QUESTION 5 a) Solve the following differential equation d2y 3 - + y = sin2x. dx2 y b) (9 marks) The Newton's Law of cooling states that the rate of cooling of a hot object is given by the differential equation = - kv( r - T s ;) . dt where Ts is the surrounding temperature, k is a constant and t is the time in minutes. If the object cools down from 100 C to 40C with the surrounding temperature at 25C in 15 minutes, find how long does the object need to cool down from 100 C to 30C at the same surrounding temperature. (9 marks) c) A sample of radon-222 decayed after 2 days by 42% from its original. Find the number of days for the sample radon-222 to decay by 60% from its original. (7 marks)
