
equations first that c2
= 0, and then that c x
— 0. Thus, the only solution to the first equation is c x
= c 2
= 0,
and the functions are linearly independent.
7.49 Rework Problem 7.47 using the Wronskian.
f The Wronskian of {f

interval of interest (for example, at t = 1, W = I ^ 0), the functions are linearly independent on that interval.
7.50 Determine whether {e

f Consider the equation c x

= 0. These two
equations may be solved simultaneously for c, and c 2 . We begin by subtracting the first from the second, and
then recall that e

functions are linearly independent.
7.51 Rework the previous problem using the Wronskian.
f The Wronskian of {c c

7.52 Determine whether -J

f Consider the equation c,(3 sin 2x) + c 2 (4 sin 2x) = 0. By inspection, we see that there exist constants c x
and
c 2 , not both zero (in particular, c, = 4 and c 2
= -3), that satisfy this equation for all values of x in
(—x, x); thus, the functions are linearly dependent.
7.53 Can the Wronskian be used to determine whether the functions 3 sin 2x and 4 sin 2x are linearly independent
on (

f It is shown in Problem 7.3 that the Wronskian of these two functions is identically zero, so no conclusions
can be drawn about linear independence.
7.54 Redo the previous problem if in addition it is known that the two functions are solutions of the same linear
homogeneous differential equation.
I If the Wronskian of a set of functions is zero, and if those functions are all solutions to the same linear
homogeneous differential equation, then the functions are linearly dependent. Thus, it now follows from
Problem 7.3 that 3 sin 2x and 4 sin 2x are linearly dependent.
7.55 Determine whether {3x, 5x} is linearly independent on ( — x, x).
I Consider the equation c

Thus, the functions are linearly dependent.

7.59 What conclusion can one draw about the linear independence of the functions t

7.68 What conclusions can one draw about the linear independence of the functions x3

on (- 1, 1) by
computing their Wronskian?
/ Since the Wronskian is identically zero (see Problem 7.20), no conclusion can be drawn about linear
independence.
7.69 Determine whether the set {x

,
|x

f Consider the equation c x
x3
+ c 2 x
3

= 0. Recall that |x
3
|
= x3
if x > 0, and |x
3
|
= -x3
if x < 0.
Thus, our equation becomes
c y
x3
+ c 2 x3
= forx >
c t
x3
— c2 x3
= for x <
Solving these two equations simultaneously for c x
and c2 , we find that the only solution is c t
= c2
— 0. The
given set is, therefore, linearly independent.
7.70 Can both x3
and |x
3
|
be solutions of the same linear homogeneous differential equation?
I No, for if they were, then we would have two solutions of the same linear homogeneous differential equation
having an identically zero Wronskian, which would imply that the two functions are linearly dependent. We
know, however, from the previous problem that the two functions are linearly independent on (—1, 1).
7.71 Determine whether x3
and |x
3
|
are linearly dependent on [ — 1,0].
I It follows from Problem 7.69 that, for linear dependence, we must satisfy c,x 3
— c 2 x3
= 0. Observe that
thib is the only condition that is operable here, because we do not include any positive values of the independent
variable x. By inspection, we see that there exist constants c t
and c 2 not both zero (for example, c Y
= c 2
= 7)
that satisfy this equation for all values of x in the interval of interest; therefore the functions are linearly
dependent there.
7.72 Determine whether x 3
and |x
3
|
are linearly dependent on [0, 1J.
I It follows from Problem 7.69 that we must now satisfy c,x 3
+ c 2 x3
= 0. Observe that this is the only
operable condition because we do not include negative values of x. By inspection, we see that there exist
constants c x
and c 2 not both zero (for example, c, = — c 2
= 3) that satisfy this equation for all values of x in
the interval of interest; hence the functions are linearly dependent there.
7.73 Determine whether the set {1 — x, 1 + x, 1 — 3x} is linearly dependent on (— x, oo).
f Consider the equation c,(l — x) + c 2 (l + x) + c 3 { — 3x) = 0. which can be rewritten as
( — c, + c2
— 3c 3 )x + (c, + c 2 + c 3 ) = 0. This linear equation can be satisfied for all x only if both coefficients
are zero. Thus, we require
— c, + c 2
— 3c 3
= and c {
+ c 2 + c 3
=
Solving these equations simultaneously, we find that r, = — 2c3 and c 2
= c 3 , with c 3 arbitrary. Choosing
c 3
= 1 (any other nonzero number would do), we obtain c x
= —2, c 2
— , and c 3
= 1 as a set of
constants, not all zero, that satisfy the original equation. Thus, the given set of functions is linearly dependent.
7.74 Determine whether the set {5, 3 — 2x, 2 + x - ^x 2
} is linearly dependent on ( — oo, oo).
f Consider the equation c,(5) + c2 (3 - 2x) + c 3(2 + x — x 2
)
= 0, which we may rewrite as
(— |c 3 )x
2
+ (
— 2c2 + c 3)x + (5cj + 3c2 + 2c3 )
= 0. The left side is a second-degree polynomial in x. Since a
polynomial is zero for all values of x in ( — oo, oo) if and only if all of its coefficients are zero, it follows that
— 2 C 3 = ar, d — 2c2 + c 3 = and 5c x + 3c2 + 2c3 =
Solving this set of equations simultaneously, we find that the only solution to it, and therefore to the original
equation, is c t
= c 2
= c3
— 0. Hence the functions are linearly independent.
7.75 Rework the previous problem using differentiation.
I We begin again with the rewritten equation (
— 2 c 3 )x
2
+ (
— 2c2 + c 3 )x -I- (5c Y
+ 3c 2 + 2c3 ) = 0.
Differentiating this equation twice, we obtain successively — c3 x + (
— 2c2 + c 3 ) = and — c 3 = 0. Solving
LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS—THEORY OF SOLUTIONS 157
this set of equations one at a time in reverse order, we find that c 3
= c 2
= c, = is the only solution;
therefore the functions are linearly independent.

c 2 ,
and c 3 not all zero (for example, c x
-2, c 2
= 1, and c 3
= 0) that satisfy this equation for all values of
x. Therefore, the functions are linearly dependent.
Alternatively, we can rearrange our equation to {c x
— 2c 2 )x
2
+ c 3 x 3
= 0. The left side is a third-degree
polynomial; it is zero for all values of x in (— oo, oo) if and only if the coefficients are zero, that is, if and only
if Cy — 2c2
= and c 3
= 0. Solving these last two equations simultaneously, we find that c 3
— and
c x
= 2c2 , with c 2 arbitrary. Choosing c 2
— 1 (any other nonzero number would do equally well), we arrive
at the same conclusion as before—namely that the functions are linearly dependent.

may be drawn.
7.79 Redo the previous problem if in addition it is known that all three functions are solutions of d*y/dx

f Their Wronskian is — 6e

7.81 The functions sin t, cos f, and 2 sin t — cos t are all solutions of the differential equation y" + y = 0. Are
these functions linearly independent on ( — oo, oo)?
f The Wronskian of these functions is found in Problem 7.31 to be zero. Since the functions are all solutions

y/dt* = 0. Are these

f The Wronskian of these functions is 42r (see Problem 7.30). Since it is nonzero for at least one point in the
interval of interest (for example, at t = 1, W = 42), the functions are linearly independent.
7.83 The functions t, t - 3, and 2r + 5 are all solutions of the differential equation d 2
y/dt

functions linearly dependent on (-co, oo)?
f The Wronskian of these functions is identically zero (see Problem 7.28). Since the functions are all solutions

7.84 Determine whether the functions e

I Using the result of Problem 7.33 with mt

Is the solution given in the previous problem the general solution to x3/" — 6xy' + 12y = on (1, 5)?
f Yes. The differential equation is linear, of order 3, and homogeneous: it has continuous coefficients on (1, 5)

possesses three linearly independent solutions, which we found in Problem 7.88. The general solution is the

of y" — 2/ + y = 0, and since this is a second-order linear homogeneous differential equation with continuous

sin 2x + c 2 is the general solution of y" + 4y = 0.
I Although y, = sin 2x and y2

7.101 Determine whether y = Cj(3 sin 2x) + c 2 (4 sin 2x) is a solution of y" + 4y = if it is known that both
3 sin 2x and 4 sin 2x are solutions.
# It is. The result follows immediately from the principle of superposition.
7.102 Determine whether y = c x (3 sin 2x) 4- e2 {4 sin 2x) is the general solution of y" + 4y = 0.
# It is not. Although both functions are solutions to the differential equation, they are not linearly independent
(see Problem 7.52). Hence the proposed solution is not the superposition of two linearly independent solutions
and is not the general solution to the differential equation.
7.103 Determine whether y = c t
sin 2x + c 2 cos 2x is a solution of y" + 4y = if it is known that both sin 2x and
cos 2x are solutions.
f It is. The result follows immediately from the principle of superposition. See also Problem 2.20.
160 CHAPTER 7
7.104 Determine whether y = c l
sin 2x + c 2 cos 2x is the general solution of y" + Ay = 0.
I It is. Since the two solutions are linearly independent (see Problem 7.40), their superposition is the general
solution of this second-order linear homogeneous differential equation with constant coefficients.
7.105 Determine whether y — c y + c 2 x is a solution of y" = for any values of the arbitrary constants c t
and c 2
if it is known that y t
= 1 and y2
— x are solutions.
I It is. Since the differential equation is linear and homogeneous, the result follows immediately from the
principle of superposition.
7.106 Determine whether y — c {
+ c 2 x is the general solution of y'" = 0.
I It is not. The general solution of a third-order linear homogeneous differential equation with constant
coefficients must be formed from the superposition of three linearly independent solutions. Although y t
= 1
and y2
= x are linearly independent (see Problem 7.5). they are only two in number and therefore one short
of the required number of solutions.
7.107 Determine whether y = c,(l — x) 4- c 2 (l + x) + c 3 (l — 3x) is a solution of /" = for any values of the
arbitrary constants c u c 2 , and c 3 if it is known that y, = 1 — x, y2
= 1 + x, and V3 = 1 — 3x are
solutions.
f It is. The result follows immediately from the principle of superposition.
7.108 Determine whether y — c,(l — x) -I- c 2 (l + x) + c 3 (l — 3x) is the general solution of y'" — 0.
f It is not. The general solution is the superposition of three linearly independent solutions, but the functions
1 — x, 1 -(- x, and 1 — 3x are linearly dependent (see Problem 7.73).
7.109 Determine whether y = C] + c 2 x + c 3 x 2
is a solution of y" = if it is known that 1. x. and x2
are all
solutions.
f It is. The result follows immediately from the principle of superposition.
7.110 Determine whether y = c, + c 2
x + c 3
x 2
is the general solution of y" = 0.
I It is, because the three functions 1, x, and x 2
are linearly independent (see Problem 7.37) and their number
(three) is the same as the order of the differential equation.
7.111 Determine whether y = </,(5) -I- d2 (3 - 2x) + J 3 (2 + x - x2
) is the general solution of y"' — 0.
f It is. The three functions 5, 3 — 2x, and 2 + x — x
2
are all solutions of y'" = (as may be verified
by direct substitution), and they are linearly independent (see Problems 7.74 through 7.76). Since there are three
such functions, their superposition is the general solution.
7.112 Problems 7.110 and 7.111 identify two general solutions to the same differential equation. How is this possible
f The two solutions must be algebraically equivalent. We can rewrite the solution given in Problem 7.111 as
y = (5d l
+ 3d2 + 2d3 ) + (-2d2 + d3 )x + (-^3 )x

. Then with c, = 5c/, + 3d2 + 2d3 , c2

c 3

7.118 What is the general solution of the differential equation in Problem 7.116?
* Since the differential equation is linear, homogeneous, and of order 3 with constant coefficients (which implies
continuous coefficients having the property that the coefficient of the highest derivative is nonzero everywhere),
it follows that the general solution is the superposition of any three linearly independent solutions. From the

8.48 Show that if the characteristic equation of a second-order linear homogeneous differential equation with real
constant coefficients has complex roots, then these roots must be complex conjugates.
f Denote the two roots as a + ib and c + id, where i = V — 1. Then the characteristic equation is
[X - (a + ib)~_k — (c + id)] = or )} - X[(a + ib) + (c + id)] + [(a + ib)(c + id)] = 0. The associated
differential equation (with y as the dependent variable and x as the independent variable) is
^- [(a + ib) + (c + id)] £+[(« + ib)(c + id)]y = 0.
LINEAR HOMOGENEOUS DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH CONSTANT COEFFICIENTS 171
If the coefficients of this equation are real, then (a + ib) + (c + id) = {a + c) + i(b + d) must be real, which
requires that d = -b. Then the coefficient of y becomes (a + ib)(c - ib) = (ac + b
2
) + ib(c - a). This
coefficient is real only if b = or c = a. We discard b = as a possibility, because if it is so then the
roots are not complex as hypothesized. Thus, for the differential equation to have complex roots a + ib and
c + id, we must have d=-b and c = a, which implies that the roots are complex conjugates.
8.49 Derive a real-valued solution for a second-order linear differential equation with real constant coefficients if
the roots of its characteristic equation are complex.

portion of the given particular solution implies that the associated characteristic root has multiplicity
three. Since sin t can be generated only from roots + i, which must occur in conjugate pairs, it follows that both

or
— 3A e

Since yp

modify yp

9A e

I We assume a particular solution of the form yp

as in Problem 9.2.
Since yp

Since yp

yp

I We assume yp

Substituting yp

by multiplying by x. The new candidate is yp

A2x2

x + A , which has the same degree as the right side of the given differential equation. But part of

f The complementary function is, from Problem 8.186, yc

particular solution A . Because this is part of yc
(for c x
= A ), we modify it by multiplying by the smallest
positive integral power of x that eliminates duplication. The first power will not work, because A x is part of
yc
(for c 2

yp

9.160 Redo the previous problem if, instead, the right side of the differential equation is 6x.
I yc
remains valid, but we now use a general first-degree polynomial as our initial try for yp

However, this is part of yc
(for Cj = A , c 2
= A v ), so we modify it by multiplying by x. The result is
A{x2

multiplying again by x. The result, yp

, does not duplicate any part of yc
and is therefore in
proper form.
9.161 Redo Problem 9.159 if the right side of the differential equation is 6x2

I The complementary solution yc
of Problem 9.159 remains valid, but we now use a general second-degree
polynomial as our initial try for yp

x and A )
are also part of the complementary function, we must modify it. To do so, we multiply by x2

positive integral power of x that eliminates duplication of yc
. The proper form is then yp

9.162 Determine the form of a particular solution to y" — 9x2

1 The complementary function is yc

:
A2 x2

x + A . However, this trial solution has a first-power term and a constant term in common with
yc
. We must modify it by multiplying by the smallest positive integral power of x that eliminates duplication between
yp

9.163 Solve the differential equation of the previous problem.
f Differentiating yp

x + 2A = 9x2

(see Problem 8.154). Since the right side of the

x + A2 x2
. However, since this is identical
in form to yc , it must be modified. To do so, we multiply by x3

Since the right side of the given differential equation is a second-degree polynomial, we try, as a particular
solution, the general second-degree polynomial A + A x
x + A 2 x2
. But this is part of yc
for suitable choices of
<?! through c4, and so must be modified. To do so, we multiply by x

conclude that A = —f, A x

But because this trial solution and yc

solution is identical in form to yf

get yp

9.172 Determine the form of a particular solution to x + 16x = 2 sin 4t.
I The complementary solution is xr

differential equation is a sine term, we try A sir4t + B cos4t as a particular solution. But yc
and this trial
solution are of identical form, so we must modify it. We do so by multiplying by f, getting
xp
= A t sin 4f + BQ t cos 4f. Since all the terms of xp
are distinct from those of xc , it is in proper form.
9.173 Solve the differential equation of the previous problem,
f By substituting x and x" = ( - 6A t - 8B ) sin At + (8.4 - 16B f) cos At into the given differential equation

and simplifying, we get
( - 85 ) sin At + (8A ) cos At = 2 sin At + cos At
Then equating the coefficients of like terms yields A = and B = —£. The general solution is thus
x = xc

is identical to xc
when c t

by t , obtaining xp

xc by a suitable choice of Cj or c 2 .

t - 16B ) sin St + (16A - 64B t) cos 8t + 64(A t sin St + B t cos 8f) = 64 cos 8f
which can be simplified to (-16B )sin8t + (6A )cosSt = 0sin8f + 64cos8f. Equating coefficients of like
terms, we conclude that A = 4 and B = 0. Then the general solution is
x = Cj cos 8f + c2 sin St + 4r sin St.
9.176 Solve 3c + 3gx = 3g sin -J3gt, where # is a positive constant.
§ The complementary solution is, from Problem 8.74, xc

cos y/lgt + C2 sin -Jlgt. We try
A sin >/3gf + B cos v3#f as a particular solution, and then modify it to xp
— A t sin y/3gt + B t cos J3gt
by multiplying by t.
Substituting xp
into the given differential equation and simplifying, we get
( — 2yJ3gB ) sin y/3gt + (2yJ3gA ) cos J3gt = 3g sin j3gt. By equating coefficients of like terms, we find that
B = —jy/3g and A = 0. The general solution is then
x = xc + xp
= Cj cos yJ3gt + c2 sin J3gt — l3gt cos yJ3gt.
9.177 Determine the form of a particular solution to (D2
+ 4)v = x2
sin 2x.
f The complementary solution is yc
= Cx
cos 2x + C2 sin 2x. Since the right side of the differential equation is a
second-degree polynomial times a sine term, we try (Bx2
+ Ex + G) sin 2x + (Ax2
+ Cx + F) cos 2x as a
particular solution. But this trial solution has terms in common with yc, namely a constant times sin 2x and a
constant times cos 2x, so we must modify it. We do so by multiplying by the smallest positive integral
power of x that eliminates all commonality between ye
and yp
. This is the first power. As a result, we find
yp
= Ax3
cos 2x + Bx3
sin 2x + Cx2
cos 2x + Ex2
sin 2x + Fx cos 2x + Gx sin 2x
9.178 Solve the differential equation of the previous problem.

cos 2x - 4Bx3
sin 2x + (12B - 4C)x2
cos 2x + (- 12,4 - 4£)x2

+ (6/1 + 8£ - 4F)x cos 2x + (65 - 8C - 4G)x sin 2x + (2C + 4G) cos 2x + (IE - 4F)sin 2x
Then substituting this and yp
into the given equation yields
12Bx2
cos 2x - 2Ax2
sin 2x + (6A + 8£)x cos 2x + (6B - SC)x sin 2x + (2C + 4G) cos 2x + (2£ - 4F) sin 2x

sin 2x
By equating coefficients of like terms, we find that A = —-fa, B = C = G = 0, £ = yg, and £ = ^.
Then yp

9.179 Solve (D2
+ 4)y = 8 sin 2x.
I The complementary solution is yc
= c t
cos 2x + c 2 sin 2x. For a particular solution we would normally try
A cos 2x + B sin 2x. However, since its terms appear in the complementary solution, we multiply by x to obtain
the particular solution yp
= x(A cos 2x + B sin 2x). Then, substituting in the given equation yields
—4A cos 2x — 4B sin 2x = 8 sin 2x, so that A = and B = — 2. Then the required general solution is
y = c t
cos 2x 4- c2 sin 2x — 2x sin 2x.
9.180 Determine the form of a particular solution to y" + 4y = 8x sin 2x.
I As in the previous problem, the complementary solution is yc
= c, cos 2x + c 2 sin 2x. We try a particular
solution of the form (A x
x + A ) sin 2x + (B x
x + B ) cos 2x because the right side of the given differential
equation is the product of a first-degree polynomial and sin 2x. But two of the summands in this trial solution
are identical in form with the summands in yc , so it must be modified. Multiplying by x, we get
yp
= (A 1
x2
+ Aqx) sin 2x + (B x
x2
+ B x) cos 2x, which has no terms in common with yc
and is therefore in
proper form.
9.181 Solve the differential equation of the previous problem.

