    How Does Centrifugal Force Affect Weight on a Curved Train Track?

    A train is running smoothly along a curved track at the rate of 50 m/s. A passenger standing on a set of scales observes that his weight is 10% greater than when the train is at rest. The track is banked so that the force acting on the passenger is normal to the floor of the train. What is the...

    Variation of Parameters Differential Eq.

    Hmm that is the way our professor told us how to do it. Also another way someone had told me to do it was doing the wronskian twice.. there seems to be so many ways to do this type of problem

    Linearly Dependent Differential Equations

    ok, I got that A17 has to equal -6 to make it zero, so then that would mean A=-6/17, so the final answer would be (-6/17)17 + 3(2sin²x)+2(3cos²x)=0, Correct? And thanks for the help

    Solutions of Differential Equations with Initial Value Problems

    OK, so then I would get C2 = 3, Then I would do the derivative of y and get -9sin3x+3c3cos3x, and use y'(0)=-1, so that would be -1=-9sin-3+3c3cos-3

    Linearly Dependent Differential Equations

    So basically something like: 3g(x) + 2h(x) =6sin²x + 6cos²x = 6, but then where do I go from there?
