The solution for x(t)=25cost+45sint-25cos6t+65sin6t-sin2t and

y(t)=45cost+85sint+15cos6t-610sin6t-12sin2t.

Step by step solution

01

Using the elimination procedure

Given system can be written in the following form:

D2+5[x]-2[y]=0-2[x]+D2+2[y]=3sin2t

ByL1=D2+5,L2=-2,L3=-2,L4=D2+2,f1=0,f2=sin2t, using the elimination procedure,

One obtainsL1L4-L2L3[x]=L4f1-L2f2

i.e.

D2+5D2+2-4[x]=D2+2[0]-(-2)[3sin2t]D4+7D2+6[x]=0+6sin2tD2+1D2+6[x]=6sin2t⋯(1)

02

Finding derivatives

The auxiliary equation is r2+1r2+6=0and its roots r1,2=±i,r3,4=±i6.

Therefore, the solution to the corresponding homogeneous equation is

xh(t)=c1cost+c2sint+c3cos6t+c4sin6t.

Let's check if x(t)=-sin2t is a particular solution for (1).

First, one will find derivatives

x'(t)=-2cos2tx''(t)=4sin2tx'''(t)=8cos2tx(4)(t)=-16sin2t

03

Finding x

Since

x(4)(t)+7x''(t)+6x(t)=-16sin2t+7×4sin2t+6(-sin2t)=6sin2t

xp(t)=-sin2t is a particular solution to 1 and the general solution is

x(t)=xh(t)+xp(t)=c1cost+c2sint+c3cos6t+c4sin6t-sin2t.

From the first equation of the system,x''+5x-2y=0 one can find a general solution for yt but the first one needs to find x''

x'(t)=-c1sint+c2cost-6c3sin6t+6c4cos6t-2cos2tx''(t)=-c1cost-c2sint-6c3cos6t-6c4sin6t+4sin2t

04

Simplification

Then simplify,

2y=x''+5x=-c1cost-c2sint-6c3cos6t-6c4sin6t+4sin2t+5c1cost+5c2sint+5c3cos6t+5c4sin6t-5sin2t=4c1cost+4c2sint-c3cos6t-c4sin6t-sin2t

Therefore,y(t)=2c1cost+2c2sint-c32cos6t-c42sin6t-12sin2t

It remains to find constants from initial conditions.

05

Finding  xt,yt

Let's compute y'

y(t)=-2c1sint+2c2cost+c362sin6t-c462cos6t-cos2t

0=x(0)=c1+c30=x'(0)=c2+6c4-21=y(0)=2c1-c320=y'(0)=2c2-62c4-1

By solving this system, one obtains c1=25,c2=45,c3=-25,c4=65

Finally, x(t)=25cost+45sint-25cos6t+65sin6t-sin2t

And y(t)=45cost+85sint+15cos6t-610sin6t-12sin2t

A Problem of Current Interest. The motion of an ironbar attracted by the magnetic field produced by a parallel current wire and restrained by springs (see Figure 5.17) is governed by the equation\(\frac{{{{\bf{d}}^{\bf{2}}}{\bf{x}}}}{{{\bf{d}}{{\bf{t}}^{\bf{2}}}}}{\bf{ = - x + }}\frac{{\bf{1}}}{{{\bf{\lambda - x}}}}\) for \({\bf{ - }}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{o}}}{\bf{ < x < \lambda }}\)where the constants \({{\bf{x}}_{\bf{o}}}\) and \({\bf{\lambda }}\) are, respectively, the distances from the bar to the wall and to the wire when thebar is at equilibrium (rest) with the current off.

  1. Setting\({\bf{v = }}\frac{{{\bf{dx}}}}{{{\bf{dt}}}}\), convert the second-order equation to an equivalent first-order system.
  2. Solve the related phase plane differential equation for the system in part (a) and thereby show that its solutions are given by\({\bf{v = \pm }}\sqrt {{\bf{C - }}{{\bf{x}}^{\bf{2}}}{\bf{ - 2ln(\lambda - x)}}} \), where C is a constant.
  3. Show that if \({\bf{\lambda < 2}}\) there are no critical points in the xy-phase plane, whereas if \({\bf{\lambda > 2}}\) there are two critical points. For the latter case, determine these critical points.
  4. Physically, the case \({\bf{\lambda < 2}}\)corresponds to a current so high that the magnetic attraction completely overpowers the spring. To gain insight into this, use software to plot the phase plane diagrams for the system when \({\bf{\lambda = 1}}\) and when\({\bf{\lambda = 3}}\).
  5. From your phase plane diagrams in part (d), describe the possible motions of the bar when \({\bf{\lambda = 1}}\) and when\({\bf{\lambda = 3}}\), under various initial conditions.

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.

Referring to the coupled mass-spring system discussed in Example , suppose an external forceE(t)=37cos3t is applied to the second object of mass 1kg. The displacement functions xtand ytnow satisfy the system

(16)(2x''(t)+6x(t)-2y(t)=0,(17)(y''(t)+2y(t)-2x(t)=37cos3t

(a) Show that xtsatisfies the equation (18)x(4)(t)+5x''(t)+4x(t)=37cos3t

(b) Find a general solution xt to the equation (18). [Hint: Use undetermined coefficients with xp=Acos3t+Bsin3t.]

(c) Substitutext back into (16) to obtain a formula for yt.

(d) If both masses are displaced2mto the right of their equilibrium positions and then released, find the displacement functions xt and yt.

In Problems 3 – 18, use the elimination method to find a general solution for the given linear system, where differentiation is with respect to t.
