Write a detail note on applications of Differential Equation
E.g.
Let P(t) be a quantity increasing with time, t and the rate of increase is proportional to P
I.e.
Solution to this differential equation is given by
Let M(t) be the amount of a product decreasing with time, t and decreasing rate is proportional to M
I.e.
Where, is the first derivative of M
Solving this we get,
M(t) = A e- k t
3. Falling Object
An object is dropped from a height at time t = 0. If h(t) is the height of the object at time t, a(t) the acceleration and v(t) the velocity. The relationships between a, v and h are as follows
It is a model that describes, mathematically, the change in temperature of an object in a given environment. The law states that the rate of change (in time) of the temperature is proportional to the difference between the temperature T of the object and the temperature Te of the environment surrounding the object.
Let x= T - Te hence,
Using this, the above formula becomes
Hence we have,
The solution to the above differential equation is given by
x = A e - k t
substitute x by T - Te
T - Te = A e - k t
Assume that at t = 0 the temperature T = To
To - Te = A e 0
which gives A = To - Te
The final expression for T(t) i given by
T(t) = Te + (To - Te)e - k t
This last expression shows how the temperature T of the object changes with time.
Consider an RL circuit
At t = 0 the switch is closed and current passes through the circuit. Electricity laws state that the voltage across a resistor of resistance R is equal to R i and the voltage across an inductor L is given by (I is current).
