Solving for Orthogonal Trajectories
Ok, I figured out the answer. I think it's answer choice C. It's just my answer has something like 2c as one of the constant, and I guess the answer choice reduce it down to just C. Btw, I didn't graph the equation; it is a homogenous equation and can be solve that way; just the algebra...- vorse

How to Solve a Differential Equation for Water Flow in a Cylindrical Tank
all i got to is [ A/ k-αa (2gh(t))^1/2 ] dh = dtsee the A is divided by ( k-αa (2gh(t))^1/2) so, in a clearer way to write it [A / ( k-αa (2gh(t))^1/2)]dh = dt btw, what programs are out there where I can type math equations on the comp?- vorse

How to Solve a Differential Equation for Water Flow in a Cylindrical Tank
well, I tried separating the denominator into the form f(x) = A/cx+d +B/dx+e, etc... i think it's called partial separating integration or something, not sure, but that didn't work out. I think I'm here is because I don't know how to integrate the following equation.- vorse

I was afraid you'd said I have to graph the equation; I can never make heads to tail of what I draw out.- vorse

How to Solve a Differential Equation for Water Flow in a Cylindrical Tank
A and a are different; they are both constant however, so it shouldn't matter much in the integration; "The LHS is of the form (P + Q√h)dh … so just integrate it." what do you mean by this form? If i let u = P+Q√h then du = 1/2Q(h)^-1/2 right? and this substitution doesn't work. I...- vorse

Finding time of travel by falling object in drag coeeficient
0 = -39t - 156.8e^(-1/4)t + 156.8 ; after substituting m = 10kg ; g = -9.8; and k = 2.5 sorry, forgot the t from this equation; if you follow the work I did, you'll see. Still, not sure how to solve for t- vorse

How to Solve a Differential Equation for Water Flow in a Cylindrical Tank
Homework Statement Water is pumped into a cylindrical tank with cross section area A at a constant rate k, and leaks out through a hole of area a in the bottom of the tank at the rate αa (2gh(t))^1/2 where g is the acceleration due to gravity, h(t) is the depth of water in the tank at...- vorse

What is the Maximum Magnitude of a Vector Sum?
I know what the answer it. I just don't know how the answer key got there. There are some rules that constrain the addition/subtraction of magnitude of vectors, but I don't know what they are. I am searching the net but to no avail.P.S Thanks for the welcome.- vorse
