Solving the differential equation of planetary motion

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a user's attempt to solve the differential equation of planetary motion, noting that their solution does not align with the general solution. They express confusion over why differentiating their result twice does not yield the original equation. The user is familiar with solving methods involving the Complementary Function (CF) and Particular Integral (PI) but seeks clarification on the errors in their approach. Other participants indicate difficulty in understanding the user's equations and suggest a simpler solution might be beneficial. The conversation emphasizes the need for clearer communication and understanding of the differential equation methods used.

Hey, this is how i tried solving the differential equation
1Dhki.png

The solution however does not match the general solution of the equation. Also differentiating it twice does not give me the previous equation. Please tell me if i did some mistake while solving.
I already know how to solve by finding CF and PI. I want to know what's wrong with this method.

I have already seen this derivation. Here the differential equation is solved by finding Central function and Particular Integral of the Differential equation. I want to know what's wrong with the method that i have used. Both of them are not giving the same result.
 
Sorry I don't understand your equations or where they came from. I thought you were looking for a simpler solution
 

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
