Trying to make a calculation and I ran into the following diff equation:
r''=a+b/r^2
And I can't seem to remember how one would go about solving it.
b = 1355041.84
r(0) = 1400
r(t) = 239.6
r'(o) = 0
r'(t) = 75.2
a = ?
I'm specifically looking to find the value of the constant a. If someone could drop off a quick solution that would be great!
(Note: this is part of an attempt to calculate the maximum acceleration of a starship from a video game cutscene as it approaches a small(is) object with a powerful gravity field)
