    Solving Differential Equation xy'' - y' + 4x^3y = 0 with Self Adjoint Form

    my values were for t not x, I forgot to substitute them back in y = Acos(2t) + Bsin(2t) where t = x^2/2 it works now Thanks for your help

    Solving Differential Equation xy'' - y' + 4x^3y = 0 with Self Adjoint Form

    I get m=+-sqrt(-4) =+-2i y = exp(alpha*x){Acos(beta*x)+Bcos(beta*x)} where alpha is real and beta is imaginary therefore alpha is = 0 beta is = 2 y = Acos(2x)+Bsin(2x)

    Solving Differential Equation xy'' - y' + 4x^3y = 0 with Self Adjoint Form

    I put it into the normal version of the self adjoint form. Where d/dx{p(x)dy/dx}+q(x)y=0 t = integral of 1/p(x) = x^3/3 dt/dx = x^2 dy/dx = dy/dt.dt/dx = dy/dt.x^2 etc. Then solved using the auxiliary equation. It probably is my working that is wrong, however the question I...

    Solving Differential Equation xy'' - y' + 4x^3y = 0 with Self Adjoint Form

    I have got a general solution for the equation xy'' - y' + 4x^3y = 0, x > 0 by converting to the normal version of the self adjoint form and solving with an auxiliary equation I have y = Acos(2x) + Bsin(2x) It then asks to select two independent solutions and verify the wronskian...

    Why Does the Epsilon Delta Rule Simplify Expressions in Vector Calculus?

    The epsilon delta rule states \epsilon_{ijk}\epsilon_{pqk}=\delta_{ip}\delta_{jq}-\delta_{iq}\delta_{jp} I am constantly using this but get stuck when it is applied. For example \epsilon_{ijk}\epsilon_{pqk}A_{j}B_{l}C_{m}=(\delta_{ip}\delta_{jq}-\delta_{iq}\delta_{jp})A_{j}B_{l}C_{m}...

    can anybody give me an example of average clamping forces for vehicles

    Average Clamping Forces for Vehicle Brake Calipers

    That can't be true. I have a car stopping with kinetic friction as u*m*g = 0.7 * 1000 * 9.8 = 6860N I thought static (ABS) is more effective than kinetic Static coefficient * force = 0.5 * 422 = 211N This can't be right

    Average Clamping Forces for Vehicle Brake Calipers

    does this mean the static frictional force is independent of vehicle mass?

    Average Clamping Forces for Vehicle Brake Calipers

    I have a specification for a brake caliper that states its clamping force is equal to 4136kg. I know force doesn't equal 4136 but what does clamping force mean then

    Average Clamping Forces for Vehicle Brake Calipers

    If a brake caliper exerts 1000kg on a brake pad what is the force due to the this weight? It can't be umg because there is no g in horizontal weight. Does g = 1 Therefore F = m

    Can anybody shed some light on anti-lock braking systems?

    does anybody know where I can find some real life examples of the forces and pressures exerted by the brake pads?

    Can anybody shed some light on anti-lock braking systems?

    Can anybody shed some light on anti-lock braking systems? I currently have a model that calculates a vehicle stopping using kinetic sliding friction i.e. it skids to a stop with coefficient of friction at around 0.7 asphalt/tyre or tire which ever you prefer ABS I believe maintains static...

    Understanding the Relationship Between Force, Displacement, and Distance

    brilliant you guys are the masters! That was what I was looking for thank. If you have time could you take look a section of my report deriving drag and tell me what you think?