Substituting this and yp
into the given differential equation and simplifying, we obtain
[(-8B,)x + (2A 1
- 4B )] sin 2x + [(8/t,)x + (4A + 25,)] cos 2x = 8x sin 2x
By equating the coefficients of like terms and solving the resulting system of equations, we find that
A x
= 0, A = j, B, — — 1, and B — 0. Combining these results with ye and yp
of the previous problem, we
form the general solution y = c, cos 2x + c 2 sin 2x + jx sin 2x — x2
cos 2x.
9.182 Solve y" + Ay = (8 - 16x) cos 2x.
I yc
and yp
of Problem 9.180 are valid here, as is y"
p
of the previous problem. Substituting yp
and y"
p
into the
given differential equation and simplifying, we get
[(-8B,)x + (2/1, -4B )]sin2x + [(8A x
)x + (4A + 2B,)]cos2x = -16xcos2x + 8cos2x
By equating coefficients of like terms and solving the resulting system of equations, we find that A x
= -2,
A = 2, B, = 0, and B = - 1. Combining these results with yc
and yp
of Problem 9.180, we form the
general solution y = (-2x2

9.183 Determine the form of a particular solution of x + 16x = (80r — 16) sin 4r.
f The complementary solution is xc
= cx
cos4f + c2 sin 4t (see Problem 8.57). We try a particular solution
of the form (A x
t + A )s'm4t H (B,f + B )cos4t, but since it contains summands which are identical in
form to the summands of xf , it must be modified. Multiplying by f, we get
xp

2

Since none of the summands of xp
is identical to a summand of x,. except perhaps for a multiplicative constant,
xp
is the proper form for a particular solution.
9.184 Solve the differential equation of the previous problem.

- 16B f + 2B,)cos4f
Then by substituting .v
p
and xp
into the given differential equation and simplifying, we get
[(-16B,)f + (2/1, -8B )]sin4f + [(164 ,)f + (8.4 + 2B,)] cos4f = (80f - 16)sin4f + (Or + 0)cos4r
Equating coefficients of like terms, we get a system of equations whose solution is A x
= 0, A — 1.25,
By— —5, and B = 2. Combining these results with xp
and xe
of the previous problem, we form the general
solution x = c, cos 4f + c 2
sin 4f + 1 .25f sin 4f + ( - 5f

9.185 Determine the form of a particular solution to x + 64x = 8f

cos 8f.
I The complementary solution is xe

sin 8f (see Problem 8.58). Since the right side of the
given differential equation is the product of a second-degree polynomial and a cosine term, we try a
particular solution of the form (A 2

t + /1 ) sin 8f + (B2 f

Two of the summands in this trial solution also appear in xc
for suitable choices of c, and c2, so it must be
modified. Multiplying by t, we get
Xp = (Ait* + A x

Since the summands of xp

solution has summands in common with xc , so it must be modified. We multiply it by the smallest positive
integral power of t that eliminates any duplication of terms of xf
—the first. Thus, we have
Xp = (A 3 t

particular solution of the form (A x

have

summands in common, so the trial solution must be modified. Multiplying it by x, we get
yp

Since each summand of yp

the roots are +i'2, each of multiplicity two. It follows from Problem 8.175 that the complementary function is
yc

Since the right side of the given differential equation is a first-degree polynomial times sin 2x, we try the
particular solution (A {

when Cj = B , c 2

c 3

Equating corresponding coefficients on both sides of the equation and solving the resulting system yield a = 2,

Corresponding to the polynomial x2

However, some of its terms appear in the complementary solution. Multiplying by x

yields ax4

which has no term that is in the complementary solution and so is the proper trial solution.
Similarly, corresponding to 3e

For xe5x

But this trial solution would have, disregarding multiplicative constants, the term e

(Note that we have used constants C and D in the last expression, since the constants A and B already have
been used.) We therefore take

Combining like terms we arrive at yp

10.5 Compare the method of variation of parameters to the method of undetermined coefficients.
f The method of variation of parameters can be applied to all linear differential equations. It is therefore
more powerful than the method of undetermined coefficients, which generally is restricted to linear differential
equations with constant coefficients and to particular forms of 0(x). Nonetheless, in those cases where both
methods are applicable, the method of undetermined coefficients is often the more efficient and, hence, the
preferable method, because no integration is involved. As a practical matter, the integration of v[{x) may be
impossible to perform.

10.6 Solve x dy/dx + v = In x, for x > 0, if y = 1/x is one solution of the associated homogeneous differential
equation x dy/dx + y = 0.
We first divide the nonhomogeneous differential equation by x, obtaining — + - y = - In x, which has the
dx x x
form of (7) in Problem 10.1; the lead coefficient is now unity. The complementary function is yc

we assume a particular solution of the form yp

With 4>(x) = - In x, it follows from Problem 10.4 that v - = - In x, so that v = In x. Then
x xx

10.84 Solve >•'" + / = sec x.

particular solution of the form yp
— v {

Here y, = 1, y2
— cos x, y 3
= sin x, and 0(x) = secx. It follows from Problem 10.2 that

3 cos x =
u',(0) + v'

Solving this set of equations simultaneously, we obtain v = secx, v'
2 = — 1, and v'
3 = — tanx. Thus,
i?! = Jsecx^x = ln|secx + tanx|, v2
= —dx=—x, and v 3

yields yp

10.85 Solve (D 3

The solution to this set of equations is v = esc x, v'

= -(cos x)/sin x, and v'
3 = - 1, from which we find
that p, = -ln|cscx + cotx|, v2
= -ln|sinx|, and v 3 =-x. Then substitution gives
yp

SPRING PROBLEMS
11.1 A steel ball weighing 128 lb is suspended from a spring, whereupon the spring stretches 2 ft from its natural
length. The ball is started in motion with no initial velocity by displacing it 6 in above the equilibrium position.
Assuming no air resistance, find the position of the ball at t = n 12 s.
i This is free, undamped motion. The differential equation governing the vibrations of the system is shown in
Problem 1.75 to be x + 16x = 0. Its solution (see Problem 8.57) is x — c, cos4f + c 2 sin4r, from which
we find v — x ~ — 4c, sin 4r + 4c2 cos At.
The initial conditions for this motion are x(0) = —£ft (the minus sign is required since the ball is initially
displaced above the equilibrium position, which is the negative direction) and r(0) = 0. Applying these
conditions to the equations for x and r, we obtain — 2
= x(0) = c, and = i(0) = 4c2 , respectively.
Therefore C, = — , c 2
= 0, and x = - 2 cos4f. At t = n/12, we have
x(7r;
12) = -£cos(4tt/12)= — i.
ft.
11.2 A spring for which k — 48 lb ft hangs vertically with its upper end fixed. A mass weighing 16 lb is attached to
the lower end. From rest, the mass is pulled down 2 in and released. Find the equation for the resulting motion
of the mass, neglecting air resistance.
f With m = 16 32 =J).5 slug and k = 48 lb ft. (7) of Problem 1.69 becomes x + 96x = 0, which has as its
solution x = C, sin N 96? + C2 cos N 96f (see Problem 8.61).
Differentiating with respect to t yields v = dx dt — x 96 (C, cos x 96f — C2
sin x 96/). _When t = we have
the initial conditions x = £ and r = 0. Then C2
— £, C1 =0, and x = ^cos N 96f.
11.3 A 20-lb weight suspended from the end of a vertical spring stretches it 6 in. Assuming no external forces and no
air resistance, find the position of the weight at any time if initially the weight is pulled down 2 in from its rest
position and released.
I From Hooke's law (see Problems 1.69 through 1.74). the spring constant k satisfies the equation k{) — 20
or k = 40 lb ft. With m = 20 32 slug. (/) of Problem 1.69 becomes x + 64x = 0. which has as its solution
x = C] cos 8f + c 2 sin St (see Problem 8.58).
Since x(0) = I and x(0) = 0. we have c, = ^ and c 2
— 0. Thus we have x = £cos8r.
11.4 Solve the previous problem if the weight is initially pulled down 3 in and given an initial velocity of 2 ft s
downward.
I As in the previous problem v = c ;
cos 8f + c 2
sin 8?. Now, however, x(0) — | ft and x(0) = 2 ft/s.
Applying these initial conditions, we find that
i = x(0) = Cj cos + c 2
sin = c, and 2 = x(0) = —8c, sin + 8c2 cos = 8c 2
Thus c,=c2
= 4; and x = |cos 8f + |sin 8f.
11.5 Determine the motion of a mass m attached to a spring suspended from a fixed mounting if the vibrations are
free and undamped.
I k
The differential equation governing such a system is found in Problem 1.70 to be x H— x = 0, where k is
the spring constant. The roots of its characteristic equation are /., = N —k m and /., = - N -k m, or. since
both k and m are positive, A, = i x k m and X2 = —iy/k m. Its solution is x = c, cos N k mt + c 2 sin N k mt.
Applying the initial conditions x(0) = x and r(0) = r . we obtain c, = x and c2
= t
oN m k. Thus
the solution becomes
x = x cos N k mt + i 0N m/k sin x k mt (I)

Determine the circular frequency, natural frequency, and period for the motion described in Problem 11.5.
I The motion described by (/) of Problem 11.5 is called simple harmonic motion. The circular frequency of such
motion is given by co = yfk/m.
The natural frequency, or number of complete oscillations per second, is f = co/2n — (l/2n)yjk/m.
The period of the motion, or the time required to complete one oscillation, is T = jf = 2nyjm/k.
Determine the circular frequency, natural frequency, and period for the vibrations described in Problem 11.1.
I In that problem, k — 64 lb/ft and m = 4 slugs. Using the formulas of the previous problem, we have
Circular frequency: co = yJ64/4 — 4 cycles per second = 4 Hz
Natural frequency: f — 4/2n = 21it Hz
Period: T = l/(2/n) = n/2 s
Determine the circular frequency, natural frequency, and period for the vibrations described in Problem 11.2.
I In that problem k — 48 lb/ft and m — 0.5 slug. Using the formulas of Problem 1 1.7, we have
Circular frequency: co = ^48/0.5 = 9.80 Hz
Natural frequency: f = 9.80/271 = 1.56 Hz
Period: T = 1/1.56 = 0.64 s
Determine the circular frequency, natural frequency, and period for the vibrations described in Problem 11.3.
f In that problem k = 40 lb/ft and m = 0.625 slug. Then co = V40/0.625 = 8 Hz; / = 8/2tt = 4/tt Hz;
and T = 1/(4/tt) = tc/4 s.
Write the displacement found in Problem 1 1.4 in the form x = A cos (cot — cp).
I We have k - 40 lb/ft, m = 0.625 slug,  - J ft. c = 2 ft/s, and o) - 8 Hz (from Problem 11.10).
Substituting these values into the formulas derived in Problem 1 1.6 yields A = V(i)

Write the displacement found in Problem 1 1.4 in the form x = A sin (cot + cp).
I Since A sin (cot + cp) = A sin cot cos cp + A sin cp cos cor and the displacement is x —  cos 8r +  sin 8r, we
must have co — 8, /I cos c/> = |, and A %'x ^> — . Squaring and adding give

A 20-g mass suspended from the end of a vertical spring stretches the spring 4 cm from its natural length.
Assuming no external forces on the mass and no air resistance, find the position of the mass at any time t if it is
pulled 1 cm below its equilibrium position and set into motion with an initial velocity of 0.5 cm/s in the upward
direction.
APPLICATIONS OF SECOND-ORDER LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS D 257
I By Hooke's law, the spring constant k satisfies the equation 20(980) = /c(4), so that k = 4900 dynes/cm. In
addition, m = 20 g, x = 1 cm, and v = -0.5 cm/s (the minus sign is required because the initial velocity
is in the upward or negative direction). Then from Problem 1.70 we have x + 245x = 0. The position of the
mass at any time t is given by (J) of Problem 11.5 as
x = cos y/l45t - 0.5^20/4900 sin ^245* = cos V245r - 0.03 1 94 sin J245t.
11.14 Determine the circular frequency, natural frequency, and period for the vibrations described in the previous
problem.
I Using the formulas of Problem 1 1.7, we have w = 74900/20 = 15.65 Hz; / = 15.65/2tt = 2.49 Hz; and
T = 1/2.49 = 0.40 s.
11.15 A 10-kg mass attached to a spring stretches it 0.7 m from its natural length. Assuming no external forces on the
mass and no air resistance, find the position of the mass as a function of time if it is pushed up 0.05 m from its
equilibrium position and set into motion with an initial velocity of 0.1 m/s in the upward direction.
f It follows from Problem 1.74 that k = 140 N/m. Then with m = 10 kg, x = -0.05 m, and
v — —0.1 m/s, the motion of the mass is given by (/) of Problem 11.5 as
x = - 0.05 cos Vl40/10r - 0. 1 VlO/140 sin Vl40/10r = - 0.05 cos yfl4t - 0.0267 sin yfAt
11.16 Find the amplitude and period of the vibrations described in the previous problem.

( 10/140) = 0.0567 m.
It follows from Problem 11.7 that the period is T = In^mjk = 2^^10/140 = 1.68 s.
11.17 A 10-kg mass attached to a spring stretches it 0.7 m from its natural length. The mass is started in motion from
the equilibrium position with an initial velocity of 1 m/s in the upward direction. Find the subsequent motion,
if the force due to air resistance is — 90x N.
I The differential equation governing the vibrations of this system is given in Problem 1.78 as
x + 9x -f 14x = 0, and we have the initial conditions x(0) = and x(0) = — 1. The solution to the

11.19 A mass of 1/4 slug is attached to a spring, whereupon the spring is stretched 1.28 ft from its natural length. The
mass is started in motion from the equilibrium position with an initial velocity of 4 ft/s in the downward
direction. Find the subsequent motion of the mass if the force due to air resistance is -2x lb.
f The differential equation governing the vibrations of this system is given in Problem 1.77 as
x + 8x + 25x = 0, and we have the initial conditions x(0) = and x(0) = 4. The solution to the differential

the roots are complex conjugates. The corresponding motions are, respectively, overdamped. critically damped,

11.24 A 20-lb weight suspended from the end of a vertical spring stretches the spring 6 in from its natural length.
Assume that the only external force is a damping force given in pounds by at. where v is the instantaneous

I With mg = 20, it follows that m = 20/32 = 0.625 slug; then from Hooke's law 20 = k(k) or

11.48 A 128-lb weight is attached to a spring having a spring constant of 64 lb/ft. The weight is started in motion with

weight an external force F{t) — 8 sin 4f. Assuming no air resistance, find the equation of motion of the weight.
f Here m = 4, k = 64, a = 0, and F(t) = 8 sin 4r; hence, (1) of Problem 1.69 becomes x + 16x = 2 sin At.

I As t increases, the term At sin 8f increases numerically without bound so that the amplitude of the motion
increases without bound. The spring will ultimately break. This illustrates the phenomenon of resonance and
shows what can happen when the frequency of the applied force is equal to the natural frequency of the system.

11.54 Describe the motion of the particle of the previous problem.
# The graph of the motion is shown in Fig. 11.3. It is simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 10 cm, a
period of n s, and a natural frequency of /n Hz. The particle starts out at x = 10 cm at time zero and begins
moving toward the origin, picking up speed as it moves. Its velocity is greatest in absolute value (i.e., its speed
is greatest) at time t = n/4, when the particle reaches the origin. The velocity is negative at that time, so
the particle continues through the origin; it begins slowing as its acceleration changes sign. The velocity reaches
zero at time t = n/2, when x = - 10. (Thus, at time t = n/2, the particle is at rest 10 cm to the left of
the origin.) The particle then begins picking up velocity as it is accelerated toward the origin. It reaches the
origin (x = 0) at t = 3n/4 with maximum speed. Once it is through the origin, its velocity decreases until it
again comes to rest at time t = n, now at x = 10. This completes one cycle of the motion; the particle will
continue to repeat that cycle in the absence of other forces.

