Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) It has been shown that xtsatisfies the equation (18)x(4)(t)+5x''(t)+4x(t)=37cos3t.

(b) x(t)=c1cost+c2sint+c3cos2t+c4sin2t+3740cos3t

(c) y(t)=2c1cost+2c2sint-c3cos2t-c4sin2t-3×3720cos3t

(d) The displacement functions x and y are

x(t)=238cost-95cos2t+3740cos3ty(t)=234cost+95cos2t-3×3740cos3t

Step by step solution

01

Solving the given equation 

Let's rewrite the given system in operator form:

2D2+6[x]-2[y]=0-2[x]+D2+2[y]=37cos3t

One wants to obtain the equation for x so we will eliminate y from the system. To do so one will multiply the first equation by D2+2 and the second by 2 and then add them together:

D2+6D2+2[x]-2D2+2[y]=0-4[x]+2D2+2[y]=2×37cos3t2D2+6D2+2-4[x]=2×37cos3t

2D4+4D2+6D2+12-4[x]=2×37cos3t2D4+5D2+4[x]=2×37cos3tD4+5D2+4[x]=37cos3t

Rewriting this back in standard form we have that xtsatisfies

x(4)(t)+5x''(t)+4x(t)=37cos3t.

02

Finding roots

To find a general solution, one will first find a homogeneous solution for xt.

The auxiliary equation is:

r4+5r2+4=0, and its roots are:

r4+5r2+4=r2+1r2+4=0r2=-1,r2=-4r1,2=±i,r3,4=±2i

Therefore, the homogeneous solution for x is:

xh(t)=c1cost+c2sint+c3cos2t+c4sin2t

03

Finding derivatives

One will find a particular solution by using the method of undetermined coefficients and assume that a particular solution has a form of xp(t)=Acos3t+Bsin3t.

One needs the second and the fourth derivative ofxpt:

x'=-3Asin3t+3Bcos3t,x''=-9Acos3t-9Bsin3tx'''=27Asin3t-27Bcos3t,x(4)=81Acos3t+81Bsin3t

04

Substituting The values

Now, one has that,

xp(4)(t)+5xp''(t)+4xp(t)=81Acos3t+81Bsin3t+5(-9Acos3t-9Bsin3t)+4(Acos3t+Bsin3t)=40Acos3t+40Bsin3t=37cos3t⇒40A=37,40B=0⇔A=3740,B=0

So, the particular solution for x is xp(t)=37/40cos3t and the general solution for x is x(t)=xh+xp=c1cost+c2sint+c3cos2t+c4sin2t+3740cos3t.

05

Finding derivatives 

The first equation of the given system gives us that y(t)=x''(t)+3x(t)

So, one need to find the second derivative of x and substitute it into the previous equation.

x'(t)=-c1sint+c2cost-2c3sin2t+2c4cos2t-3×3740sin3t\hfillx''(t)=-c1cost-c2sint-4c3cos2t-4c4sin2t-9×3740cos3t

Substituting this into y(t)=x''(t)+3x(t)

One has,

y(t)=-c1cost-c2sint-4c3cos2t-4c4sin2t-9×3740cos3t+3c1cost+c2sint+c3cos2t+c4sin2t+3740cos3ty(t)=2c1cost+2c2sint-c3cos2t-c4sin2t-3×3720cos3t

06

Finding derivatives

Both masses are displaced 2m to the right of their equilibrium position, so x0=y0=2, and since they are released, one has thatx'(0)=y'(0)=0.

First, one will find the first derivative of y:

y'(t)=-2c2sint+2c2cost+2c3sin2t-2c4cos2t-9×3740sin3t

So, from this initial condition,one has that

x(0)=c1×1+c2×0+c3×1+c4×0+3740×1=c1+c3+3740=2y(0)=2c1×1+2c2×0-c3×1-c4×0-3×3720×1=2c1-c3-6×3740=2

07

Substituting the values

Adding the previous two equations together one will get

3c1-5×3740=4c1=238

Substituting this into the second equation one will havec2=2c1-6×3740-2⇔c3=-95

The third and the fourth initial condition give us

x'(0)=-c1×0+c2×1-2c3×0+2c4×1-3×3740×0=c2+2c4=0y'(0)=-2c1×0+2c2×1+2c3×0-2c4×1-9×3740×0=2c2-2c4=0

08

Finding c2,c4

Adding those equations together one gets that 3c2=0⇒c2=0

Substituting this into the first equation one has that 2c4=0⇒c4=0

Finally, one has that the displacement functions x and y is:

x(t)=238cost-95cos2t+3740cos3ty(t)=234cost+95cos2t-3×3740cos3t

In Problems 1 and 2, verify that the pair x(t), and y(t) is a solution to the given system. Sketch the trajectory of the given solution in the phase plane.

dxdt=3y3,dydt=y;x(t)=e3t,y(t)=et

The motion of a pair of identical pendulums coupled with a spring is modeled by the system

mx1''=-mglx1-kx1-x2,mx2''=-mglx2+kx1-x2

for small displacements (see Figure 5.36). Determine the two normal frequencies for the system.

Using the software, sketch the direction field in the phase-plane for the systemdxdt=y,dydt=-x-x3. From the sketch, conjecture whether all solutions of this system are bounded. Solve the related phase plane differential equation and confirm your conjecture.

Radioisotopes and Cancer Detection. A radioisotope commonly used in the detection of breast cancer is technetium-99m. This radionuclide is attached to a chemical that upon injection into a patient accumulates at cancer sites. The isotope’s radiation is then detected and the site is located, using gamma cameras or other tomographic devices.

Technetium-99m decays radioactively in accordance with the equation\(\frac{{{\bf{dy}}}}{{{\bf{dt}}}}{\bf{ = - ky}}\) with k= 0.1155>h. The short half-life of technetium-99m has the advantage that its radioactivity does not endanger the patient. A disadvantage is that the isotope must be manufactured in a cyclotron. Since hospitals are not equipped with cyclotrons, doses of technetium-99m have to be ordered in advance from medical suppliers.

Suppose a dosage of 5 millicuries (mCi) of technetium- 99m is to be administered to a patient. Estimate the delivery time from production at the manufacturer to arrival at the hospital treatment room to be 24 hours and calculate the amount of the radionuclide that the hospital must order, to be able to administer the proper

dosage.

Arms Race. A simplified mathematical model for an arms race between two countries whose expenditures for defense are expressed by the variables x(t) and y(t) is given by the linear system

dxdt=2y-x+a;    x0=1,dydt=4x-3y+b;   y0=4,

Where a and b are constants that measure the trust (or distrust) each country has for the other. Determine whether there is going to be disarmament (x and y approach 0 as t increases), a stabilized arms race (x and y approach a constant ast→+∞ ), or a runaway arms race (x and y approach+∞ as t→+∞).
