Homework Statement
m' = G O^1/2 m^(-1/2)
where m' = dm/dt. Find m by integrating this expression wrt to time (indefinite).
Homework Equations
We have G = m'/m
and O = constant/G^2
and m is a function of time m(t)
The Attempt at a Solution
I know that integral of m'/m = ln m, so that means I can integrate the G part. I have tried to integrate O by taking the constant outside the integral, which leaves an integral of [1/(G^2)]^(1/2) or just [G^(-2)]^(1/2) or [(m'/m)^(-2)]^(1/2) I am not sure what form is easiest to work with, and have no idea how to start with this part! Could I use the substitution rule? I can't see how...
The last part is an integral of m^(-1/2) which is 2m^(1/2).
I also have no idea how to combine the three different parts together to give the final equation for the integral.