11.69 Derive the differential equation for the deflection (bending) of a uniform (in material and shape) beam under
specified loadings.
I It is convenient to think of the beam as consisting of fibers running lengthwise. In the bent beam shown in
Fig. 1 1.6, the fibers of the upper half are compressed and those of the lower half are stretched, the two halves
being separated by a neutral surface whose fibers are neither compressed nor stretched. The fiber which originally
coincided with the horizontal axis of the beam now lies in the neutral surface along a curve called the elastic
curve (or curve of deflection). We seek the equation of this curve.
P(x.v) Fig. 11.6
11.70
Consider a cross section of the beam at a distance x from one end. Let AB be its intersection with the neutral
surface, and P its intersection with the elastic curve. It is shown in mechanics that the moment M with respect
to AB of all external forces acting on either of the two segments into which the beam is separated by the cross
EI
section is independent of the segment considered and is given by M = —, where E is the modulus of
R
elasticity of the beam, / is the moment of inertia of the cross section with respect to AB, and R is the radius of
curvative of the elastic curve at P.
For convenience, we think of the beam as being replaced by its elastic curve, and the cross section by point
P. We take the origin at the left end of the beam, with the x axis horizontal, and let P have coordinates (x, y).
Since the slope dy/dx of the elastic curve is numerically small at all points, we have, approximately,
R = [1 + (dy/dx)

so that M = El

The bending moment M at the cross section (or at point P of the elastic curve) is the algebraic sum of the
moments of the external forces acting on the segment of the beam (or segment of the elastic curve) about line
AB in the cross section (or about point P of the elastic curve). We assume that upward forces give positive
moments and downward forces give negative moments.
Find the bending moment at a distance x from the left end of a 30-ft beam resting on two vertical supports (see
Fig. 1 1.7) if the beam carries a uniform load of 200 lb per foot of length and a load of 2000 lb at its middle.

I The external forces acting on OP in Fig. 1 1.7 are an upward force at 0, x feet from P, equal to one-half the
total load, or }[2000 + 30(200)] = 4000 lb, and a downward force of 200x lb, which we assume is
concentrated at the middle of OP and thus ^x ft from P. The bending moment at P is then
M = 4000x - 200x(|x) = 4000x - 100x2
.
Show that the bending moment in the previous problem is independent of the segment used to compute it.
I Consider the forces acting on segment PR. They are (1) an upward force of 4000 lb at R, 30 - x ft from P; (2)
the load of 2000 lb acting downward at the middle of the beam, 15 - x ft from P; and (3) a force of
200(30 — x) lb downward, assumed to be concentrated at the middle of PR, |(30 — x) ft from P. Then the
total moment is, again,
M = 4000(30 - x) - 2000(15 - x) - 200(30 - x) •
|(30 - x) = 4000x - 100x 2

When < x < I [Fig. 11.9(a)], the forces acting on OP are an upward force of wl + {W lb at 0, x ft

x — / ft from P. The bending moment is then
M = (wl + {W)x - wx({x) - W(x -l) = wlx + {Wx - {wx2

BUOYANCY PROBLEMS
11.86 Determine a differential equation describing the vertical motion of a cylinder partially submerged in a liquid of
density p, under the assumption that the motion is not damped.
I Denote the radius of the cylinder as R, its height as H, and its weight as W. Archimedes' principle states that
an object that is submerged (either partially or totally) in a liquid is acted on by an upward force equal to the
weight of the liquid displaced.
Equilibrium occurs when the buoyant force upward on the cylinder is precisely equal to the weight of the
cylinder. Assume that the axis of the cylinder is vertical, denote it by y, and take the upward direction to be the
positive direction. At equilibrium, with the cylinder partially submerged, nR2
hp = W or h — W/nR2
p,
where h is the number of units of the cylinder's height that are submerged at equilibrium (see Fig. 11.15). Let
y(t) denote the distance from the surface of the water to the equilibrium position as if it were marked on the
cylinder. We adopt the convention that y{t) > if the equilibrium position on the cylinder is above the
surface, and yt) < if it is below the surface.

11.87 In the notation of the previous problem, discuss what happens when W > nR2

i If the weight W of the cylinder is greater than the buoyant force generated when the entire cylinder is
submerged, then the cylinder must sink to the bottom of the liquid.

I The required result follows at once, since
c^o se € -oo se €-o  2! /
It also follows by use of L'Hospital's rule.
Mathematically speaking, lim f€(t) does not exist, so that £f {im fe
{t)} is not defined. Nevertheless it proves
useful to consider S(t) — lim/e(f) to be such that J&?{<5(f)} = 1. We call d(t) the Dirac delta function or impulse

12.30 Prove that if n is a positive integer, then T(h + 1) — n.
I The proof is by induction. First we consider n = 1. Using Problem 12.28 with p = 1 and then Problem
12.29, we have T(l + 1) = 1T(1) = 1(1) =1 = 1!.
Next we assume that T(n + 1) = n holds for n = k and then try to prove its validity for n = k + 1.
From Problem 12.28 with p — k + 1 and using the induction hypothesis, we have
T[(fc + 1) + 1] = (k + l)r(it + 1) = (k + l)(k!) = (/c + 1)!
Thus, r(rc + 1) = n! is true by induction.
Note that we can now use this equality to define 0!; that is, 0! = T(0 + 1) = T(l) = 1.
12.31 Prove that T(p + k + 1) = (p + k)(p + k - 1) • •
(p + 2)(p + l)T(p + 1).
I Using Problem 12.28 repeatedly, where p is replaced first by p + k, then by p + k — 1, and so on, we
obtain
r(p + k + 1) = r[(p + /c) + i] = (p + fcjr(p + *)
=(p + /c)r[(p + /c - i) + i] = (p + k)(p + k- i)r(p + * - i) = • •

I The graph of this function is shown in Fig. 12.1. Using the unit step function (see Problem 12.22). we can write
/(f) = 1 + u(t - 1) + 2u(t - 3) - 6u(t - 4). It then follows from linearity that

I Since ¥~ x
{F{s) —f(x) if and onlv if £f{f(x)} = F(s), every formula generated in Chapter 12 for a
Laplace transform automatically provides us with a formula for an inverse Laplace transform. We have, for

PARTIAL-FRACTION DECOMPOSITIONS
13.56 Develop the method of partial-fraction decomposition.
f Every function of the form v(s)/w(s), where v(s) and w(s) are polynomials in s, can be reduced to the sum
of other fractions such that the denominator of each new fraction is either a first-degree or a quadratic
polynomial raised to some power. The method requires only that (1) the degree of v(s) be less than the degree
of w(s) (if this is not the case, first perform long division, and consider the remainder term) and (2) w(s) be
factored into the product of distinct linear and quadratic polynomials raised to various powers.
The method is carried out as follows: To each factor of w(s) of the form (s — a)
m
, assign a sum of m
fractions, of the form
^1 ^2 i ... i
m
s-a (s- a)
2
(s - a)
m
To each factor of w(s) of the form (s
2
+ bs + c)
p
, assign a sum of p fractions, of the form
BlS + Cx
B2 s + C2 Bp
s + Cp
s
2
+ bs + c (s
2
+ bs + c)
2
(s
2
+ bs + c)
p
where Ah Bj, and Ck (i = 1, 2, . .
.
, m;j, k = 1, 2, . .
. , p) are constants which still must be determined.
Set the original fraction t;(s)/w(s) equal to the sum of the new fractions just constructed. Clear the resulting
equation of fractions, and then equate coefficients of like powers of s, thereby obtaining a set of simultaneous
linear equations in the unknown constants At
, Bj, and Ck
. Finally, solve these equations for Ah Bj, and Ck
.
13.57 Use partial fractions to decompose r .

Equating coefficients of like powers of s, we conclude that A + B — 0, B + C — 0, and A + C — 1. The
solution of this set of equations is A — , B = — , and C = j. Substituting these values into (/), we obtain

The following is an alternative procedure for finding the constants A, B, and C in (7): Since (2) must hold
for all s, it must in particular hold for s = — 1. Substituting this value into (2), we immediately find
A = . Equation (2) must also hold for s = 0. Substituting this value along with A =  into (2), we
obtain C = . Finally, substituting any other value of s into (2), we find that B = —.

A function /(x) is analytic at x if its Taylor series about x , Y , converges to f(x) in some

15.2 What is an ordinary point for the differential equation b2 (x)y" + b^xty + b (x)y = 0?
f If we divide by b2 (x), we transform the differential equation to the standard form y" + P(x)y' + Q(x)y = 0,
where P(x) = b l
(x)/b 2 (x) and Q(x) = b (x)/b 2 (x). A point x is an ordinary point if both P(x) and Q(x) are
analytic at x . If either P(x) or Q(x) is not analytic at x , then x is a singular point.
15.3 Define "regular singular point" for the differential equation of the previous problem.
I The point x is a regular singular point for the differential equation in standard form y" + P(x)y' + Q(x)y —
if x is a singular point (see the previous problem) and the products (x — x )P(x) and (x — x )

Q(x) are
both analytic at x . Singular points which are not regular are called irregular.

P(x) = bQ(x)/b 1

ordinary point. It is a singular point. Since (x — l)P(x) = x/(x +1) is analytic at x = 1 (see Problem 15.33)
and (x — )

Q{x) — — 1 is also analytic at x = 1. it follows that x — 1 is a regular singular point.

This differential equation has the standard form y" —=/ = 0, with P(x) = — 2x/(x — l)

Q(x) — 0. Since P(l) in undefined, P(x) does not have a Taylor series at x = 1 and is not analytic there.
Therefore, x = 1 is not an ordinary point. Furthermore, (x — l)P(x) = — 2x/(x — 1) also does not have a
Taylor series around x = 1, so x = 1 is not a regular singular point; it is an irregular singular point.

a Maclaurin-series expansion that converges in some interval centered at x = (see Problems 15.7 and 15.8),
e~

15.43 Determine whether x = is an ordinary point for y" — (In x)y — 0.
f This differential equation is in standard form, with P(.x) = In x and Q(x) = 0. Since P(0) is undefined,
P(x) does not possess a Maclaurin-series expansion and is not analytic at x = 0. Accordingly, x = is not
an ordinary point. In addition, xP(x) is also undefined at x = 0, so x = is not a regular singular point.
15.44 Determine whether x = 2 is an ordinary point for the differential equation of the previous problem.
I P(x) does have a Taylor-series expansion around x = 2 that converges in an interval centered at
x = 2 (see Problems 15.14 and 15.15); thus, P(x) is analytic there. Q(x) = is analytic everywhere, including
at x = 2, so x = 2 is an ordinary point.

This differential equation has the standard form y + -y y H y = 0. Since 2/t

each a rational function (that is, a polynomial divided by a polynomial), and since neither denominator is
zero at t — 1, both functions are analytic there. Thus, t = 1 is an ordinary point. (The Taylor-series

15.49 Determine whether x = — 1 is an ordinary point for the differential equation of the previous problem.
I Both P(x) and Q(x) are rational functions with nonzero denominators at x = — 1. Thus both functions are
analytic there, so x = — 1 is an ordinary point.
15.50 Determine whether x = is an ordinary point for y" — xy' + 2y = 0.
I Here P(x) = — x and Q(x) = 2 are both polynomials and so are analytic everywhere. Therefore, every

I We first put the differential equation into standard form by dividing by x2

Q(x) — l/(x

— 4). Since both P(x) and Q(x) are analytic at x = 1, this point is an ordinary point. At
x = 2, however, the denominator of Q(x) is zero; hence Q(x) is not analytic there. Thus, x — 2 is not an
ordinary point but a singular point.
Note that (x - 2)P(x) = and (x - 2)

Q(x) = (x - 2)/(x + 2) are analytic at x = 2, so that x = 2
is a regular singular point.

. As neither function is analytic at
x = (both denominators are zero there), x = is not an ordinary point but, rather, a singular point.
Note that (x - 0)P(x) = |(x + 1) and (x - 0)

x = is not a regular singular point either; it is an irregular singular point.

15.66 Find a recursion formula for the coefficients of the general power-series solution near f = of y — y = Q.
I Since this equation has constant coefficients, every point is an ordinary point. We assume a solution of the
form y(t) = X a„t", from which we obtain y = ]T na„t"~
l
and y = X n(n - l)a„t"'
2
. Substitution in the
n = n=0 n=0
differential equation then yields
X n(n-)a„t"- 2 - £ a„t" =
n=0 n=0
Since the powers of t in these two series are not the same, we must relabel the summation index so as to combine
the two series into one. Replacing n by n — 2 in the second series, we get
X n(n — l)an t"
2

n ~ 2

n-0 n=2
first two terms in the first series are zero, we can add the two series term by term to obtain
^ [/i(/i — )a„ — an _ 2 ]t
n " 2

Note that, following the second equal sign, the summation index of two of the series was changed by replacing
n with n - 2. This was done to obtain f"

15.103 Show that whenever p is a positive integer, one solution of Legendre's equation near x = is a polynomial
of degree n.
I The recursion formula of the previous problem contains the factor p — n. It follows that when n = p,
ap+2 = 0. The recursion formula then implies that ap+4.
= ap+6 — ap + 8
— • • = 0. Thus, if p is odd, all odd
coefficients a„ (n > p) are zero; if p is even, all even coefficients an (n > p) are zero. Thus, one of the
bracketed quantities in the solution to the previous problem (depending on whether p is even or odd) will contain
only a finite number of terms up to and including xp
; hence it will be a polynomial of degree p.
Since a and a y
are arbitrary constants, we may choose a x
— when p is even and a = when p is odd.
If, in addition, we choose the other constant to satisfy the condition y(l) = 1, then the resulting solution is
a Legendre polynomial of degree n. The first few Legendre polynomials are

15.105 Discuss alternative procedures for obtaining the power-series expansion of the general solution of
y" + P(x)y' + Q(x)y = near a nonzero ordinary point.
f If x ^0 is an ordinary point, then the power-series expansion of the general solution has the form
y = £ a„(x — x )". The undetermined coefficients a 2 , a 3 , a4 , . . . may be obtained in terms of a and a x
by
)l =
substituting y and its derivatives into the given differential equation and then equating coefficients of like powers
of (x - x ).
An alternative approach, which often simplifies the algebra, is to first translate the axis so that x becomes the
origin. This is effected by setting t — x — x and substituting into the original differential equation. Under this

substitution, - = —-— = —-(1) = —- and

The solution of the differential equation that results can be obtained as a power-series expansion about f = 0.
Then the solution of the original equation is obtained by substituting for t.

I This equation is in standard form. Since P(x) = x and Q(x) = 2x — 1 are polynomials, both are analytic
everywhere, which implies that every point, including x = — 1, is an ordinary point. Using the transformations

  • 7. To the Student This collection of solved problems covers analytical techniques for solving differential equations. It is meant to be used as both a supplement for traditional courses in differential equations and a reference book for engineers and scientists interested in particular applications. The only prerequisite for understanding the material in this book is calculus. The material within each chapter and the ordering of chapters are standard. The book begins with methods for solving first-order differential equations and continues through linear differential equations. In this latter category we include the methods of variation of parameters and undetermined coefficients, Laplace transforms, matrix methods, and boundary-value problems. Much of the emphasis is on second-order equations, but extensions to higher-order equations are also demonstrated. Two chapters are devoted exclusively to applications, so readers interested in a particular type can go directly to the appropriate section. Problems in these chapters are cross-referenced to solution procedures in previous chapters. By utilizing this referencing system, readers can limit themselves to just those techniques that have value within a particular application.

Hence, of the reacting substances only the ethyl acetate suffers a measurable change in concentration. A chemical reaction of this sort, in which the concentration of only one reacting substance changes, is called a first-order reaction. It is a law of physical chemistry that the rate at which a substance is used up in a first-order reaction is proportional to the amount of that substance instantaneously present.

Use Hooke's law along with Newton's second law of motion to derive the differential equation governing the motion of the following system: A spring with a mass m attached to its lower end is suspended vertically from a mounting and allowed to come to rest in an equilibrium position. The system is then set in motion by releasing the mass with an initial velocity v at a distance x below its equilibrium position and simultaneously applying to the mass an external force F(t) in the downward direction. f For convenience, we choose the downward direction as the positive direction and take the origin to be the center of gravity of the mass in the equilibrium position (see Fig. 1.1). Furthermore, we assume that air resistance is present and is proportional to the velocity of the mass. Thus, at any time r, there are three forces acting on the system: (1) F(r), measured in the positive direction; (2) a restoring force given by Hooke's law as Fs = —kx, where k > is a constant of proportionality known as the spring constant; and (3) a force due to air resistance given by Fa — —ax, where a > is a constant of proportionality. Note that the restoring force Fs always acts in a direction that will tend to return the system to the equilibrium position: if the mass is below the equilibrium position, then x is positive and —kx is negative; whereas if the mass is above the equilibrium position, then x is negative and —kx is positive. Also note that because a > the force Fa due to air resistance acts in the direction opposite the velocity and thus tends to retard, or damp, the motion of the mass. It now follows from Newton's second law that mx = —kx — ax + F(t), or - J. a --l* F{t) m x - xH x = (/) m m m Since the system starts at t — with an initial velocity r and from an initial position x , we have along with (7) the initial conditions x(0) = x and x(0) = v . The force of gravity does not explicitly appear in (/), but it is present nonetheless. We automatically compensated for this force by measuring distance from the equilibrium position of the spring. If one wishes to exhibit gravity explicitly, then distance must be measured from the bottom end of the natural length of the spring. That is, the motion of a vibrating spring can be given by a k F(t) x -—xH—x = g H mm m if the origin, x = 0, is the terminal point of the unstretched spring before the mass m is attached.

