Question

The rate of depreciation `(dV)/ dt` of a machine is inversely proportional to the square of t + 1, where V is the value of the machine t years after it was purchased. The initial value of the machine was ₹ 8,00,000 and its value decreased ₹1,00,000 in the first year. Find its value after 6 years.

Solution

According to the given condition,

`(dV)/dt ∝ 1/(t+1)^2`

∴ `(dV)/dt = (-k)/(t+1)^2` …[Negative sign indicates disintegration]

∴ `dV =  (-kdt)/(t+1)^2`

Integrating on both sides, we get

`int dV = - k int dt/(t+1)^2`

∴ `V = k/(t+1) + c`

when t = 0, V = 8,00,000

∴ `8,00,000 = k/((0+1)) +c`

∴ 8,00,000 = k + c …(i)

when t = 1, V = 7,00,000

∴ `7,00,000 = k /((1 +1)) + c`

∴ `7,00,000 = k/ 2 + c` …(ii)

From (i) – (ii), we get

`1,00,000 = k /2`

∴ k = 2,00,000  …(iii)

Substituting (iii) in (i), we get

c = 6,00,000  …(iv)

when t = 6, we get

`V = k/((6+ 1)) + c`

=`(2,00,000 )/7 + 6,00,000`

= 6,28,571.4286

≈6,28,571

∴ Value of the machine after 6 years is ₹ 6,28,571.

Find the population of city at any time t given that rate of increase of population is proportional to the population at that instant and that in a period of 40 years the population increased from 30000 to 40000.

Solution: Let p be the population at time t.

Then the rate of increase of p is `"dp"/"dt"` which is proportional to p.

∴ `"dp"/"dt" prop "p"`

∴ `"dp"/"dt"` = kp, where k is a constant.

∴ `"dp"/"p"` = k dt

On integrating, we get

`int "dp"/"p" = "k" int "dt"`

∴ log p = kt + c

Initially, i.e. when t = 0, let p = 30000

∴ log 30000 = k × 0 + c       

∴ c = `square`

∴ log p = kt + log 30000

∴ log p - log 30000 = kt

∴ `log("p"/30000)` = kt          .....(1)     

when t = 40, p = 40000

∴ `log (40000/30000) = 40"k"`

∴ k = `square`

∴ equation (1) becomes, `log ("p"/30000)` = `square`

∴ `log ("p"/30000) = "t"/40 log (4/3)`

∴ p = `square`
