y = (csc(x) + cot(x) )^-1 Find dy/dx

I'm coming back to maths (calculus of variations) after a long hiatus, and am a little rusty. I can't remember how to do the following derivative: ## \frac{d}{d\epsilon}\left(\sqrt{1 + (y' + \epsilon g')^2}\right) ## where ##y, g## are functions of ##x## I know I should substitute say ##u = 1...

This question came up in a lecture, and I wasn't really satisfied with how it was solved. Specifically, they assumed that the hanging part of the chain has zero horizontal velocity. What they did was essentially write down the equation ##m\ddot{x} = \frac{mg}{l} x##, which under the above...

My solution: For the horizontal portion of the chain: let at any instant the length of chain inside the tube is x, and at that instant the chain in the tube is having a velocity v. Then, at any instant: ##F = \frac{\mathrm{d} p}{\mathrm{d} t}## ##p##= mass of the chain in the tube at the...

The note I get from the teacher states that for transition matrix, the column part will be current state and the row part will be future state (let this be matrix A) so the sum of each column must be equal to 1. But I read from another source, the row part is the current state and the column...

\[ \frac{\partial \dot{r}}{\partial \dot{q_k}} = \frac{\partial r}{\partial q_k} \] where \[ r = r(q_1,...,q_n,t \] solution \[ \frac{dr }{dt } = \frac{\partial r}{\partial t} + \sum_{i} \frac{\partial r}{\partial q_i}\frac{\partial q_i}{\partial t}\] \[ \dot{r} = \frac{\partial r}{\partial t}...

A chain with length L and mass density σ kg/m is held in the position shown in Fig. 5.28, with one end attached to a support.

I literally don't know what's going wrong today, I can't seem to get anything right :oldconfused:. The velocity in S' is easy enough $$v' = \frac{dx'}{dt'} = \frac{\partial f}{\partial t} \frac{\partial t}{\partial t'} + \frac{\partial f}{\partial x}\frac{\partial x}{\partial t}\frac{\partial...

y(x,t) = 1/2 h(x-vt) + 1/2 h(x+vt) This is from the textbook "quantum mechancs" by Rae. The derivative is given as dy/dt = -v1/2 h(x-vt) + v1/2 h(x+vt) I'm not quite sure how this is? If I use the chain rule and set the function h(x-vt) = u Then by dy/dt = dy/du x du/dt I will get (for the...

In D Alembert's soln to wave equation two new variables are defined ##\xi## = x - vt ##\eta## = x + vt x is therefore a function of ##\xi## , ##\eta## , v and t. For fixed phase speed, v and given instant of time, x is a function of ##\xi## and ##\eta##. Therefore partial derivative of x w.r.t...

Solution: ##\frac{\partial z}{\partial x} = yx^{y -1}+1## ##\frac{\partial z}{\partial t} =\frac{\partial z}{\partial x}\frac{\partial x}{\partial t}+\frac{\partial z}{\partial y}\frac{\partial y}{\partial t}## ##\frac{\partial z}{\partial t} = (\frac{yx^{y-1} + 1}{2\sqrt{s+t}}) +...

I had already calculated the first partial derivative to equal the following: $$\frac{\partial y}{\partial t} = \frac{\partial v}{\partial x} \frac{\partial x}{\partial t} + \frac{\partial v}{\partial t}$$ Now the second partial derivative I can use the chain rule to do and get to...

If we have an equation ##g (q,w) =f(q,-w)## and we want to find the derivative of that equation with respect to w, we would normally do $$\frac {dg}{dw} = \frac {d}{dw} f(q,-w) = \frac {df}{d(-w)} \frac {d(-w)}{dw} = -\frac {df}{d(-w)} $$ but my friend is saying that $$\frac {dg}{dw}= -\frac...
