Homework Statement
I have no idea how to solve this differential equasion:(d^2y/ds^2)=L^2/(y^3)
where L is constant. It looks like a inhomogenius DE but what should I do with y^3?

The Power Law Trick is a technique used to solve differential equations of the form L^2/(y^3). It involves rewriting the equation in terms of the variable y^2 and then using the power rule to solve for y. This allows for a simpler and more straightforward solution to the differential equation.
No, the Power Law Trick is specifically designed for solving differential equations of the form L^2/(y^3). It may not work for other types of differential equations and other techniques should be used for those cases.
The Power Law Trick allows for a quicker and more efficient solution to differential equations of the form L^2/(y^3). It simplifies the equation and makes it easier to solve for the variable y, which is the main goal in solving a differential equation.
Yes, the Power Law Trick may not work for all types of differential equations. It is also important to note that it may not always provide the most accurate solution, and it is always recommended to double check the answer using other methods.
No, the Power Law Trick is only applicable for first order differential equations of the form L^2/(y^3). For higher order differential equations, other techniques such as the Power Series Method or Variation of Parameters should be used.
