with q2, i couldnt do the part in a red box, i was fine with the first part of (ii), just using the sine rule.

Thanks for any help

for question 2 just do implicit differentiation with respect to @ and substitute in udt/a for d@. I'll do the working if you want

for question 1, I'm assuming the @ in (1/2 @2) is the d@/dt one?
d(1/2 @'2)/d@' = @'
d(1/2 @2) = @' d@'

so L(1/2 @2)/d@
= L[d@/dt * d(d@/dt)]/d@

now ds = Ld@
so L[d@/dt * d(d@/dt)]/d@
= L[ds/Ldt * d(ds/dt)/L]/ds/L
= [ds/dt * d(ds/dt)]/ds
= d2s/dt2

for q1:
s = Lθ
ds/dt = L.dθ/dt (since θ is a variable (dependent on t) and L is a constant)
= Lω (NB: ω is theta dot)
So: d²s/dt² = L.dω/dt (ω is a variable which is dependent on t)
= L.(dω/dθ)(dθ/dt) by the chain rule (just "multiply and divide by dθ")
= L.ω.(dω/dθ)
Use the fact that ω = d(ω²/2)/dω (which is just differentiating ω²/2 with respect to ω, rather than another variable)
= L.[d(ω²/2)/dω][(dω/dθ)]
= L.d(ω²/2)/dθ (as the "dω cancels out")

Thankyou so much Trebla and Lolokay

To Lolokay, I tried using implicit diff last night but it got really messy, maybe i made a mistake- I will try again today.

if you haven't solved it yet

d/d@ a sin(@ - y) - (x + a)sin y = 0
= a(1 - dy/d@)cos(@ - y) - dy/d@(x+a)cos y = 0
a cos(@ - y) = dy/d@ [a cos(@ - y) + (x+a)cos y]
dy/d@ = a cos(@ - y)/[a cos(@ - y) + (x+a)cos y]

d@/dt = u/a
d@ = u dt/a

a dy/u dt = a cos(@ - y)/[a cos(@ - y) + (x+a)cos y]
dy/dt = u cos(@ - y)/[a cos(@ - y) + (x+a)cos y]

Thanks mate- I appreciate it

Need help with another part of this q i asked ages ago (only came back to it today). I'm not sure how to do (iv), tried subbing in pi/2 and 0 in d(phi)/dt, but no idea what to next.

Wheres Lolokay lol
that guy is busy studying for 5 unit. that guy is accelerated like light years early by himself. I have never seen anyone smarter than (or of similar intelligence to) donza.

you know that if x=a, then when @=0, y=0, and when @ = pi/2, sin[y] = 1/rt5 and cos[y] = 2/rt5 (just from looking at the right angle triangle NTO)

so subbing into the equation for dy/dt;
when @ = 0
dy/dt = ucos(0-0)/(2acos(0) + acos(0-0))
= u/3

when @ = pi/2
dy/dt = ucos(pi/2 - y)/(2acos[y] + acos[pi/2 - y])
= usin[y]/(2acos[y] + asin[y]
= u(1/rt5)/2a(2/rt5) + a(1/rt5)
= u/5
= 3/5 * u/3
= 3/5 dy/dt when @=0

id rather have common sense than be able to solve maths equations . The time you spent posting these comments could go into study ie for the HSC

solving questions on here is pretty efficient study imo. I'm not doing the HSC yet so can't exactly study for it anyway

wtf. seriously piss off. making a comment like that really suggests that you don't have a common sense at all.

the time he spend posting these comments help the other bosers and by doing those questions he improves his mathematical knowledge. you obviously haven't got a clue as to why people post questions up here.

fair call. but did you get 94 in your trial for 2unit mathematics

me? I got 119/120 in my 2008 cssa trial. I am not sure what you mean by 94...

Wow thats excellent . i meant to say 94% in 2unit mathematic in my NSW independent Trial Examination .
I hope you do well in the HSC

Thanks. I think the NSW Independent is harder than CSSA paper.

once again thanks so much for your help, you are insanely smart.
