y=km(ln(cosh(gt/km)^(1/2)))
constants k and m
dy/dx=gtanh((gt/km)^(1/2))/(2(gt/km)^(1/2))...?

Don't think so, but I'm not sure how the problem is actually stated.

Is it
a)[tex]y = km~ln(\sqrt{cosh(gt/(km))}~)[/tex]

or
b)[tex]y = km~ln(cosh(\sqrt{gt/(km)}~))[/tex]
?
As you wrote the problem, it would be a, but your derivative (which should be dy/dt) suggests it is b.
 
b sorry my mistake I am working on the second derivative now it seems a bit to messy but I don't see an error in y'