What is the value of the spring constant? / The applied force responsible for the 2-ft displacement is the weight of the ball, 128 lb. Thus, F = — 128 lb.

What is the value of the spring constant? f The applied force responsible for the 8-ft displacement is the 32-lb weight. At equilibrium, this force is balanced by the restoring force of the spring, so by Hooke's law — 32 = — /c(8), or k = 4 lb/ft. 1.73 A mass of 1/4 slug is attached to a spring, whereupon the spring stretches 1.28 ft from its natural length. What is the value of spring constant? f The applied force responsible for the 1.28-ft displacement is the weight of the attached body, which is (l/4)(32) = 8 lb. At equilibrium, this force is balanced by the restoring force of the spring, so by Hooke's law -8 = -fc(1.28), or k = 6.25 lb/ft. 1.74 A 10-kg mass is attached to a spring, stretching it 0.7 m from its natural length. What is the value of the spring constant? I The applied force responsible for the 0.7-m displacement is the weight of the attached body, which is 10(9.8) = 9.8 N. At equilibrium, this force is balanced by the restoring force of the spring, so by Hooke's law -98 = k{0.1), from which k = 140 N/m. 1.75 A steel ball weighing 128 lb is suspended from a spring, whereupon the spring stretches 2 ft from its natural length.

The spring constant was determined in Problem 1.71 to be k = 64 lb/ft; the weight of the ball is mg — 128 lb, so m — 128/32 = 4 slugs. With these values, the result of Problem 1.70 becomes x + (64/4)x = 0, or x -I- 16x = 0. In addition, we have the initial conditions x(0) = — 1/2 ft (the minus sign is required because the ball is initially displaced above the equilibrium position, which is in the negative direction) and x(0) = 0.

Derive a differential equation governing the subsequent vibrations of the spring if the air offers negligible resistance. I This is an example of free, undamped motion. The spring constant is 4 lb/ft (see Problem 1.72), and m = 32/32 = 1 slug. The result of Problem 1.70 becomes x + 4x = 0.

GEOMETRICAL PROBLEMS 1.94 Derive a differential equation for the orthogonal trajectories of the one-parameter family of curves in the xy plane defined by F(x, y, c) = 0, where c denotes the parameter. I The orthogonal trajectories consist of a second family of curves having the property that each curve in this new family intersects at right angles every curve in the original family. Thus, at every point of intersection, the slope of the tangent of each curve in the new family must be the negative reciprocal of the slope of the tangent of each curve in the original family. To get the slope of the tangent, we differentiate F(x, y. c) = implicitly with respect to x, and then eliminate c by solving for it in the equation F(x, y, c) — and substituting for it in the derived equation.

Since y(x) does not satisfy the differential equation anywhere, it is not a solution. 2.2 Determine whether y(x) — 5 is a solution of y' + y — 0. I Differentiating y(x), we get y'{x) = 0. Then y' + y = + 5 = 5 ^ 0. Since y(x) does not satisfy the differential equation anywhere, it is not a solution. 2.3 Determine whether y{x) = cos x is a solution to y' + y = 0. # Differentiating y(x), we get y'(x) = — sin x. Then y' + y = — sin x + cos x, which is not identically zero on any interval. Because y(x) does not satisfy the differential equation on any interval, it is not a solution. Note that y + y is zero wherever sin x = cos x, which occurs at infinitely many discrete points. There is, however, no interval on which sin x = cos x, so there is no interval on which the differential equation is satisfied. 2.4 Determine whether y — 3e' x is a solution of y' + y — O. I Differentiating y(x), we get y'{x)=—3e~ x . Then y' + y = -3e~ x + 3e~ x = 0.

Then y' + y = — 5e~ x + 5e~ x = 0. Thus y(x) = 5e~ x satisfies the differential equation for all values of x and is a solution on the interval ( — oo, oo). 2.6 Show that y(x) = Ce~ x is a solution of y' + y = on the interval ( — oo, oo) for any arbitrary constant C. f Differentiating y(x), we get y'(x) = — Ce~ x .

Thus y(x) does not satisfy the differential equation anywhere and is not a solution. 2.8 Determine whether y = e x is a solution of y' + y 2 = 0. f Differentiating y(x), we get y'(x) = e x . Then y' + y 2 = e x + (e x ) 2 = e x + e 2x ^ 0. Thus y(x) does not satisfy the differential equation anywhere and is not a solution. 2.9 Determine whether y — —x is a solution of y' + y 2 = 0. f Differentiating y(x), we get y'(x) = — 1. Then y + y 2 = - 1 + (-x)2 = x2 - 1, which is not identically zero on any interval. Since y(x) does not satisfy the differential equation on any interval, it is not a solution. Note that x2 — 1 is zero at ± 1; but for y(x) to be a solution, x2 — 1 would have to be zero on some interval—and that is not the case. 2.10 Determine whether y = 1/x is a solution of y' + y 2 = 0. 1 /A2 f Differentiating y(x), we get y'(x) = - 1/x 2 .

Then y" + 4y = —4 sin 2x + 4(sin 2x) = 0, so y = sin 2x is a solution to the differential equation everywhere. 2.17 Determine whether y = 2 sin x is a solution of y" + y = 0. f Differentiating y, we obtain y' = 2cosx and y"=— 2sinx. Then y" + 4y = —2 sin x 4- 4(2 sin x) = 6 sin x, which is zero only for integral multiples of n. Since 6 sin x is not identically zero on any interval, y = 2 sinx is not a solution to the differential equation. 2.18 Determine whether y = 2cos2x is a solution of y" + y = 0. I Differentiating y, we find y'=— 4sin2x and y"=— 8cos2x. Then y" + y = —8 cos 2x + 4(2 cos 2x) = 0, so y = 2 cos 2x is a solution to the differential equation everywhere. 2.19 Determine whether y(x) = is a solution of y" + 4y = 0. I For the identically zero function, y' = y" = 0; hence y" + 4y = + 4(0) = 0. It follows that y(x) is a solution to this differential equation everywhere. 2.20 Show that y(x) = Cj sin 2x + c2 cos 2x is a solution of y" + 4y = for all values of the arbitrary constants Ci and c2 . I Differentiating y, we find y' = 2c x cos 2x — 2c2 sin 2x and y" = — 4c x sin 2x — 4c2 cos 2x Hence, y" + 4y = ( — 4c v sin 2x — 4c2 cos 2x) + 4{c x sin 2x + c2 cos 2x) = (— 4c j + 4c x )sin2x + ( — 4c2 + 4c2 )cos2x = Thus, y = Cj sin 2x + c 2 cos 2x satisfies the differential equation for all values of x and is a solution on the interval ( — oo, oo). 2.21 Determine whether y = e~ 2t is a solution of y — 4y — 4y + 16y = 0.

Then y-4y-4y + 6y = Se 2t - 4(4e 2 ') - 4(2e 21 ) + 16(e 2 ') = Since y satisfies the differential equation everywhere, it is a solution everywhere. 2.23 Determine whether v = e 3f is a solution of y — 4y — 4y + 16v = 0. f Differentiating y(t) — e 3 ', we obtain y — 3e 3 ', y = 9e 3 ', and y = 21e 3t . Then y-4y-4y + ify = 27e 3' - 4(9<? 3 ') - 4(3e 3 ') + 16(e 3 ') = -5e3 ' # Therefore, v is not a solution. 2.24 Determine whether y = e 4' is a solution of y — 4y — 4y + 16y = 0. # Differentiating y(r) = e 4', we obtain 3; = 4e 4t , y = 16e 4f , and y = 64e 4'. Then y- 4y>- 4y + 16y = 64e 4' - 4(16e 4f ) - 4(4e 4 ') + 16(e 4r ) = Thus y(t) is a solution everywhere. 2.25 Determine whether y = — 0.5e 4' is a solution of y — 4y — 4y + 16y = 0.

Then x — 2x — — 2 — 2(—t) = t — , which is never equal to t, the right-hand side of the differential equation. Therefore, x(t) is not a solution. 2.28 Determine whether x(t) = — is a solution of x — 2x = t. I Differentiating x(t), we get x = 0, so x — 2x = — 2(— |) = . This is equal to t, the right-hand side of the differential equation, only when t — . Since x(t) does not satisfy the differential equation on any interval, it is not a solution. 2.29 Determine whether x(t) = —jt — { is a solution of x — 2x = t.

I Differentiating x(t), we get x = 2Ae2 ', so x - 2.x = 2Ae2 ' - 2Ae2 ' = 0. This is equal to t, the right-hand side of the differential equation, only at f = 0. Since x(t) satisfies the differential equation only at a single point, it is not a solution anywhere. 2.31 Determine whether x(t) = -t - + Ae2 ' is a solution of x - 2x = t for any value of the arbitrary constant A. I Differentiating x(t), we obtain x = - + 2Ae2t . Then x - 2x = - + 2Ae2 ' - 2(—|f - | + Ae2 ') = t so x(t) is a solution everywhere. 2.32 Determine whether y(x) — 2e ~ x + xe~ x is a solution of y" + 2/ + y = 0. 1 Differentiating y(x), we obtain y'(x) = — 2e~ x + e~ x — xe~ x — —e~x — xe~ x and y"(x) — e~ x — e~ x + xe~ x — xe~ x Substituting these values into the differential equation gives y" + 2/ + y = xe~ x + 2{-e' x - xe~ x ) + (2e x + xe' x ) = Thus, y(x) is a solution everywhere. 2.33 Determine whether y(x) =1 is a solution of y" + 2y' + y = x. I From y(v) = 1 it follows that y'(x) = and y"(x) = 0. Substituting these values into the differential equation, we obtain y" + 2y' + y — + 2(0) + 1 = 1 # x. Thus, y(x) = 1 is not a solution. 2.34 Show that y(x) = is the only solution of (y') 2 + y 2 —0 on the entire interval ( — oo, oo). I By direct substitution, we find that r() = satisfies the differential equation identically for all values of x in ( — oo, oo) and is, therefore, a solution. Any other function must be nonzero at some point (otherwise it would not be different from the given function), and at such a point its square must be positive. Therefore, for such a function, the left side of the differential equation must be positive at that point, because it is a sum of squares; it then cannot equal zero, the right side of the differential equation. It follows that any nonzero function cannot satisfy the differential equation at some point on ( — oo, oo) and thus cannot be a solution over the entire interval. 2.35 Determine whether y = x 2 — 1 is a solution of ( y')4 + y 2 = — 1. I Note that the left side of the differential equation must be nonnegative for every real function y(x) and any x, since it is the sum of terms raised to the second and fourth powers, while the right side of the equation is negative. Since no function y(x) will satisfy this equation, the given differential equation has no solution. 2.36 Show that y = In x is a solution of xy" + y — on J = (0, x) but is not a solution on J = ( — oo, oo)r I On (0, oo) we have y' = 1/x and y" — — 1/x 2 . Substituting these values into the differential equation, we obtain ^+ y _,(_»,) + I_0 Thus, y = In x is a solution on (0, x). However, y = In x cannot be a solution on ( — x, x) because the logarithm is undefined for negative numbers and zero. 2.37 Show that y = l/(x 2 - 1) is a solution of y' + 2xy 2 = on J = (— 1, 1), but not on any larger interval containing J. I On (-1,1), y = l/(x 2 - 1) and its derivative y' = —2x/(x 2 — l) 2 are well-defined functions. Substituting these values into the differential equation, we have " +2x" i= -(^w +2x (i?yf =o

PRIMITIVES 2.38 Explain what is meant by a primitive associated with a differential equation. f A primitive associated with a differential equation of order n is a primitive (see Problem 1.107) that contains n arbitrary constants and is a solution of the differential equation. 2.39 Show that y = Cx sin x + C2 x is a primitive associated with the differential equation d 2 y dy dx2 dx (1 — x cot x) ^-j — x -—h y — 0. # We substitute y = Cj sin x + C2 x, y' = C x cos x + C2 , and >'" = — C, sin x in the differential equation to obtain (1 — xcotx)( — C sinx) — x(C t cosx + C2 ) + {C x sinx + C2 x) = — C] sin x + C x x cos x — C x x cos x — C2 x + C t sin x + C2 x = so y is a solution. In addition, the order of the differential equation (2) equals the number of arbitrary constants. 2.40 Show that y = C x e x + C2 xex + C3 e~ x + 2x 2 e x is a primitive associated with the differential equation ^l - ^-1 - Q. + = Se x dx3 dx2 dx I We have y = Cx e x + C2 xe x + Ci e~ x + 2x2 e x y = (C, + C2 )e x + C2 xe x - C3 e~ x + 2x2 e x + 4x^ y" = (C t + 2C2)e x + C2 xex + Ci e~ x + 2x2 e x + 8xe x + 4e x and /" = (C, + 3C2 )f x + C2 xe x - C3 ^" x + 2x 2 e x + 12xex + 12e x and y'" — y" — y' + y = 8e x .

I Substituting y = A and its derivative y' = into the left side of the differential equation, we obtain v' + y = + A — A, which equals 0, the right side of the differential equation, only if A — 0. If A # 0, then y = A is not a solution. Since y — A is not a solution for arbitrary A, y is not a primitive. 2.48 Determine whether y = Ax is a primitive for y - 3y = 0. f Substituting y = /lx and y' = ,4 into the left side of the differential equation, we obtain y' — 3y — A — 3 Ax = A(l — 3.x). If y = Ax is a primitive, it must satisfy the differential equation for all values of A. Thus, A(l — 3x) must be zero for all A, but it is zero only when x = j. That means y = Ax does not satisfy the differential equation on any interval; for that reason it is not a solution and. therefore, not a primitive. 2.49 Determine whether v = Cx + 2C2 is a primitive for 2| — ) + x — - y = 0. dxj dx m The derivative of y is = C. Then 2 (V) +*-^--y = 2C2 + xC - (Cx + 2C2 ) = flx/ ax so y is a solution for all values of the arbitrary constant C.

The primitive represents a family of straight lines, and clearly the equation of a parabola cannot be obtained by manipulating the arbitrary constant C. (A solution that cannot be generated from a primitive is called a singular solution of the differential equation.) 2.52 Determine graphically a relationship between the primitive y — Cx — C2 and the singular solution y = x2 /4 of the differential equation y = xy' — (y) 2 . I Referring to Fig. 2.1, we see that y = Cx — C2 represents a family of straight lines tangent to the parabola y = x2 /4. The parabola is the envelope of the family of straight lines.

A first-order differential equation is separable if it can be expressed in the form dx B(y) is a function only of x, and B(y) is a function only of y.

Initially there are 250 bacteria, and after seven hours 800 bacteria are observed in the culture. Find an expression for the approximate number of bacteria present in the culture at any time t. I The differential equation governing this system was determined in Problem 1.53 to be dN/dt = kN, where N(t) denotes the number of bacteria present and k is a constant of proportionality. Its solution is N — ce*' (see Problem 5.8). At t — 0, we are given N = 250. Applying this initial condition, we get 250 = ce* (0) = c, so the solution becomes N = 250e'".

After 1 h, the amount present is N = 2N ; applying this condition and solving for k, we find 2N = N e Ml so that e k = 2 and k = In 2 = 0.693. Thus, the amount of yeast present at any time t is N = N e - 693 '. After 2.75 h the amount will be N = N e° - 693 < 2 - 75 » = 6J2N . This represents a 6.72-fold increase over the original amount. 6.13 The rate at which yeast cells multiply is proportional to the number present.

If initially there is 100 mg of the material present and if after 2 years it is observed that 5 percent of the original mass has decayed, find an expression for the mass at any time t. I Let N(t) denote the amount of material present at time t. The differential equation governing this system is dN/dt — kN, and its solution is N — ce*' (see Problem 5.8). At t — 0, we are given TV — 100. Applying this initial condition, we get 100 = ce k{0) = c. Thus, the solution becomes TV = lOOe*'. At t = 2, 5 percent of the original mass of 100 mg, or 5 mg, has decayed. Hence, at t — 2, N{2) — 100 — 5 = 95. Substituting this condition in the equation TV = lOOe*" and solving for k, we get 1 95 95 = 100e k(2) , or k = - In —— = —0.0256. The amount of radioactive material present at any time t is, 2 100 therefore, TV = lOOe" 00256' f in years (7) 6.18 In the previous problem, determine the time necessary for 10 percent of the original mass to decay. I We require t when JV has decayed to 90 percent of its original mass. Since the original mass was 100 mg, we seek the value of t corresponding to N = 90. Substituting TV - 90 into (7) of the previous problem gives us 90= lOOe" 00256', so that -0.0256r = In 0.9, and t = -(In 0.9)/0.0256 = 4.12 years. 6.19 A certain radioactive material is known to decay at a rate proportional to the amount present. If initially there is 50 mg of the material present and after 2 h it is observed that the material has lost 10 percent of its original mass, find an expression for the mass of the material remaining at any time t. I Let N denote the amount of material present at time t. Then dN/dt - kN = and, as in Problem 6.17, N = ce**. At t = 0, we are given N = 50. Therefore, 50 = ce k(0 or c = 50. Thus, we now have N = 50e*'. At t = 2, 10 percent of the original mass of 50 mg, or 5 mg, has decayed. Hence, at t = 2, TV = 50 - 5 = 45. Substituting these values into the last equation and solving for k, we get 45 = 50e 2fc , or k = - In — = -0.053.

