    Fourier transform to solve diff equation

    F\left[ \frac{\partial f}{\partial x} \right] = ikF[f] http://www.thefouriertransform.com/transform/properties.php#derivative where 2*f*pi = k Looking over some properties, I can't seem to find what this would transform to. I think we can agree that x needs to go on the RHS and y...

    Fourier transform to solve diff equation

    Homework Statement Use Fourier transform to find the solution of the following differential equation: \frac{\mathrm{d^3}y }{\mathrm{d} x^3}+ \lambda \frac{\mathrm{dy} }{\mathrm{d} x} - xy = 0, \lim_{x \to \infty } y(x)=0 Find the asymptotic of the solution for lambda>> 1. Normalize the...

    How to Write a Dynamical Equation for a Simple Rigid Body System?

    I used 1/3 because the conversion from angular to tangential is a/r or v/r.. and the ball is 3a away. The equation should have the input force in it though.

    How to Write a Dynamical Equation for a Simple Rigid Body System?

    Ok, well I see that angular acceleration is equal to tangental accel/radius and angular velocity is equal to tangental velocity / radius and angular position is equal to tangental position / radius so... (1/3)m\ddot{x}=-(1/3)\dot{x}-kx on to something?

    How to Write a Dynamical Equation for a Simple Rigid Body System?

    my only question is, wouldn't angular velocity introduce a theta term into the dynamical equation? how would you handle that?

    How to Write a Dynamical Equation for a Simple Rigid Body System?

    Are you talking about finding the actual distance x the ball drops down once the 5N force is applied? I would think you take a moment at point O to find the force of the spring the instant after the system is released.. which would give you \sum Mo=0 ; 5N(3a)+(kx)(a)=0 kx= (5N*3a)/(a) =...

    How to Write a Dynamical Equation for a Simple Rigid Body System?

    Homework Statement Assume a rigid body with a massless rod that pivots about point O. Displacement x is measured from equilibrium position. Assuming x is small, that the weight at the end of the rod is 5N and spring constant is 400n/m, obtain the dynamical equation of the system...

    Multi-Step linear systems problem - Build ODE, impulse response, systems balance

    (I made a mistake with the 1/10 term, should be +) anywaysOK! I think I figured it out..You can sub the integral parts for a variable.. in this case i'll call it Y So I solve for Y, plug it back in where the integral was. for y I ended up with Y = (100/101)(20et/10 - et/10cos(t) +...

    Multi-Step linear systems problem - Build ODE, impulse response, systems balance

    So I redid my integration and got.. et/10x = 20et/10 - et/10cos(t) - (1/10)et/10sin(t) - (1/100) \intet/10sin(t)dt cmon brain don't fail me now.. i still don't see it arg

    Multi-Step linear systems problem - Build ODE, impulse response, systems balance

    I'm all for the easy way (dont shoot me!) but what I don't see in your way is why you only multiplied one side by the integrating factor. Should you multiply the other side as well?

    Multi-Step linear systems problem - Build ODE, impulse response, systems balance

    As of right now I'm still stumped.. but I did realize I made a mistake with a sign. After integrating twice I end with:et/10x = 20et/10 + 10et/10sin(t) - 100et/10cos(t) - 100 \intet/10sin(t)dt I think I might see something.. \intet/10sin(t)dt = et/10x-20et/10?Still a noob with the symbols...

    Multi-Step linear systems problem - Build ODE, impulse response, systems balance

    I think its coming back to me.. I need to find an integrating factor I found that the integrating factor would be e-.1t If I multiply both sides by it and integrate I end up with: e-.1tx = -20e-.1t+int(sin(t)e-.1tdt) So I end up having the int(sin(t)e-.1tdt) Which isn't being...

    Multi-Step linear systems problem - Build ODE, impulse response, systems balance

    I messed up on the title of the thread.. I had a few questions but ended up solving them on my own. The only question I have is how to solve this ODE. Thanks. Homework Statement Solve the ODE (dx/dt)= f(t) - .1x Where f(t) = 2+sin(t)2. The attempt at a solution I faintly remember doing...
