Differential Equations 2 order and objectives

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around solving various second-order differential equations, including both theoretical and applied problems. Participants seek assistance with specific equations and their solutions, while also addressing the expectations for posting attempted solutions.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant presents multiple differential equations, expressing confusion about how to approach solving them.
  • Another participant requests that the original poster share their attempted solutions, emphasizing that this is a common practice on the forum.
  • Clarification is sought regarding the variable 'S' in the context of the parachutist problem, as well as the direction of the parachutist's descent.
  • A participant expresses difficulty in understanding the original poster's explanation and suggests that clearer communication is needed.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on the solutions to the differential equations, and participants have differing views on the expectations for posting attempts and clarity of communication.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not provided detailed assumptions or specific methods for solving the equations, and there are unresolved questions regarding the context of the parachutist problem.

Help pls decide this Differential Equations!I did not coincide with the answer and in some no idea how to do! will be very grateful if you start a proper solution to Us
1) y(4)+2*a2*y''+a4*y= cos(ax)
2) y' = x + 1/y; y(0)=1
3) y' = 2*x + cos(y); y(0) = 0
4) y(x) - λ*(0 to pi)∫(x*sin(t)*y(t)*dt = 0 (find λ and y(x))
5) Parachutist descends on a parachute! Gravity parashyuta F1 = mg, and the force of air resistance F2 = k * v ^ 2, k = const find speed through chute t0 seconds after the shutter and the path traversed by S while!

Pls post your attempted solutions first. (This seems to be the style on this forum.)
In 5), what's S? Is the parachutist going straight down or is there some initial horizontal movement from the aircraft?
 
S WAY The past parachuter for t0 seconds
Now throw in a sample solution to my
2 and 3 I solution explains such events
but I do not know to 5 like to approach

Thanks. It is more than "style"- it is required that you show your own attempts. There are a number of reasons. First this is not a "we do your homework for you so you never have to learn" website! Second, in order to know what kinds of hints will help, we need to know what you do understand about the problem, what kinds of things you have already tried, and where you are having trouble.

Sorry, but I didn't understand any of that. Can you get help for your posts from someone with a better command of English?