Substituting N = 25 into (7) of Problem 6.19 and solving for t, we find 25 = 50e~ 0053', so that -0.053t = ln| and t= 13 h. (The time required to reduce a decaying material to one-half its original mass is called the half-life of the material. For this material the half-life is 13 h.) 6.22 A certain radioactive material is known to decay at a rate proportional to the amount present. If after 1 h it is observed that 10 percent of the material has decayed, find the half-life of the material. f Let N(t) denote the amount of the material present at time f. Then dN/dt — kt, where k is a constant of proportionality. The solution to this equation is given in Problem 5.8 as N — ce k '. If we designate the initial mass as NQ , then N = NQ at t — 0, and we have NQ = ce* (0) = c. Thus, the solution becomes N = N e kt . At t — 1, 10 percent of the original mass 7V has decayed, so 90 percent remains. Hence N = 0.9N at t = 1. Substituting this condition and solving for k, we get 0.9A = N e kn) , from which 0.9 — e k , and k = In 0.9 = —0.105.

If initially g of the material is present and 0.1 percent of the original mass has decayed after 1 week, find an expression for the mass at any time f. f Let N(t) denote the amount of material present at time f. Then dN/dt = kt, where k is a constant of proportionality, and the solution to this equation is N = ce kI (see Problem 5.8). Since N = at t = 0, we have — ce kW = c, so the solution becomes N = d*. If we take the time unit to be 1 week, then 0.1 percent of the initial mass has decayed at t = 1, and 99.9 percent remains. Thus, at t = 1, we have N = 0.999(|) = 0.4995 g. Applying this condition to the last equation, we get 0.4995 = eHl from which e* = 0.999, so that k = In 0.999 = -0.001.

At t = 0, P - 700; hence 700 = ce 0015{0) = c, and the solution becomes P = 700? 0075'. At the end of 6 years, the account will have grown to P = 700e° 075,6) = $1097.82. This amount also represents the beginning balance for the 4-year period. Over the next 4 years, the growth of the account is governed by the differential equation dP dt = 0.0825P, which has as its solution P - Ce00825' (6 < f < 10). At t = 6, P - 1097.82: hence 1097.82 - Ce° 0825 «», and C - 1097.82e"° 495 - 669.20. The solution thus becomes P = 669.20*?° ° 825 ', and at year 10 the account will have grown to P = 669.20?° 0825 < 10 > = $1527.03. 6.46 How long will it take a bank deposit to double if interest is compounded continuously at a constant rate of 4 percent per annum? I The differential equation governing the growth of the account is dP/dt — 0.04P (see Problem 1.57); this equation has as its solution P = ce 00*'. If we denote the initial deposit as P , we have P = ce° •° 4, ° ) = c, and the solution becomes P = P e° °4'. We seek t corresponding to P = 2P . Substituting this value into the last equation and solving for f, we obtain 2P - P e° ° 4', from which t = °| o) = 17.33 years. 6.47 How long will it take a bank deposit to double if interest is compounded continuously at a constant rate of 8 percent per annum? I With this new interest rate, the solution derived in the previous problem becomes P = P e° ° 8 '. We seek t corresponding to 2P ; hence we write 2P = P e° ° 8 '. so that 2 = e° ° 8 ' and t = (In 2)/0.08 = 8.66 years. 6.48 A woman plans to place a single sum in a certificate of deposit account with a guaranteed interest rate of 6^ percent for 5 years. How much should she deposit if she wants the account to be worth $25,000 at the end of the 5-year period? t The differential equation governing the growth of this account was determined in Problem 1.57 and is dP/dt = 0.0625 P; its solution is P = ce 00625t . Since we want P = 25.000 at t = 5, we have 25,000 = a?°°625(5) , from which c = 25,000e °- 3125 = 18,290.39. Thus the solution becomes P= 18,290.39e 00625'. At f = 0, the initial amount must be P = 18,290.39?° ° 625(0) = $18,290.39. 6.49 A man currently has $12,000 and plans to invest it in an account that accrues interest continuously. What interest rate must he receive, if his goal is to have $15,000 in 21 years? I Let P(f) denote the amount in the account at any time t. and let r represent the interest rate (which is presumed fixed for the entire period). The differential equation governing the growth of the account is given in Problem 1.57 as dP/dt = (r/100)P, which has as its solution p = Ce (rl00)'. At t = 0. P = 12.000; hence 12.000 = ce {r 100,|0 » = c, so the solution becomes P - 12,000? ,r 10°". We require r corresponding to P - 15,000 and t — 2.5. Substituting these values into the last equation and solving for r, we obtain 15,000 = 12,000? (r ,00,,2 5) . which reduces to 1.25 = e' 40 and yields r = 40 In 1.25 = 8.926 percent. 6.50 What interest rate must the man in the previous problem receive if his goal is $16,000 in 3 years? I Substituting P = 16.000 and t — 3 into the solution derived in the previous problem, we obtain 16,000-= 12.000? ,r 100, from which we find that r = —In — = 9.589 percent. 3 12,000 y COOLING AND HEATING PROBLEMS 6.51 Newton's law of cooling states that the time rate of change of the temperature of a body is proportional to the temperature difference between the body and its surrounding medium. Using Newton's law of cooling, derive a differential equation for the cooling of a hot body surrounded by a cool medium. I Let T denote the temperature of the body, and let Tm denote the temperature of the surrounding medium. Then the time rate of change of the temperature of the body is dT/dt, and Newton's law of cooling can be formulated as dT/dt — —k(T- TJ. or as dT — + kT = kTm (1)
  • 127. APPLICATIONS OF FIRST-ORDER DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS 119 where k is a positive constant of proportionality. Since k is chosen positive, the minus sign in Newton's law is required to make dT/dt negative for a cooling process. Note that in such a process, 7" is greater than 7m; thus 7 — Tm is positive. 6.52 A metal bar at a temperature of 100F is placed in a room at a constant temperature of OF. If after 20 min the temperature of the bar is 50°F, find an expression for the temperature of the bar at any time. # The surrounding medium is the room, which is being held at a constant temperature of OF, so Tm = IT and (7) of Problem 6.51 becomes -— + kT — 0. This equation is linear; it also has the differential form at — dT+kdt = 0, which is separable. Solving either form, we get T = ce~ kt . Since 7 = 100 at ( = (the temperature of the bar is initially 100°F), it follows that 100 = ce' km or 100 = c. Substituting this value into the solution, we obtain 7 = 100? ~ kt .

Substituting t = 10 into (7) of Problem 6.52, we find that 7 = lOOe*- 0035 ** 10 ' = 100(0.705) = 70.5 F. It should be noted that since Newton's law is valid only for small temperature differences, the above calculations represent only a first approximation to the physical situation. 6.55 A body at a temperature of 50°F is placed outdoors where the temperature is 100°F. If after 5 min the temperature of the body is 60°F, find an expression for the temperature of the body at any time. I With Tm = 100 (the surrounding medium is the outside air), (7) of Problem 6.51 becomes dT/dt + kT = 100/c. This equation is linear and has as its solution T — ce~ kl + 100 (see Problem 5.38). Since 7=50 when t = 0, it follows that 50 = ce~ k(0) + 100, or c=-50. Substituting this value into the solution, we obtain T = — 50? "*' + 100. At t = 5, we are given that T — 60; hence, from the last equation, 60 — — 50?" 5k + 100. Solving for k, we obtain -40 = -50?" 5 *, so that k = — |lnf§ = -|(-0.223) = 0.045. Substituting this value, we obtain the temperature of the body at any time t as T= -50e 0045' + 100 (7) 6.56 Determine how long it will take the body in the previous problem to reach a temperature of 75°F. f We require t when T = 75. Substituting T = 75 into (/) of the previous problem, we have 75 = -50? 0045 ' + 100 or e~ 0M5' = j. Solving for f, we find -0.045r = lni or t=15.4min. 6.57 Determine the temperature of the body described in Problem 6.55 after 20 min. f We require T when t = 20. Substituting t = 20 into (7) of Problem 6.55 and then solving for T, we find T = _50e<-° 045 >< 20 > + 100 = -50(0.41) + 100 = 79.5°F. 6.58 A body at an unknown temperature is placed in a room which is held at a constant temperature of 30°F. If after 10 min the temperature of the body is 0°F and after 20 min the temperature of the body is 15°F, find an expression for the temperature of the body at time t. I Here the temperature of the surrounding medium, Tm , is held constant at 30° F, so (7) of Problem 6.51 becomes dT/dt + kT = 30k. The solution to this differential equation is given by Problem 5.39 (with a = 30) as T=ce~ k' + 30. At t = 10, we are given that 7 = 0. Hence, = ce~ 10k + 30 or ce~ l0k = -30.

Substituting f = into (/) of the previous problem, we find that T = -60e, -°- 069,(0) + 30 = -60 + 30 = -30°F. 6.60 A body at a temperature of C F is placed in a room whose temperature is kept at 100 D F. If after 10 min the temperature of the body is 25 = F, find an expression for the temperature of the body at time t. I Here the temperature of the surrounding medium is the temperature of the room, which is held constant at Tm — 100. Thus, (/) of Problem 6.51 becomes dT/dt + kT = 100/c; its solution is given by Problem 5.38 as 7 = 100 + ce k '. At f = 0, we have 7 = 0; hence = 100 + ce* ,0) = 100 + c. Thus c = - 100 and the solution becomes 7 = 100 — lOOe*'. At t = 10. we have 7 = 25; hence 25 = 100 - 100e* ,,0) , or e 10k = 0.75, so that k = -0.02877.

At t = 0, another brine solution containing 1 lb of salt per gallon is poured into the tank at the rate of 4 gal/min, while the well-stirred mixture leaves the tank at the rate of 8 gal/min. Find the amount of salt in the tank at any time f. I Here V = 80, a = |(80) - 10, b = 1, e = 4, and / = 8.

Applying the initial condition Q(0) = a = 10, we get 10 = 4(20) + c(20) 2 , so that c = —7/40. Therefore, the amount of salt in the tank at time t is Q = 4(20 - f) - ^(20 - t) 2 . 6.83 Determine when the tank described in the previous problem will be empty. I We seek t corresponding to a volume V — 0. From Problem 6.74, we have V = = 80 + At — St, so that t = 20 min. 6.84 Determine when the tank described in Problem 6.82 will hold 40 gal of solution. I We seek t corresponding to a volume V = 40. From Problem 6.74, we have V = 40 = 80 + 4f — St, so that t = 10 min. 6.85 Find the amount of salt in the tank described in Problem 6.82 when the tank contains exactly 40 gal of brine. f The amount of salt in the tank at any time f is given in Problem 6.82 as Q = 4(20 — t) — 4^(20 — t) 2 . From Problem 6.84, the tank will contain 40 gal of solution when t = 10. At that time, Q = 4(20 - 10) - ;&(20 - 10) 2 = 22.5 lb. 6.86 Determine when the tank described in Problem 6.82 will contain the most salt, f The amount of salt in the tank at any time t is given in Problem 6.82 as Q = 4(20 - t) - 3^(20 - f) 2 (7) Since d 2 Q/dt 2 is always negative, the maximum value of Q occurs when dQ/dt = 0. Setting the derivative of (7) equal to zero, we get — 4 + j^(20 — t) = 0, from which t = 8.57 min. At that time, there will be 22.857 lb of salt in the tank. 6.87 A tank contains 100 gal of brine made by dissolving 80 lb of salt in water. Pure water runs into the tank at the rate of 4 gal/min, and the mixture, kept uniform by stirring, runs out at the same rate. Find the amount of salt in the tank at any time t.

Applying the initial condition Q(0) = a - 80, we obtain 80 = c'° 04(0) = c, so the amount of salt in the tank at time r is Q = 80e"° °4'. 6.88 Find the concentration of salt in the tank described in the previous problem at any time t. I Since the outflow equals the inflow of liquid, the volume of liquid in the tank remains a constant V = 100. From the result of the previous problem, it follows that the concentration is C = Q/V = 0.8e -0041 . 6.89 Assume that the outflow of the tank described in Problem 6.87 runs into a second tank which contains 100 gal of pure water initially. The mixture in the second tank is kept uniform by constant stirring and is allowed to run out at the rate of 4 gal/min. Determine the amount of salt in the second tank at any time t. I For the second tank, V = 100, a — 0, b = 0.8e~ 004' (see the previous problem), and e — f = 4. Then (/) of Problem 6.74 becomes dQ/dt + 0.04Q = 3.2e _004', which has as its solution Q = 3.2te~° °4' + a? -0- 04' (see Problem 5.55). At t = 0, Q = a = 0; hence = 3.2(0)<T° 04(0) + ce~° 04(0) = c. The amount of salt in the second tank at any time t is thus Q = 3.2te~° °4'. 6.90 Determine the amount of salt in each of the two tanks described in Problems 6.87 and 6.89 after 1 h. I Using the results of the two problems with t — 60 min, we have Q — %0e~° 04(60) = 7.26 lb of salt in the first tank, and Q = 3.2(60)e" 004<60) = 17.42 lb of salt in the second tank. 6.91 Determine when the amounts of salt in the tanks described in Problems 6.87 and 6.89 will be equal. I We equate the results of the two problems to obtain S0e~° °4' = 3.2te~° °4', from which t = 80/3.2 = 25 mm. 6.92 A tank contains 100 gal of brine made by dissolving 60 lb of salt in water. Salt water containing 1 lb of salt per gallon runs in at the rate of 2 gal/min, and the mixture, kept uniform by stirring, runs out at the rate of 3 gal/min. Find the amount of salt in the tank at the end of 1 h. I Here V = 100, a = 60, b = 1, e = 2, and / = 3. Then (7) of Problem 6.74 becomes — + = 2, which has as its solution Q = 100 - t + c(100 - f) 3 (see Problem 5.48). dt 100 - t At f = 0, Q = a = 60; hence 60 = 100 + c(100) 3 , so that c = -0.00004 and the solution becomes Q = (100- f)-0.00004(100- r) 3 . At t = 60 min, this equation yields Q = (100 - 60) - 0.00004(100 - 60) 3 = 37.44 lb. 6.93 A cylindrical tank contains 40 gal of a salt solution containing 2 lb of salt per gallon. A salt solution of concentration 3 lb/gal flows into the tank at 4 gal/min. How much salt is in the tank at any time if the well-stirred mixture flows out at 4 gal/min?

Then in an infinitesimal interval dt, the water level will fall by the amount dy, and the resultant decrease in the volume of water in the tank will be dV = nx2 dy. This, of course, must equal in magnitude the volume of water that leaves the orifice during the same interval dt.

We suppose that as the solution moves through the tube, some of the solute which it contains diffuses through the wall of the tube into an ambient solution of the same solute of lower concentration, while some continues to be transported through the tube. As variables, we let x be a distance coordinate along the tube and y(x) be the concentration of the solute at any point x, assumed uniform over the cross section of the tube. As boundary conditions, we assume that y(0) = >' and y(L) = yL(<y ) are known. Find an expression for the concentration y(x) at any point along the tube. I As a principle to use in formulating this problem, we have Frick's law: The time rate at which a solute diffuses through a thin membrane in a direction perpendicular to the membrane is proportional to the area of the membrane and to the difference between the concentrations of the solute on the two sides of the membrane. We begin by considering conditions in a typical segment of the tube between x and x + Ax (Fig. 6.6). The concentration of the solution entering the segment is y(x); the concentration of the solution leaving the segment is y(x + Ax). In the time Af that it takes the solution to move through the segment, an amount of solute equal to concentration x volume = y{x)nr 2 Ax enters the left end of the segment, and the amount y(x + Ax)rcr 2 Ax leaves the right end of the segment. The difference, [y(x) — y(x + Ax)]rcr 2 Ax, must have left the segment by diffusion through the wall of the tube. The expression for this amount, as given by Frick's law, is Rate of diffusion x time = k(2nr Ax)[y(x + 9 Ax) — c] Af where x + 0Ax, for < 9 < 1, is a typical point between x and x + Ax at which to assume an "average" value of the concentration, and c, assumed constant, is the concentration of the solute in the fluid surrounding the tube.

Integrating then yields F F so that c = = —. The required force thus is and v 220 (-e -'). As t », F = 3 lb. Substituting this value for F gives us r = ^(l— e *')• So, when t — 48, we have v = ^(1 - e~ 9b ) = ^ ft/s. The distance traveled is s = j^ 8 vdt = ^ $ s (1 - e~ 2, )dt = 697 ft. 6.166 A spring of negligible weight hangs vertically. A mass of m slugs is attached to the other end. If the mass is moving with velocity v ft/s when the spring is unstretched, find the velocity v as a function of the stretch x in feet. I According to Hooke's law, the spring force (the force opposing the stretch) is proportional to the stretch. Thus, dv , , , ^l " dx dv . dx mg — kx, which we can write as m —— = mv — = mg — kx, since we have m — = m —— = mv dx dt dx — V. dt dx dt dx dt Integrating then gives mv2 = 2mgx — kx2 + C.

If the air resistance is Wv2 256 lb, where W is the total weight of the man and parachute, find his speed as a function of the time f after the parachute opens. - Wdv Wv2 f Since net force on system = weight of system — air resistance, we have dv v 2 - 256 dt T' Integrating between the limits r = 0. r = 176 and f from which we get In J 1^6 r v- 16 _ v+ 16 ~ dv -256 r. dt or 1 r - 16 — In 32 v + 16 g dt t.

If the terminal velocity is 150 ft s. find the velocity at the end of 2 s and the time required for the velocity to become 100 ft/s. I Let v denote the velocity of the body at time f.

