Homework Statement



Use convolution theorem to solve:

\mathfrak{L} \left \{t\int_{0}^{t} \sin \tau d\tau \right \}

Do not solve the integral.

Homework Equations



"Convolution Theorem" in textbook is stated as:

\mathfrak{L}\left \{ f*g \right \}=F(s)G(s)f*g=\int_{0}^{t} \ f(\tau )g(t-\tau ) d\tau

The Attempt at a Solution



Not quite sure how to approach this one with convolution and not solving the integral.

I need a t-τ instead of a t, but I can't have τ's in my Laplace because they won't go to S-space with any meaning.

Answer in book is :

\frac{3s^2+1}{s^2(s^2+1)^2}working backwards only leads me to a partial fraction type inverse transform.

Thanks in advance for help!

Perhaps the idea is to use the property
$$\mathfrak{L}\{t f(t)\} = -F'(s) $$ where
$$f(t) = \int_0^t \sin \tau \, d\tau, $$ and to find F(s) using the convolution theorem.

Thanks Vela, that's exactly it
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
