equation.

Def: A differential equation is said to be ordinary if the derivatives in it are
with respect to single independent variable.
Def: A differential equation is said to be partial if the derivatives in it are with
respect to more than one independent variable.
Ex (1), (2), (3) are ordinary and Ex(4) is partial.

3. Dr.G.V.Ramana Reddy
Def: The order of a differential equation is the order of the highest derivative
appearing in it.
Ex (1), (3) are of order 2 and Ex(2) is of order 1.
Def: The degree of a differential equation is the degree of the highest
ordered derivative occurs in it, after the equation has been made free from
fractions and radicals as far as the derivatives are concerned.

Ex(4): A radio active substance disintegrates at a rate proportional to its mass.
When mass is 10 mgm. the rate of disintegration is 0.051 mgm per day.
How long will it take for the mass to be reduced from 10 mgm to 5mgm?

at any time t. Then by law of decay,

Ex(8): In a chemical reaction a given substance
is being converted into another at a rate
proportional to the amount of substance
unconverted. If 1/5th of the original amount
has been transformed in 4 minutes, how much
time will be required to transform one half.

95. III. Newton’s law of cooling:
The rate of change of temperature of a body is proportional to the
difference between the temperature of the body and that of the
surrounding medium.
Let θ(t) be the temperature of the body at time t and θ0 be the
temperature of the surrounding medium. Then

atmosphere is 250C, find it’s temperature after 20 minutes. Also find
when the temperature will be 550C.

The temperature after 20 minutes is 570C.
The temperature will be 550C after 22.9

Ex(2): If the air temperature is 200C and the
body cools for 20 minutes from 1400C to 800C ,
find it’s temperature after 40 minutes. Also
find when the temperature will be 350C.
