Analysis Problem (finding a derivative)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the derivative of the function f(x, y) defined as the integral of h(t) from sin(xy) to cos(xy). The derivative f' is expressed in terms of partial derivatives with respect to x and y. It is confirmed that the antiderivative H of h exists due to the continuity of h. The final expression for f' incorporates terms involving h evaluated at the limits of integration, multiplied by the respective derivatives of the limits. The calculations and assumptions presented in the discussion are validated, concluding that the approach is correct.

Suppose that h : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} is continuous.
Calculate f', if f : \mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R} is the function:

f(x, y) = \int _{\sin (xy)} ^{\cos (xy)} h(t)dt

I have:

f' = \left [D_1f(x, y) \ \ \ \ D_2f(x, y)\right ] = \left [\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} \ \ \ \ \frac{\partial f}{\partial y}\right ]

= \left [\frac{\partial}{\partial x}\int_{\sin (xy)} ^{\cos (xy)} h(t)dt \ \ \ \ \frac{\partial}{\partial y}\int_{\sin (xy)} ^{\cos (xy)} h(t)dt\right ]

Let H be the antiderivative of h (can I assume it exists from the continuity of h? I would think so), then:

f' = \left [\frac{\partial}{\partial x}H(\cos xy) - H(\sin xy) \ \ \ \ \frac{\partial}{\partial y}H(\cos xy) - H(\sin xy)\right ]

f' = -\left [y(\sin (xy)h(\cos (xy)) + \cos (xy)h(\sin (xy))) \ \ \ \ x(\sin (xy)h(\cos (xy)) + \cos (xy)h(\sin (xy)))\right ]

Is this right? Thanks.

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
