Problem ODE from mechanics equation

In summary, the particles are moving in an orbit under a force defined by F = rK, where r is equal to 1/u and u is equal to 1/r. The problem can be solved by defining a variable v = u^4 and u = v^(1/2), but the division of variable v out of variable u is not possible. The goal is to find the radius, r, of the orbit. The question is unclear without more context and information about the variables and force direction. It is recommended that the entire question be stated with accurate equations provided.

The particles are moving under force F = rK
when r = 1/u and u = 1/r

I tried to solve the problem by defining a variable v = u4 and u = v1/2

But I can not divide variable v out of variable u

I want to find r (Radius) of orbit

I cannot make sense of the question. What do r, K and u represent? Which way does the force act?
Please state the entire question exactly as given to you. If it is a translation, try to be as complete and accurate as you can.

The ability to post images is really for diagrams and textbook extracts. Please take the trouble to type in your equations. The first image you posted was unreadabe.
 

Related to Problem ODE from mechanics equation

1. What is an ODE (ordinary differential equation) in mechanics?

An ODE is a type of mathematical equation that describes the relationship between variables in a system, where the variables are functions of a single independent variable. In mechanics, ODEs are commonly used to model the motion of objects and the forces acting on them.

2. How do you solve a problem ODE from mechanics equation?

Solving a problem ODE from mechanics equation involves using mathematical techniques such as separation of variables, substitution, and integrating factors. The specific method used depends on the type of ODE and the given initial conditions.

3. What are the applications of problem ODEs in mechanics?

ODEs are widely used in mechanics to model a variety of physical systems, including projectile motion, pendulum motion, and simple harmonic motion. They are also used in engineering to design systems such as bridges and airplanes.

4. What are the limitations of using ODEs in mechanics?

ODEs are based on simplifying assumptions and may not accurately represent complex systems. They also require initial conditions to be known, which may not always be available. Additionally, some ODEs may not have analytical solutions, requiring numerical methods to be used.

5. How can ODEs be used to predict the future behavior of a mechanical system?

ODEs can be solved to obtain a general solution, which can then be used to predict the future behavior of a mechanical system. By specifying initial conditions, the general solution can be used to calculate the values of the variables at specific points in time.
