Problem 08 | Separation of Variables

Problem 08
$xy^2 \, dx + e^x \, dy = 0$,   when   $x \to \infty$,   $y \to \frac{1}{2}$.
 

Solution 08
$xy^2 \, dx + e^x \, dy = 0$

$\dfrac{xy^2 \, dx}{y^2 e^x} + \dfrac{e^x \, dy}{y^2 e^x} = 0$

$\dfrac{x \, dx}{e^x} + \dfrac{dy}{y^2} = 0$

$\displaystyle \int xe^{-x} \, dx + \int y^{-2} \, dy = 0$
 

For   $\displaystyle \int xe^{-x} \, dx$
Let
$u = x$,   $du = dx$

$dv = \int e^{-x} \, dx$,   $v = -e^{-x}$
 

Problem 339 | Equilibrium of Parallel Force System

Problem 339
The differential chain hoist shown in Fig. P-339 consists of two concentric pulleys rigidly fastened together. The pulleys form two sprockets for an endless chain looped over them in two loops. In one loop is mounted a movable pulley supporting a load W. Neglecting friction, determine the maximum load W that can just be raised by a pull P supplied as shown.
