This is the integral that I am having trouble with
[tex]\frac{dh}{dt} = -0.064*\sqrt{h}[/tex]
I hope you will kindly nudge me to the point where I have made a mistake
I did this problem by hand (and can scan and present if anyone is interested.)
Anyway, I used Maple to check my work and found that I must have made a mistake during integration because I am missing a term.
Here is my work:
[tex]\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{h}} dh = -0.064 \int dt[/tex]
Using integration by substitution:
[tex]u = \sqrt{h}[/tex]
[tex]du = \frac{1}{\sqrt{h}} dh[/tex]
[tex]\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{h}} dh \rightarrow 2\int \frac{u}{u} du \rightarrow 2*\sqrt{h}[/tex]
After integration by substitution and the simple integration on the RHS:
[tex]2*\sqrt{h} = -0.064*t+C_{1}[/tex]
Putting the equation in General form:
[tex]\sqrt{h}+0.032*t=C_{1}[/tex]
The problem is occurring before this point (I believe)
[tex]h = -0.001024*t^{2}+C_{1}[/tex]
This was an initial value problem with h(0) = 10;
But, the problem occurs before this point (as I stated above).
Because, the general solution of the IVP in Maple includes a single term in t, where the solution I found below - does not.
Using h(0)=10;
[tex]h = -0.001024*t^{2} + 10;[/tex]
The answer I found with Maple (for my own reference, I suppose
[tex]h(t) = \frac{16}{15625}*t^{2}-\frac{8}{125}*t*\sqrt{10}+10[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dh}{dt} = -0.064*\sqrt{h}[/tex]
