Homework Statement


I'm doing a dynamics question and I'm stuck with an integral.
dv
------------------------
14-0.0003v2

The Attempt at a Solution


I know how to do it without the 14 term, but not this way. In fact, don't really have any ideas either. I mean, if the bottom could be expressed as a square of a difference, that would make it easier, but in this way, I don't know.

Thanks for any help

Hi Melawrghk! :smile:

Do you mean ∫dv/(14-0.0003v2) ?

Hint: partial fractions. :wink:
 
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...