If the specific gravity of the medium is one-fourth that of the body and if the terminal velocity is 24 ft/s, find the velocity at the end of 3 s and the distance traveled in 3 s. I Let v denote the velocity of the body at time t. In addition to the two forces acting as in Problem 6.136, there is a third force which results from the difference in specific gravities. This force is equal in magnitude to the weight of the medium which the body displaces, and it opposes gravity. Thus, we have net force on body = weight of body — buoyant force — resistance, and the equation of motion is A 1 1 m— = mg mg — Kv = - mg — Kv. With g — 32 ft/s 2 and K taken as 3mk, the equation becomes dv dv — = 3(8 — kv) or = 3 dt. Integrating from t = 0, v — to t = t, v — v gives dt 8 — kv —In (8 - kv)" = 3f I' , from which -In (8 - kv) + In 8 = 3kt, so that kv = 8(1 - e~ 3kt ). When t -* oo, k |o |o v = 24, so fe=l/3 and v = 24(1 - e~ l ). Thus, when t = 3, v = 24(1 - e~ 3 ) = 22.8 ft/s. dx Since i; = —- = 24(1 — e '), we integrate between t = 0, x = and t = 3, x = x to find dt xf = 24(r -I- e~')" or x = 24(2 + e~ 3 ) — 49.2 ft as the distance traveled in 3 s o 6.170 The gravitational pull on a mass m at a distance s feet from the center of the earth is proportional to m and inversely proportional to s 2 . (a) Find the velocity attained by the mass in falling from rest at a distance 5R from the center to the earth's surface, where R — 4000 mi is the radius of the earth, (b) What velocity would correspond to a fall from an infinite distance; that is, with what velocity must the mass be propelled vertically upward to escape the earth's gravitational pull? (All other forces, including friction, are to be neglected.) I The gravitational force at a distance s from the earth's center is km/s2 . To determine k, we note that the force is mg when s = R; thus mg = km/R 2 and k = gR2 . The equation of motion is then dv dsdv dv mgR~ , ds — = m — — = mv — = =—, or vdv = —gR'-r-, dt dt ds ds s 2 s 2 m — = m —— = mv — = 5— , or vdv — —gR —, the minus sign indicating that v increases as s dt i 1 ' decreases. cv t*R ds (a) Integrating from v = 0, s = 5R to v = v, s = R, we get vdv = —gR2 -j, from which - v 2 = gR2 (-- —) = - gR, so that v 2 = - (32)(4000)(5280). Then v = 2560^165 ft/s or 2 R jRI 5 5 approximately 6mi/s. (b) Integrating now from v - 0, s -» 00 to v = v, s = R, we get I vdv = -gR I -^, from which v 2 = 2gR.

How long will it take for the chain to slide off the table? f Suppose that at time t a length x of the chain is dangling over the side (Fig. 6.10).

Rewriting (7), we have c,e or -c,e2x For any nonzero value of cu the left side of this equation is a constant, whereas the right side is not; hence the equality is not valid.

I Consider the equation c, sin 2x + c 2 cos 2x = 0. Differentiating, we obtain 2c l cos 2x — 2c2 sin 2x = 0. These two equations are a set of simultaneous linear equations for the unknowns c x and c 2 . The easiest way to solve them is to multiply the first by 2 sin 2x, multiply the second by cos 2x, and then add the resulting equations together. Doing so, we find that the only solution is c x — c 2 — 0, which implies that the functions are linearly independent. 7.41 Rework the previous problem using the Wronskian.

To solve these two equations simultaneously for the unknowns c x and c2 , we multiply the first by 3 sin 3x, multiply the second by cos 3x, and then add. The only solution is c { = c 2 = 0, which implies that the functions are linearly independent. 7.43 Rework the previous problem using the Wronskian.

Instead, we may differentiate the second equation to obtain 2c, =0. It follows from this that cx — 0, and then from the second equation that c 2 = 0.

I Consider the equation c x t 2 + c 2 t 3 = 0. This is a third-degree polynomial in t.

Recall that |x 3 | = x3 if x > 0, and |x 3 | = -x3 if x < 0. Thus, our equation becomes c y x3 + c 2 x3 = forx > c t x3 — c2 x3 = for x < Solving these two equations simultaneously for c x and c2 , we find that the only solution is c t = c2 — 0. The given set is, therefore, linearly independent. 7.70 Can both x3 and |x 3 | be solutions of the same linear homogeneous differential equation? I No, for if they were, then we would have two solutions of the same linear homogeneous differential equation having an identically zero Wronskian, which would imply that the two functions are linearly dependent. We know, however, from the previous problem that the two functions are linearly independent on (—1, 1). 7.71 Determine whether x3 and |x 3 | are linearly dependent on [ — 1,0]. I It follows from Problem 7.69 that, for linear dependence, we must satisfy c,x 3 — c 2 x3 = 0. Observe that thib is the only condition that is operable here, because we do not include any positive values of the independent variable x. By inspection, we see that there exist constants c t and c 2 not both zero (for example, c Y = c 2 = 7) that satisfy this equation for all values of x in the interval of interest; therefore the functions are linearly dependent there. 7.72 Determine whether x 3 and |x 3 | are linearly dependent on [0, 1J. I It follows from Problem 7.69 that we must now satisfy c,x 3 + c 2 x3 = 0. Observe that this is the only operable condition because we do not include negative values of x. By inspection, we see that there exist constants c x and c 2 not both zero (for example, c, = — c 2 = 3) that satisfy this equation for all values of x in the interval of interest; hence the functions are linearly dependent there. 7.73 Determine whether the set {1 — x, 1 + x, 1 — 3x} is linearly dependent on (— x, oo). f Consider the equation c,(l — x) + c 2 (l + x) + c 3 { — 3x) = 0. which can be rewritten as ( — c, + c2 — 3c 3 )x + (c, + c 2 + c 3 ) = 0. This linear equation can be satisfied for all x only if both coefficients are zero. Thus, we require — c, + c 2 — 3c 3 = and c { + c 2 + c 3 = Solving these equations simultaneously, we find that r, = — 2c3 and c 2 = c 3 , with c 3 arbitrary. Choosing c 3 = 1 (any other nonzero number would do), we obtain c x = —2, c 2 — , and c 3 = 1 as a set of constants, not all zero, that satisfy the original equation. Thus, the given set of functions is linearly dependent. 7.74 Determine whether the set {5, 3 — 2x, 2 + x - ^x 2 } is linearly dependent on ( — oo, oo). f Consider the equation c,(5) + c2 (3 - 2x) + c 3(2 + x — x 2 ) = 0, which we may rewrite as (— |c 3 )x 2 + ( — 2c2 + c 3)x + (5cj + 3c2 + 2c3 ) = 0. The left side is a second-degree polynomial in x. Since a polynomial is zero for all values of x in ( — oo, oo) if and only if all of its coefficients are zero, it follows that — 2 C 3 = ar, d — 2c2 + c 3 = and 5c x + 3c2 + 2c3 = Solving this set of equations simultaneously, we find that the only solution to it, and therefore to the original equation, is c t = c 2 = c3 — 0. Hence the functions are linearly independent. 7.75 Rework the previous problem using differentiation.

Choosing c 2 — 1 (any other nonzero number would do equally well), we arrive at the same conclusion as before—namely that the functions are linearly dependent. 7.78 What conclusions can one draw about the linear dependence of {x 2 , — 2x2 , x3 } on { — oo, oo} by computing their Wronskian? f The Wronskian of this set is shown in Problem 7.24 to be zero, so no conclusion about linear dependence may be drawn. 7.79 Redo the previous problem if in addition it is known that all three functions are solutions of d*y/dx 4 = 0. I Since all three functions are solutions of the same linear homogeneous differential equation, and since their Wronskian is identically zero, the three functions are linearly dependent. 7.80 Determine whether the functions e', e~ and e 2 ' are linearly dependent on ( — oo, oo). f Their Wronskian is — 6e 2 ' (see Problem 7.26), which is nonzero for at least one point in the interval of interest (it is, in fact, nonzero everywhere); thus the functions are linearly independent. 7.81 The functions sin t, cos f, and 2 sin t — cos t are all solutions of the differential equation y" + y = 0. Are these functions linearly independent on ( — oo, oo)? f The Wronskian of these functions is found in Problem 7.31 to be zero.

Are these functions linearly independent on ( — oo, oo)? f The Wronskian of these functions is 42r (see Problem 7.30). Since it is nonzero for at least one point in the interval of interest (for example, at t = 1, W = 42), the functions are linearly independent. 7.83 The functions t, t - 3, and 2r + 5 are all solutions of the differential equation d 2 y/dt 2 = 0. Are these functions linearly dependent on (-co, oo)? f The Wronskian of these functions is identically zero (see Problem 7.28). Since the functions are all solutions of the same linear homogeneous differential equation, they are linearly dependent. 7.84 Determine whether the functions e 2 ', e 3t , e~', and e~ 5 ' are linearly dependent on (- oo, oo). I Using the result of Problem 7.33 with mt = 2, m2 = 3, m3 = -1, and m4 = -5, we find that the Wronskian of these four functions is never zero. Thus, the functions are linearly independent.

The differential equation is linear, of order 3, and homogeneous: it has continuous coefficients on (1, 5) with the property that the coefficient of the highest derivative is not zero on this interval. Thus, this equation possesses three linearly independent solutions, which we found in Problem 7.88. The general solution is the superposition of these three linearly independent solutions.

The result follows immediately from the principle of superposition. 7.110 Determine whether y = c, + c 2 x + c 3 x 2 is the general solution of y" = 0.

  • 179. LINEAR HOMOGENEOUS DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH CONSTANT COEFFICIENTS 171 If the coefficients of this equation are real, then (a + ib) + (c + id) = {a + c) + i(b + d) must be real, which requires that d = -b. Then the coefficient of y becomes (a + ib)(c - ib) = (ac + b 2 ) + ib(c - a). This coefficient is real only if b = or c = a. We discard b = as a possibility, because if it is so then the roots are not complex as hypothesized. Thus, for the differential equation to have complex roots a + ib and c + id, we must have d=-b and c = a, which implies that the roots are complex conjugates. 8.49 Derive a real-valued solution for a second-order linear differential equation with real constant coefficients if the roots of its characteristic equation are complex. I Assume the unknown function is y(x). By the previous problem, the roots of the differential equation must be complex conjugates; denote them as A t = a + ib and X2 — a — ib. Then two linearly independent solutions are e (a + lb)x and e (a ~ lb)x , and the general complex solution is y(x) = d l e la + ib)x + d2 e (a ~ ib)x . Using Euler's relations, e lbx — cos bx + i sin bx and e~ ,bx — cos bx — i sin bx, we can rewrite this solution as y = d x e ax e ibx + d2 e ax e~ ibx = e ax {d x e ibx + d2 e' ibx ) = e ax [d 1 (cos bx + i sin bx) + d2 (cos bx — i sin bx)~] = e ax [{di + d2 ) cos bx + i{d^ — d2 ) sin bx] If we define c l — d y + d2 and c 2 = i(d x — d2 ) as two new arbitrary constants, we can write the general solution as y = c x e ax cos bx + c 2 e ax sin bx. This equation is real if and only if c x and c 2 are both real, which occurs if and only if d l and d2 are complex conjugates.

But part of this trial solution, namely A , is also part of yc , so it must be modified. To do so, we multiply it by the smallest positive integral power of x that will eliminate duplication. This is the first power, which gives us yp = x{A x x + A ) = A x x 2 + A x. 9.157 Solve the differential equation of the previous problem. # Substituting yp of the previous problem, y' p = 24,x + A , and y" p = 2A X into the given differential equation yields, after rearrangement, (— 14/lJx + (2/1! — 1A ) = — 3x + 0. Equating coefficients of like powers of x, we find A 1 =Yi and A = ^.

  • 227. THE METHOD OF UNDETERMINED COEFFICIENTS 219 f As in Problem 9.154, the complementary solution is yc = c, + c 2 e lx . We try as a particular solution A2x2 + A x x + A , which has the same degree as the right side of the given differential equation. But part of this duplicates part of yc (let c, = A ), so it needs to be modified. We multiply it by x, which is the smallest positive integral power of x that eliminates duplication, obtaining yp = A 2 x3 + A x x 2 + A x. Since there is now no duplication, yp is in proper form. 9.159 Determine the form of a particular solution to (Z) 4 + 4D2 )y = 6. f The complementary function is, from Problem 8.186, yc = c, + c 2 x + c 3 cos 2x + c4 sin 2x. We first try the particular solution A . Because this is part of yc (for c x = A ), we modify it by multiplying by the smallest positive integral power of x that eliminates duplication. The first power will not work, because A x is part of yc (for c 2 = A ). The second power does work, however, so a particular solution is yp = A x2 . 9.160 Redo the previous problem if, instead, the right side of the differential equation is 6x. I yc remains valid, but we now use a general first-degree polynomial as our initial try for yp : A±x + A . However, this is part of yc (for Cj = A , c 2 = A v ), so we modify it by multiplying by x. The result is A{x2 + AQx. But part of this (namely A x, a constant times x) is also part of yc , so we must modify it by multiplying again by x. The result, yp = /4 x x3 + A2 x2 , does not duplicate any part of yc and is therefore in proper form. 9.161 Redo Problem 9.159 if the right side of the differential equation is 6x2 — 2x + 5. I The complementary solution yc of Problem 9.159 remains valid, but we now use a general second-degree polynomial as our initial try for yp : A2 x2 + A^x + A . Because parts of this expression (namely A t x and A ) are also part of the complementary function, we must modify it. To do so, we multiply by x2 , the smallest positive integral power of x that eliminates duplication of yc . The proper form is then yp = A2 x* + A x x3 + A x2 . 9.162 Determine the form of a particular solution to y" — 9x2 + 2x + 1. 1 The complementary function is yc — c l + c 2 x (see Problem 8.153). Since the right side of the differential equation is a second-degree polynomial, we try a general second-degree polynomial as the form of yp : A2 x2 + A x x + A . However, this trial solution has a first-power term and a constant term in common with yc . We must modify it by multiplying by the smallest positive integral power of x that eliminates duplication between yp and yc . This is x 2 , which gives yp = A 2 xA + A x x3 + A x2 . 9.163 Solve the differential equation of the previous problem. f Differentiating yp of the previous problem twice and then substituting into the differential equation, we obtain 2A 2 x2 + 6A x x + 2A = 9x2 + 2x — 1, from which we find A2 = f, ^1=3, and A = — . Then yp = fx 4 + ^x3 — x 2 , and the general solution is y = c x x + c + fx 4 + ^x 3 — ^x 2 . The particular solution also can be obtained by twice integrating both sides of the differential equation with respect to x. 9.164 Determine the form of a particular solution to y" — 3x2 . f The complementary function is yc = c y + c 2 x + c 3 x2 (see Problem 8.154). Since the right side of the differential equation is a second-degree polynomial, we try A — A x x + A2 x2 . However, since this is identical in form to yc , it must be modified. To do so, we multiply by x3 , the smallest positive integral power of x that eliminates any duplication of yc . The result is yp = A2 x5 + A x x A + /l x3 . 9.165 Determine the form of a particular solution to y'" = — 2x2 + 9x + 18. f The particular solution is identical to that of the previous problem. 14 9.166 Determine the form of a particular solution to —^ = 12x 2 — 60. f The complementary solution is, from Problem 8.155, yc = c, + c2 x + c 3 x 2 + c4x3 . Since the right side of the given differential equation is a second-degree polynomial, we try, as a particular solution, the general second-degree polynomial A + A x x + A 2 x2 . But this is part of yc for suitable choices of <?! through c4, and so must be modified. To do so, we multiply by x 4 , the smallest positive integral power of x that eliminates any duplication of yc . The result is a proper particular solution: yp = /l x 4 + A y x5 + A2 x6 .
  • 228. 220 CHAPTER 9 9.167 Solve the differential equation of the previous problem. I Differentiating yp four times successively and substituting the result into the given differential equation, we get 24AQ + 120,4 jx + 36042 x2 = 12x2 — 60. Then, by equating the coefficients of like powers of x, we conclude that A = —f, A x = 0, and A2 = yg. Thus yp = jqx 6 — fx 4 , and the general solution is y = c t + c2 x + c 3 x2 + c4x3 + ^x6 — fx 4 . d*y 9.168 Determine the form of a particular solution to —z = 30x 5 — 2x2 + 5. ax4 f The complementary solution is, again, yc = c v + c 2 x + c 3x2 + c4x3 . The right side of the differential equation is a fifth-degree polynomial, so we try the particular solution A 5 x5 + AAx* + A3 x3 + A2 x2 + A x x + A . But because this trial solution and yc have terms in common, it must be modified. Again we multiply by x4 , the smallest positive integral power of x that eliminates any duplication of yc . The result is a particular solution in proper form, yp — A5 x9 + A4x8 + A3 x J + A2 x6 + A { xs + A x4 . d 2 x , dx dr dt 9.169 Solve —^ + k— - g, where k and g are positive constants. I The complementary solution is xc = C, + C2 e~ kt (see Problem 8.20). Since the right side of the differential equation is a constant, we first try the particular solution A . But this term is part of x,. (for Cj = A ), so we modify it by multiplying by t. The result is xp = A t, which is distinct from the terms comprising xc . Substituting xp into the given differential equation, we get + kA = — g, from which A — —g/k. The 9 k general solution is then x = xc + xp = Cx + C2 e kt — - t. 9.170 Determine the form of a particular solution to y" -I- Ay — cos 2x. I The complementary solution is yr = c, cos 2x + c 2 sin 2x (see Problem 8.59). Since the right side of the given differential equation is a cosine term, we try A Q sin 2x -I- BQ cos 2x as a particular solution. But this trial solution is identical in form to yf (with c, = B and c 2 — A ), so we must modify it. Multiplying by x, we get yp — A x sin 2x + fi x cos 2x, which is distinct from yc and therefore in proper form. 9.171 Redo the previous problem if, instead, the right side of the differential equation is —3 sin 2x. I The particular solution is identical to yp of the previous problem. 9.172 Determine the form of a particular solution to x + 16x = 2 sin 4t. I The complementary solution is xr = c, cos 4r + c 2 sin 4f (see Problem 8.57). Since the right side of the differential equation is a sine term, we try A sir4t + B cos4t as a particular solution. But yc and this trial solution are of identical form, so we must modify it. We do so by multiplying by f, getting xp = A t sin 4f + BQ t cos 4f. Since all the terms of xp are distinct from those of xc , it is in proper form. 9.173 Solve the differential equation of the previous problem, f By substituting x and x" = ( - 6A t - 8B ) sin At + (8.4 - 16B f) cos At into the given differential equation p and simplifying, we get ( - 85 ) sin At + (8A ) cos At = 2 sin At + cos At Then equating the coefficients of like terms yields A = and B = —£. The general solution is thus x = xc -- xp = c, cos At + c 2 sin At — t cos At. 9.174 Determine the form of a particular solution to x + 64x = 64 cos St. I The complementary solution is xf = x x cos 8f + c 2 sin 8r (see Problem 8.58). Since the right side of the differential equation is a cosine term, we try A sin 8f -(- B cos 8f as the form of a particular solution. But it is identical to xc when c t = B and c 2 = A , so we must modify the trial solution. We do so by multiplying by t , obtaining xp = A t sin 8f -I- B t cos St. This is in proper form, because no part of it can be formed from xc by a suitable choice of Cj or c 2 . 9.175 Solve the differential equation of the previous problem.
  • 229. THE METHOD OF UNDETERMINED COEFFICIENTS D 221 f By substituting xp and its second derivative into the given differential equation, we obtain (- 64 A t - 16B ) sin St + (16A - 64B t) cos 8t + 64(A t sin St + B t cos 8f) = 64 cos 8f which can be simplified to (-16B )sin8t + (6A )cosSt = 0sin8f + 64cos8f. Equating coefficients of like terms, we conclude that A = 4 and B = 0. Then the general solution is x = Cj cos 8f + c2 sin St + 4r sin St. 9.176 Solve 3c + 3gx = 3g sin -J3gt, where # is a positive constant. § The complementary solution is, from Problem 8.74, xc = Cx cos y/lgt + C2 sin -Jlgt. We try A sin >/3gf + B cos v3#f as a particular solution, and then modify it to xp — A t sin y/3gt + B t cos J3gt by multiplying by t. Substituting xp into the given differential equation and simplifying, we get ( — 2yJ3gB ) sin y/3gt + (2yJ3gA ) cos J3gt = 3g sin j3gt. By equating coefficients of like terms, we find that B = —jy/3g and A = 0. The general solution is then x = xc + xp = Cj cos yJ3gt + c2 sin J3gt — l3gt cos yJ3gt. 9.177 Determine the form of a particular solution to (D2 + 4)v = x2 sin 2x. f The complementary solution is yc = Cx cos 2x + C2 sin 2x. Since the right side of the differential equation is a second-degree polynomial times a sine term, we try (Bx2 + Ex + G) sin 2x + (Ax2 + Cx + F) cos 2x as a particular solution. But this trial solution has terms in common with yc, namely a constant times sin 2x and a constant times cos 2x, so we must modify it. We do so by multiplying by the smallest positive integral power of x that eliminates all commonality between ye and yp . This is the first power. As a result, we find yp = Ax3 cos 2x + Bx3 sin 2x + Cx2 cos 2x + Ex2 sin 2x + Fx cos 2x + Gx sin 2x 9.178 Solve the differential equation of the previous problem. f Differentiating yp twice yields D2 yp = -4Ax3 cos 2x - 4Bx3 sin 2x + (12B - 4C)x2 cos 2x + (- 12,4 - 4£)x2 sin 2x + (6/1 + 8£ - 4F)x cos 2x + (65 - 8C - 4G)x sin 2x + (2C + 4G) cos 2x + (IE - 4F)sin 2x Then substituting this and yp into the given equation yields 12Bx2 cos 2x - 2Ax2 sin 2x + (6A + 8£)x cos 2x + (6B - SC)x sin 2x + (2C + 4G) cos 2x + (2£ - 4F) sin 2x = x2 sin 2x By equating coefficients of like terms, we find that A = —-fa, B = C = G = 0, £ = yg, and £ = ^. Then yp = —y^x 3 cos 2x + j^x 2 sin 2x + j^x cos 2x, and the primitive is y = Ct cos 2x + C2 sin 2x — ^x3 cos 2x + ^x2 sin 2x + ^x cos 2x. 9.179 Solve (D2 + 4)y = 8 sin 2x. I The complementary solution is yc = c t cos 2x + c 2 sin 2x. For a particular solution we would normally try A cos 2x + B sin 2x. However, since its terms appear in the complementary solution, we multiply by x to obtain the particular solution yp = x(A cos 2x + B sin 2x). Then, substituting in the given equation yields —4A cos 2x — 4B sin 2x = 8 sin 2x, so that A = and B = — 2. Then the required general solution is y = c t cos 2x 4- c2 sin 2x — 2x sin 2x. 9.180 Determine the form of a particular solution to y" + 4y = 8x sin 2x. I As in the previous problem, the complementary solution is yc = c, cos 2x + c 2 sin 2x. We try a particular solution of the form (A x x + A ) sin 2x + (B x x + B ) cos 2x because the right side of the given differential equation is the product of a first-degree polynomial and sin 2x. But two of the summands in this trial solution are identical in form with the summands in yc , so it must be modified. Multiplying by x, we get yp = (A 1 x2 + Aqx) sin 2x + (B x x2 + B x) cos 2x, which has no terms in common with yc and is therefore in proper form. 9.181 Solve the differential equation of the previous problem. f Differentiating yp of the previous problem twice in succession yields y" = (-4A x x2 - 4A x + 2A l - SB^ - 4B )sin 2x + (SA t x + 4A - 4Bx x2 - 4B x + 2Bj)cos 2x

