5. A certain person starts a rumour in a small town. The number of people who have
heard the rumour, R(t), is given by
dR
= KR(1300 − R),
dt
where K is a positive constant, and 1300 is the number of residents in that small town.
What is the meaning of K? Is this equation reasonable? [Hint: surely the rumour
will spread slowly both when hardly anyone has heard it yet, but also when nearly
everyone has already heard it!] By regarding this equation as a Bernoulli equation,
find R(t).

Self-Practice Exercises (not to be collected or discussed in tutorial class)

1. Solve the following differential equations:


(a) y 0 − (1 + 3x )y = x + 2, y(1) = e − 1, x > 0,
(b) 2xyy 0 + (x − 1)y 2 = x2 ex , x > 0.
3x−y−5
(c) y 0 = −x+3y+7
x2 +xy+y 2
(d) y 0 = x2
.
[Hint: For (c), let x = z + 1, y = w − 2. For (d), let y = xv.]
Ans. (a) y = −x + x3 ex , (b) y 2 = 21 xex + Cxe−x , (c) (x + y + 1)2 (y − x + 3) = C, (d) y =
x tan(ln |x| + c).
2. At time t = 0, a tank contains 400 grams of salt dissolved in 100 liters of water. Assume
that water containing 20 grams of salt per liter is entering the tank at a rate of 3 liters
per minute and that the will-mixed solution is draining from the tank at the rate of 4
liters per minute. Find the amount of salt in grams in the tank at time t = 50 minutes.
Give your answer correct to two decimal places.
Ans. 900.
3. If a cable is held up at two ends at the same height, then it will sag in the middle,
making a U-shaped curve called a catenary. This is the shape seen in electricity cables
suspended between poles. It can be shown using simple physics that if the shape is
given by a function y(x), then this function satisfies
Z r 2
dy µ x dy
= + 1 dt,
dx T 0 dt
where x = 0 at the lowest point of the catenary and y(0) = 0, where µ is the weight per
unit length of the cable, and where T is the horizontal component of its tension; this
horizontal component is a constant along the cable. Find a formula for the shape of
the cable. [Hint: Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and think of the resulting
equation as a first-order ODE.]
