Problem
(a) Express
x(2x−1)1
in partial fractions.
(2)
The height above ground, h metres, of a carriage on a fairground ride is modelled by the differential equation
dtdh=501h(2h−1)cos(10t)
where t seconds is the time after the start of the ride.
Given that, at the start of the ride, the carriage is 2.5 m above ground,
(b) solve the differential equation to show that, according to the model,
h=10−8eksin(10t)5
where k is a constant to be found.
(6)
(c) Hence find, according to the model, the time taken for the carriage to reach its maximum height above ground for the 3rd time.
Give your answer to the nearest second.

Write the partial fractions in the form
x(2x−1)1=xA+2x−1B.
Multiplying by x(2x−1) gives the identity
1=A(2x−1)+Bx.
Set x=0 to obtain 1=−A, so A=−1. Set x=1/2 to obtain 1=B/2, so B=2.
Therefore
x(2x−1)1=−x1+2x−12.

Separate the variables:
h(2h−1)dh=501cos(10t)dt.
Using the partial fractions from part (a), the integral on the left is
∫(−h1+2h−12)dh=−lnh+ln(2h−1).
The integral on the right is
501∫cos(10t)dt=51sin(10t).
Combining the logarithms and including an integration constant gives
ln(h2h−1)=51sin(10t)+C.
Exponentiating,
h2h−1=Aes,s=51sin(10t).
At t=0, s=0 and h=5/2. Here 2h−1=4, so
A=5/24=58.
Consequently
2h−1=58hes.
Multiply by 5 and collect the terms containing h:
10h−5=8hes,
h(10−8es)=5.
Substitute back for s to obtain the required form:
h=10−8e51sin(t/10)5.
Therefore
k=51.

承接 (b) 的显式高度公式,先判断何时高度最大,再用正弦的周期列出各次最高点时间。第三次对应 n=2。
答题过程
展开
By part (b),
h=10−8e51sin(t/10)5.
To maximise h, minimise the denominator. The exponential term is largest when
sin(10t)=1.
For t≥0, the solutions are
10t=2π+2nπ,n=0,1,2,…
The third maximum corresponds to n=2, so
10t=29π.
Hence
t=45π=141.37…
and the required time, to the nearest second, is
141 seconds.