Combining these results with ye and yp of the previous problem, we form the general solution y = c, cos 2x + c 2 sin 2x + jx sin 2x — x2 cos 2x. 9.182 Solve y" + Ay = (8 - 16x) cos 2x. I yc and yp of Problem 9.180 are valid here, as is y" p of the previous problem. Substituting yp and y" p into the given differential equation and simplifying, we get [(-8B,)x + (2/1, -4B )]sin2x + [(8A x )x + (4A + 2B,)]cos2x = -16xcos2x + 8cos2x By equating coefficients of like terms and solving the resulting system of equations, we find that A x = -2, A = 2, B, = 0, and B = - 1. Combining these results with yc and yp of Problem 9.180, we form the general solution y = (-2x2 + 2x + c 2 )sin2x + (-x + c,)cos2x. 9.183 Determine the form of a particular solution of x + 16x = (80r — 16) sin 4r. f The complementary solution is xc = cx cos4f + c2 sin 4t (see Problem 8.57). We try a particular solution of the form (A x t + A )s'm4t H (B,f + B )cos4t, but since it contains summands which are identical in form to the summands of xf , it must be modified. Multiplying by f, we get xp = (A^ 2 + A t)sm4t + (B,r 2 + B f)cos4f. Since none of the summands of xp is identical to a summand of x,. except perhaps for a multiplicative constant, xp is the proper form for a particular solution. 9.184 Solve the differential equation of the previous problem. f Differentiating xp of the previous problem twice yields . r = (-16.4,r 2 - 16/V + 2/1, - 16S,f -8B )sin4f + (l6A x t + %A - 16B,f 2 - 16B f + 2B,)cos4f Then by substituting .v p and xp into the given differential equation and simplifying, we get [(-16B,)f + (2/1, -8B )]sin4f + [(164 ,)f + (8.4 + 2B,)] cos4f = (80f - 16)sin4f + (Or + 0)cos4r Equating coefficients of like terms, we get a system of equations whose solution is A x = 0, A — 1.25, By— —5, and B = 2. Combining these results with xp and xe of the previous problem, we form the general solution x = c, cos 4f + c 2 sin 4f + 1 .25f sin 4f + ( - 5f 2 + 2t) cos 4t. 9.185 Determine the form of a particular solution to x + 64x = 8f 2 cos 8f. I The complementary solution is xe = c, cos 8f + c 2 sin 8f (see Problem 8.58). Since the right side of the given differential equation is the product of a second-degree polynomial and a cosine term, we try a particular solution of the form (A 2 t 2 + A x t + /1 ) sin 8f + (B2 f 2 + B,f + B )cos8r. Two of the summands in this trial solution also appear in xc for suitable choices of c, and c2, so it must be modified. Multiplying by t, we get Xp = (Ait* + A x t 2 + A t)smSt + (B2 t 3 + B x t 2 + B r)cos8r Since the summands of xp are linearly independent of the summands of xc , we have the proper form for a particular solution. 9.186 Determine the form of a particular solution to x + 96x = (r 3 + 3) sin yj%t.

But this trial solution has summands in common with xc , so it must be modified. We multiply it by the smallest positive integral power of t that eliminates any duplication of terms of xf —the first.

It follows from Problem 8.175 that the complementary function is yc = c, cos 2x + c 2 sin 2x + c 3 x cos 2x + c4x sin 2x. Since the right side of the given differential equation is a first-degree polynomial times sin 2x, we try the particular solution (A { x + A )sin 2x + (S,x + B )cos 2x. But this is identical to yc when Cj = B , c 2 = A , c 3 = B x , and c4 = A v We must modify the trial solution, and we do so by multiplying it by x2 , the smallest positive integral power of x that eliminates any duplication. The result is yp = {A t x3 + A x2 )sin2x + (BjX 3 + B x2 )cos2x.

Because this has the same form as yc , we modify it by multiplying by x. The result, yp — A xe 3x sin 4x + B xe ix cos 4x, consists of terms that are different from those of yc , so it needs no further modification. 9.191 Determine the form of a particular solution to —-^ — 10 — + 29y = —8eSx sin 2x dx2 dx I The complementary solution is yc = e 5x (Cj cos 2x + c 2 sin 2x) (see Problem 8.51).

To obtain a particular solution, we may assume the trial solutions ax2 + bx + c and de~ x corresponding to 8x2 and 2e~ x , respectively, since none of these terms is present in the complementary solution. Then substituting y — ax2 + bx + c + de~ x in the given equation, we find 4ax2 + (4a + 4b)x + (2a + 2b + 4c) + 3de~ x = 8x2 + 2e~ x Equating corresponding coefficients on both sides of the equation and solving the resulting system yield a = 2, b = — 2, c = 0, and d — 4.

Multiplying by x 2 yields ax4 + bx 3 + ex2 , which has no term that is in the complementary solution and so is the proper trial solution. Similarly, corresponding to 3e x we would normally assume the trial solution de x . But since this term as well as dxex and dx2 e x are in the complementary solution, we must use dx3 e x .

Then we assume y2 = Bx2 + Cx + D, substitute into the equation y" + 3y' + 2y — Ax2 , and find after equating coefficients of like terms that B — 2, C — — 6, and D — 1. Hence y2 — 2x 2 — 6x + 7 and, finally yp — y, + y2 — e 3x + 2x2 — 6x + 7. 9.238 Solve (D2 - 2D + 3)y = x3 + sin x. / The complementary solution is yc = e x (C x cos -Jlx + C2 sin V2x). As a particular solution try yp — Ax3 + Bx2 + Cx + E + F sin x + G cos x. Substituting yp and its derivatives into the given equation then yields 3 Ax3 + 3{B - 2A)x2 + (3C - AB + 6A)x + (3£ - 2C + 2B) + 2(F + G) sin x + 2(G - F) cos x = x 3 sin x. Equating coefficients of like terms yields A = , B — §, C = %, E = —j^, and F — G = j. Thus, a particular solution of the given differential equation is yp — x 3 + f x2 + |x — ^ + i(sin x + cos x), and the primitive is y = e x {Ci cos V2x + C2 sin >/2x) + 2 J 7(9x 3 + 18x 2 + 6x - 8) + |(sin x + cos x) 9.239 Solve (D 3 + 2D2 - D - 2)y = e x + x 2 . I The complementary solution is yc — C x e x + C2 e~ x + C3 e~ 2x . We take as a particular solution yp = Ax2 + Bx + C + Exe*. Substitution then gives -2^x2 - 2(B + A)x + (4A - B - 2C) + 6Eex = e x + x 2 . By equating coefficients of like terms and solving, we find that A = — , B = j, C — — |, and E — £. Hence yp — — l 2 x 2 + l 2 x — I + <,xr and the general solution is y = C x e x + C2 e~ x + C3e~ 2x - x 2 + {x - %- xe*. 9.240 Solve y> — 5y = x 2 e x — xe Sx . I The complementary solution is yc = c^e 51 , and the right side of the differential equation is the difference of two terms, each in manageable form. For x2 e* we assume a solution of the form e x (A 2 x 2 + A t x + A ). For xe5x we would try the solution e 5x (fi,x + B ) = B x xe5x + B e 5x But this trial solution would have, disregarding multiplicative constants, the term e 5x in common with yc. We therefore multiply by x to obtain e 5x (Bl x2 + B x). Now we take yp to be the difference yp = e*(A 2 x 2 + A x x + A ) - e 5x (Bl x2 + B x). Substituting into the differential equation and simplifying, we get e x [(-4A 2 )x 2 + (2A 2 - AA ,)v + (/!,- 4/l )] + e 5x [(-2B l )x - BQ] - e x (x 2 + Ox + 0) + e 5x [(-l)x + 0] 32' Equating coefficients of like terms and solving the resulting system yields A2 = — |, A x — — |, A Bx = , and 6 = 0.

An assumed solution corresponding to (x — l)sinx is (A x x + A )s'mx + {B x x + B )cosx, and no modification is required. An assumed solution corresponding to (x + l)cosx is (C,x + C )sinx + (D x x + D )cosx. (Note that we have used constants C and D in the last expression, since the constants A and B already have been used.) We therefore take yp = (A x x + A )sinx + (B { x + B )cosx + (CjX + C )sinx + (D,x + D )cosx Combining like terms we arrive at yp = (£,x + £ ) sin x + (f ,x + £ ) cos x as the form of the particular solution. 9.242 Solve the differential equation of the previous problem.

For 3e x we assume a particular solution of the form A e ix ; for — 2x + 1 we assume a solution of the form Bt x + B . Thus, we try yp = A e x + B,x + B .

It is therefore more powerful than the method of undetermined coefficients, which generally is restricted to linear differential equations with constant coefficients and to particular forms of 0(x). Nonetheless, in those cases where both methods are applicable, the method of undetermined coefficients is often the more efficient and, hence, the preferable method, because no integration is involved. As a practical matter, the integration of v[{x) may be impossible to perform. 232

CHAPTER 11 Applications of Second-Order Linear Differential Equations SPRING PROBLEMS 11.1 A steel ball weighing 128 lb is suspended from a spring, whereupon the spring stretches 2 ft from its natural length. The ball is started in motion with no initial velocity by displacing it 6 in above the equilibrium position. Assuming no air resistance, find the position of the ball at t = n 12 s. i This is free, undamped motion. The differential equation governing the vibrations of the system is shown in Problem 1.75 to be x + 16x = 0. Its solution (see Problem 8.57) is x — c, cos4f + c 2 sin4r, from which we find v — x ~ — 4c, sin 4r + 4c2 cos At. The initial conditions for this motion are x(0) = —£ft (the minus sign is required since the ball is initially displaced above the equilibrium position, which is the negative direction) and r(0) = 0. Applying these conditions to the equations for x and r, we obtain — 2 = x(0) = c, and = i(0) = 4c2 , respectively. Therefore C, = — , c 2 = 0, and x = - 2 cos4f. At t = n/12, we have x(7r; 12) = -£cos(4tt/12)= — i. ft. 11.2 A spring for which k — 48 lb ft hangs vertically with its upper end fixed. A mass weighing 16 lb is attached to the lower end. From rest, the mass is pulled down 2 in and released. Find the equation for the resulting motion of the mass, neglecting air resistance. f With m = 16 32 =J).5 slug and k = 48 lb ft. (7) of Problem 1.69 becomes x + 96x = 0, which has as its solution x = C, sin N 96? + C2 cos N 96f (see Problem 8.61). Differentiating with respect to t yields v = dx dt — x 96 (C, cos x 96f — C2 sin x 96/). _When t = we have the initial conditions x = £ and r = 0. Then C2 — £, C1 =0, and x = ^cos N 96f. 11.3 A 20-lb weight suspended from the end of a vertical spring stretches it 6 in. Assuming no external forces and no air resistance, find the position of the weight at any time if initially the weight is pulled down 2 in from its rest position and released. I From Hooke's law (see Problems 1.69 through 1.74). the spring constant k satisfies the equation k{) — 20 or k = 40 lb ft. With m = 20 32 slug. (/) of Problem 1.69 becomes x + 64x = 0. which has as its solution x = C] cos 8f + c 2 sin St (see Problem 8.58). Since x(0) = I and x(0) = 0. we have c, = ^ and c 2 — 0. Thus we have x = £cos8r. 11.4 Solve the previous problem if the weight is initially pulled down 3 in and given an initial velocity of 2 ft s downward. I As in the previous problem v = c ; cos 8f + c 2 sin 8?. Now, however, x(0) — | ft and x(0) = 2 ft/s. Applying these initial conditions, we find that i = x(0) = Cj cos + c 2 sin = c, and 2 = x(0) = —8c, sin + 8c2 cos = 8c 2 Thus c,=c2 = 4; and x = |cos 8f + |sin 8f. 11.5 Determine the motion of a mass m attached to a spring suspended from a fixed mounting if the vibrations are free and undamped. I k The differential equation governing such a system is found in Problem 1.70 to be x H— x = 0, where k is the spring constant. The roots of its characteristic equation are /., = N —k m and /., = - N -k m, or. since both k and m are positive, A, = i x k m and X2 = —iy/k m. Its solution is x = c, cos N k mt + c 2 sin N k mt. Applying the initial conditions x(0) = x and r(0) = r . we obtain c, = x and c2 = t oN m k.

