    Undergrad Very Simple Question, : Integral of a derivative squared

    re I thought that there was an easy equivalence like: \int(dx/dt)dt = x I guess not! thanks for your help in any case.

    Undergrad Very Simple Question, : Integral of a derivative squared

    hi, thanks for your answers. x(t) is not known that is why I am not sure how to do it. Otherwise what Nick mentioned would be easily applicable. Any other ideas? What do you mean by partial integration dirk_mec1? Thanks!

    Particle dynamics on a cosine path.

    Hello, I have attached the problem that I am referring to. Basically I have a particle traveling on a path defined by a cosine function and I want the equations of motion with respect to the inertial system, if the particle is under the influence of friction and gravity. I have calculated...

    Navier Stokes Equations - General Question

    (This is from the perspective of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics) In the Navier Stokes equations I am confused as to why there is both a pressure term and a gravity term. Is this pressure resulting from differences in densities and temperature differences alone? I would think that the gravity term...
