In Problems 15–18, find all critical points for the given system. Then use a software package to sketch the direction field in the phase plane and from this description the stability of the critical points (i.e., compare with Figure 5.12).
In Problems 19–24, convert the given second-order equation into the first-order system by setting v=y’. Then find all the critical points in the yv-plane. Finally, sketch (by hand or software) the direction fields, and describe the stability of the critical points (i.e., compare with Figure 5.12).
Logistic Model.In Section 3.2 we discussed the logistic equation\(\frac{{{\bf{dp}}}}{{{\bf{dt}}}}{\bf{ = A}}{{\bf{p}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{p - A}}{{\bf{p}}^{\bf{2}}}{\bf{,p(0) = }}{{\bf{p}}_{\bf{o}}}\)and its use in modeling population growth. A more general model might involve the equation\(\frac{{{\bf{dp}}}}{{{\bf{dt}}}}{\bf{ = A}}{{\bf{p}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{p - A}}{{\bf{p}}^{\bf{r}}}{\bf{,p(0) = }}{{\bf{p}}_{\bf{o}}}\)where r>1. To see the effect of changing the parameter rin (25), take \({{\bf{p}}_{\bf{1}}}\)= 3, A= 1, and \({{\bf{p}}_{\bf{o}}}\)= 1. Then use a numerical scheme such as Runge–Kutta with h= 0.25 to approximate the solution to (25) on the interval\(0 \le {\bf{t}} \le 5\) for r= 1.5, 2, and 3What is the limiting population in each case? For r>1, determine a general formula for the limiting population.
A building consists of two zones A and B (see Figure 5.5). Only zone A is heated by a furnace, which generates 80,000 Btu/hr. The heat capacity of zone A is per thousand Btu. The time constant for heat transfer between zone A and the outside is 4 hr, between the unheated zone B and the outside is 5 hr, and between the two zones is 2 hr. If the outside temperature stays at , how cold does it eventually get in the unheated zone B?

Suppose the coupled mass-spring system of Problem(Figure 5.31) is hung vertically from support (with mass above ), as in Section4.10, page226.
(a) Argue that at equilibrium, the lower spring is stretched a distance from its natural length, given by.
(b) Argue that at equilibrium, the upper spring is stretched a distance.
(c) Show that ifand are redefined to be displacements from the equilibrium positions of the masses and , then the equations of motion are identical with those derived in Problem 1.