I The motion described by (/) of Problem 11.5 is called simple harmonic motion. The circular frequency of such motion is given by co = yfk/m. The natural frequency, or number of complete oscillations per second, is f = co/2n — (l/2n)yjk/m. The period of the motion, or the time required to complete one oscillation, is T = jf = 2nyjm/k. Determine the circular frequency, natural frequency, and period for the vibrations described in Problem 11.1. I In that problem, k — 64 lb/ft and m = 4 slugs. Using the formulas of the previous problem, we have Circular frequency: co = yJ64/4 — 4 cycles per second = 4 Hz Natural frequency: f — 4/2n = 21it Hz Period: T = l/(2/n) = n/2 s Determine the circular frequency, natural frequency, and period for the vibrations described in Problem 11.2.

Then co = V40/0.625 = 8 Hz; / = 8/2tt = 4/tt Hz; and T = 1/(4/tt) = tc/4 s. Write the displacement found in Problem 1 1.4 in the form x = A cos (cot — cp). I We have k - 40 lb/ft, m = 0.625 slug, - J ft. c = 2 ft/s, and o) - 8 Hz (from Problem 11.10). Substituting these values into the formulas derived in Problem 1 1.6 yields A = V(i) 2 + (2) 2 (0.625/40) = 0.35 ft 2^0.625/40 and cp = arctan 1/4 = arcian 1 - n/4. Thus x — 0.35 cos (8f — it/4). Write the displacement found in Problem 1 1.4 in the form x = A sin (cot + cp). I Since A sin (cot + cp) = A sin cot cos cp + A sin cp cos cor and the displacement is x — cos 8r + sin 8r, we must have co — 8, /I cos c/> = |, and A %'x ^> — . Squaring and adding give (i) 2 +(i) 2 = /l 2 cos 2 tf> + /4 2 sin 2 c6 = A 2 or A = ^= 0.35 Also, because ^ sin </> -4cosc6 1/4 tan = — = 1, we have cp — arctan 1 = n/4. Thus x = 0.35 sin (8r + n/4). A 20-g mass suspended from the end of a vertical spring stretches the spring 4 cm from its natural length. Assuming no external forces on the mass and no air resistance, find the position of the mass at any time t if it is pulled 1 cm below its equilibrium position and set into motion with an initial velocity of 0.5 cm/s in the upward direction.

In addition, m = 20 g, x = 1 cm, and v = -0.5 cm/s (the minus sign is required because the initial velocity is in the upward or negative direction). Then from Problem 1.70 we have x + 245x = 0.

It follows from Problem 11.23 that critically damped motion will occur when = a 2 — 4km = a 2 — 4(64)(4) or when a = 32 slugs/s. 11.37 Assume the system described in Problem 11.13 is surrounded by a medium that offers a resistance in pounds equal to ax, where a is a constant. Determine the value of a that generates critically damped motion. f Here m = 20 g and k = 4900 dynes/cm. It follows from Problem^ 11.23 that critically damped motion will occur when = a 2 - 4km = a 2 - 4(4900)(20) or when a = 280 v 5 g/s. 11.38 A 10-kg mass is attached to a spring having a spring constant of 140 N/m. The mass is started in motion from the equilibrium position with an initial velocity of 1 m/s in the upward direction and with an applied external force F(t) = 5 sin t. Find the subsequent motion of the mass if the force due to air resistance is — 90x N. # Here m = 10, k = 140, a = 90, and F(t) = 5 sin t.

These terms quickly die out. and they represent the transient part of the motion. The terms that are part of the particular solution (see Problem 9.89) do not die out as t -* oo, so they comprise the steady-state portion of the motion. Observe that the steady-state portion has the same frequency as the forcing function. 11.40 A 1-slug mass is attached to a spring having a spring constant of 8 lb/ft.

The latter, namely f sin4f — |cos4f, is the steady-state part of the solution. The steady-state oscillations have a period and frequency equal to those of the forcing function. F(t) = 16cos4f. The natural frequency is / = 4/2tt = 0.637 Hz, while the amplitude of the steady-state vibrations is A = V(4/5) 2 + (-2/5) 2 = V20/5. 11.42 Derive the differential equation governing the motion of the mass in Problem 11.30 if, in addition, the "fixed" end of the spring undergoes a motion y = cos 4f ft. # Take the origin as the equilibrium position of the spring with the mounting fixed (y = 0). and let x denote the distance of the mass from the origin (see Fig. 11.1).

The weight is started in motion with no initial velocity of displacing it 6 in above the equilibrium position and by simultaneously applying to the weight an external force F{t) — 8 sin 4f. Assuming no air resistance, find the equation of motion of the weight. f Here m = 4, k = 64, a = 0, and F(t) = 8 sin 4r; hence, (1) of Problem 1.69 becomes x + 16x = 2 sin At.

Applying the initial conditions x(0) — }, ft and x(0) = 0, we find that c t = { and c 2 — 0. Then x(f) = gCos8f + 4f sin8f. 11.50 Describe (physically) the motion of the previous problem as t increases. I As t increases, the term At sin 8f increases numerically without bound so that the amplitude of the motion increases without bound. The spring will ultimately break. This illustrates the phenomenon of resonance and shows what can happen when the frequency of the applied force is equal to the natural frequency of the system. 11.51 A mass of 16 lb is attached to a spring for which k — 48 lb ft. Find the motion of the mass if. from rest, the support of the spring is given a motion y — sin N 3gt ft. I We take the origin at the center of the mass when it is at rest, and let x represent the change in position of the mass at time t.

It is simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 10 cm, a period of n s, and a natural frequency of /n Hz. The particle starts out at x = 10 cm at time zero and begins moving toward the origin, picking up speed as it moves. Its velocity is greatest in absolute value (i.e., its speed is greatest) at time t = n/4, when the particle reaches the origin. The velocity is negative at that time, so the particle continues through the origin; it begins slowing as its acceleration changes sign. The velocity reaches zero at time t = n/2, when x = - 10. (Thus, at time t = n/2, the particle is at rest 10 cm to the left of the origin.) The particle then begins picking up velocity as it is accelerated toward the origin. It reaches the origin (x = 0) at t = 3n/4 with maximum speed. Once it is through the origin, its velocity decreases until it again comes to rest at time t = n, now at x = 10. This completes one cycle of the motion; the particle will continue to repeat that cycle in the absence of other forces. the left (i.e., negative).

When x > 0, the net repellent force is to the right (i.e., positive) and is kx. When x < 0, the net repellent force is to the left (i.e., negative) and is also kx.

I With k — m and x = 12, the result of the previous problem becomes x(r) = 6(e' + e~'). Therefore, the velocity is v(x) = dx/dt — 6(e' — e~'). At t = 2, these equations become x(2) = 6(e 2 + e~ 2 ) = 45.15 ft and i;(2) = 6(e 2 -e- 2 ) = 43.5ft/s. 11.60 Determine when the particle described in the previous problem will be 18 ft from the origin, and find its velocity at that time. I Setting x(t) = 6{e' + e~') — 18 and solving for t, we obtain e 1 + e~' — 3 = 0. Multiplying this last equation by e' and rearranging then yield (e') 2 — 3e' + 1 = 0, which may be solved for e' with the quadratic formula. Thus, we find e' = - '-—— and f = In —=-—. Since time is positive in this problem, we discard the negative choice and take t — 0.962 s. At that time, the velocity is r(0.962) = 6(e 0.962 — e 0.986 )= 13.4 ft/s. 11.61 Determine the equation of motion for a mass m that is projected vertically upward from a point on the ground if the resistance of the air is proportional to its velocity.

HORIZONTAL-BEAM PROBLEMS 11.69 Derive the differential equation for the deflection (bending) of a uniform (in material and shape) beam under specified loadings. I It is convenient to think of the beam as consisting of fibers running lengthwise. In the bent beam shown in Fig. 1 1.6, the fibers of the upper half are compressed and those of the lower half are stretched, the two halves being separated by a neutral surface whose fibers are neither compressed nor stretched. The fiber which originally coincided with the horizontal axis of the beam now lies in the neutral surface along a curve called the elastic curve (or curve of deflection). We seek the equation of this curve. P(x.v) Fig. 11.6 11.70 Consider a cross section of the beam at a distance x from one end. Let AB be its intersection with the neutral surface, and P its intersection with the elastic curve. It is shown in mechanics that the moment M with respect to AB of all external forces acting on either of the two segments into which the beam is separated by the cross EI section is independent of the segment considered and is given by M = —, where E is the modulus of R elasticity of the beam, / is the moment of inertia of the cross section with respect to AB, and R is the radius of curvative of the elastic curve at P. For convenience, we think of the beam as being replaced by its elastic curve, and the cross section by point P. We take the origin at the left end of the beam, with the x axis horizontal, and let P have coordinates (x, y). Since the slope dy/dx of the elastic curve is numerically small at all points, we have, approximately, R = [1 + (dy/dx) 2 ] 312 1 d2 y/dx2 ~ d 2 y/dx~' so that M = El d^y_ dx2 The bending moment M at the cross section (or at point P of the elastic curve) is the algebraic sum of the moments of the external forces acting on the segment of the beam (or segment of the elastic curve) about line AB in the cross section (or about point P of the elastic curve). We assume that upward forces give positive moments and downward forces give negative moments.

BUOYANCY PROBLEMS 11.86 Determine a differential equation describing the vertical motion of a cylinder partially submerged in a liquid of density p, under the assumption that the motion is not damped. I Denote the radius of the cylinder as R, its height as H, and its weight as W. Archimedes' principle states that an object that is submerged (either partially or totally) in a liquid is acted on by an upward force equal to the weight of the liquid displaced. Equilibrium occurs when the buoyant force upward on the cylinder is precisely equal to the weight of the cylinder. Assume that the axis of the cylinder is vertical, denote it by y, and take the upward direction to be the positive direction. At equilibrium, with the cylinder partially submerged, nR2 hp = W or h — W/nR2 p, where h is the number of units of the cylinder's height that are submerged at equilibrium (see Fig. 11.15). Let y(t) denote the distance from the surface of the water to the equilibrium position as if it were marked on the cylinder.

The force F{t) can also be described as F(t) = - W + buoyant force. Since the submerged volume of the cylinder can be written nRh - y(?)], we have by Archimedes' principle that Fit) = - W + nR2 [h - y(i)]p = - W + nR2 hp - nR 2 y(t)p. But h was chosen so that W = nR2 hp. so it W follows that F(t) = -nR2 vU)p. and hence - v"(f) = -nR2 v(t)p. 9 ' Therefore, the initial-value problem describing the motion of the cylinder is y H v = y w - v(0) = y y'(0) = vc where y is the initial position of the cylinder, and v its initial velocity. 11.87 In the notation of the previous problem, discuss what happens when W > nR2 Hp. i If the weight W of the cylinder is greater than the buoyant force generated when the entire cylinder is submerged, then the cylinder must sink to the bottom of the liquid. 11.88 A cylinder with radius 3 in and weight 5rc(~ 15.71) lb is floating with its axis vertical in a pool of water (density p = 62.5 lb/ft 3 ).

INVERSE LAPLACE TRANSFORMS AND THEIR USE IN SOLVING DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS D 317 PARTIAL-FRACTION DECOMPOSITIONS 13.56 Develop the method of partial-fraction decomposition. f Every function of the form v(s)/w(s), where v(s) and w(s) are polynomials in s, can be reduced to the sum of other fractions such that the denominator of each new fraction is either a first-degree or a quadratic polynomial raised to some power. The method requires only that (1) the degree of v(s) be less than the degree of w(s) (if this is not the case, first perform long division, and consider the remainder term) and (2) w(s) be factored into the product of distinct linear and quadratic polynomials raised to various powers. The method is carried out as follows: To each factor of w(s) of the form (s — a) m , assign a sum of m fractions, of the form ^1 ^2 i ... i m s-a (s- a) 2 (s - a) m To each factor of w(s) of the form (s 2 + bs + c) p , assign a sum of p fractions, of the form BlS + Cx B2 s + C2 Bp s + Cp s 2 + bs + c (s 2 + bs + c) 2 (s 2 + bs + c) p where Ah Bj, and Ck (i = 1, 2, . . . , m;j, k = 1, 2, . . . , p) are constants which still must be determined. Set the original fraction t;(s)/w(s) equal to the sum of the new fractions just constructed. Clear the resulting equation of fractions, and then equate coefficients of like powers of s, thereby obtaining a set of simultaneous linear equations in the unknown constants At , Bj, and Ck . Finally, solve these equations for Ah Bj, and Ck . 13.57 Use partial fractions to decompose r . V V (s + l)(s 2 + 1) I To the linear factor s+l, we assign the fraction A/(s +1); to the quadratic factor s 2 + 1, we assign the fraction (Bs + C)/(s 2 + 1). We then set 1 A Bs + C + 2 . , U) (S+1)(52 +1) S+l S 2 +l Clearing fractions, we obtain 1 = A(s 2 + 1) + (Bs + C)(s + 1) (2) or s 2 (0) + s(0) + 1 = s 2 (A + B) + s(B + C) + (A + C) Equating coefficients of like powers of s, we conclude that A + B — 0, B + C — 0, and A + C — 1. The solution of this set of equations is A — , B = — , and C = j. Substituting these values into (/), we obtain 1 1/2 -s/2 + 1/2 the partial-fractions decomposition, —— = — = H r — . (s + l)(s 2 + 1) s+l s 2 + 1 The following is an alternative procedure for finding the constants A, B, and C in (7): Since (2) must hold for all s, it must in particular hold for s = — 1. Substituting this value into (2), we immediately find A = . Equation (2) must also hold for s = 0. Substituting this value along with A = into (2), we obtain C = . Finally, substituting any other value of s into (2), we find that B = —. 13.58 Use partial fractions to decompose (s 2 + l)(s 2 + 4s + 8) f To the quadratic factors s 2 + 1 and s 2 + 4s + 8, we assign the fractions (As + B)/(s 2 + 1) and 1 As + B Cs + D ....

Since P(x) = is a constant and Q(x) = x is a first- degree polynomial, both functions are analytic everywhere, and in particular at x = 5; thus x = 5 and every other point are ordinary points. 15.38 Determine whether x = is an ordinary point for the differential equation (x 2 + 4)y" + xy = 0.

Since P(l) and Q{) are undefined, it follows that neither function has a Taylor series about x — 1. so neither function is analytic and x = 1 is not an ordinary point. It is a singular point. Since (x — l)P(x) = x/(x +1) is analytic at x = 1 (see Problem 15.33) and (x — ) 2 Q{x) — — 1 is also analytic at x = 1. it follows that x — 1 is a regular singular point. 15.41 Determine whether x = 1 is an ordinary point for the differential equation (x — l) 2 y" — 2xy' = 0. f 2x This differential equation has the standard form y" —=/ = 0, with P(x) = — 2x/(x — l) 2 and (x - l) 2 Q(x) — 0. Since P(l) in undefined, P(x) does not have a Taylor series at x = 1 and is not analytic there. Therefore, x = 1 is not an ordinary point. Furthermore, (x — l)P(x) = — 2x/(x — 1) also does not have a Taylor series around x = 1, so x = 1 is not a regular singular point; it is an irregular singular point. 15.42 Determine whether x = is an ordinary point for the differential equation e 2xy" + y — 0.

Since P(0) is undefined, P(x) does not possess a Maclaurin-series expansion and is not analytic at x = 0. Accordingly, x = is not an ordinary point. In addition, xP(x) is also undefined at x = 0, so x = is not a regular singular point. 15.44 Determine whether x = 2 is an ordinary point for the differential equation of the previous problem. I P(x) does have a Taylor-series expansion around x = 2 that converges in an interval centered at x = 2 (see Problems 15.14 and 15.15); thus, P(x) is analytic there.

I We first put the differential equation into standard form by dividing by x2 — 4. Then P(x) = and Q(x) — l/(x 2 — 4). Since both P(x) and Q(x) are analytic at x = 1, this point is an ordinary point. At x = 2, however, the denominator of Q(x) is zero; hence Q(x) is not analytic there. Thus, x — 2 is not an ordinary point but a singular point. Note that (x - 2)P(x) = and (x - 2) 2 Q(x) = (x - 2)/(x + 2) are analytic at x = 2, so that x = 2 is a regular singular point. 15.52 Determine whether x = is an ordinary point for 2x2 /' + 7x(x + I)/ — 3y = 0. f Dividing by 2x2 yields P(x) = 7(x + l)/2x and Q{x) = — 3/2x 2 .

I The recursion formula of the previous problem contains the factor p — n. It follows that when n = p, ap+2 = 0. The recursion formula then implies that ap+4. = ap+6 — ap + 8 — • • = 0. Thus, if p is odd, all odd coefficients a„ (n > p) are zero; if p is even, all even coefficients an (n > p) are zero. Thus, one of the bracketed quantities in the solution to the previous problem (depending on whether p is even or odd) will contain only a finite number of terms up to and including xp ; hence it will be a polynomial of degree p. Since a and a y are arbitrary constants, we may choose a x — when p is even and a = when p is odd. If, in addition, we choose the other constant to satisfy the condition y(l) = 1, then the resulting solution is a Legendre polynomial of degree n.

The undetermined coefficients a 2 , a 3 , a4 , . . . may be obtained in terms of a and a x by )l = substituting y and its derivatives into the given differential equation and then equating coefficients of like powers of (x - x ). An alternative approach, which often simplifies the algebra, is to first translate the axis so that x becomes the origin. This is effected by setting t — x — x and substituting into the original differential equation. Under this dy dy dt dy dy substitution, - = —-— = —-(1) = —- and dx dt dx dt dt d2 y _ d (dy_ d (dy _ d (dy dt _ d2 y dt _d2 y d2 y dx^'dx dx) ~ dx dt) " It dt) d~x'~~di 2 dx'~~dt2 ^) ~l?: The solution of the differential equation that results can be obtained as a power-series expansion about f = 0.
