Thanks Torquil. I have to solve this using Eulers method: yn+1 = yn + hf(xn,yn) xn+1 = xn + h where h is a step in x, to be chosen. y=height of water(original h) x=t f(x,y) = dh/dt As there is no t on the rhs of the differential equation will this formula work? n=o : yn=0(t=o)=0 n=1 : yn=1 =...

I have to set up a differential equation for a leaking cylindrical container that is being refilled at a constant rate. Its leaking from the bottom, refilled from the top, and starts empty. Wondered if someone could check if what i have done so far is right..? h=height of water A=cylinder...

Why does the shear modulus of a metal decrease with increasing temperature, on an atomic scale? Is it something to do with electrons gaining more energy allowing "layers" to slide around more easily??
