Step 1
Given differential equation,
drdt=(180t)i+(180t16t2)j
Initial condition,
r(0)=100j
Step 2
Differential equation can be written as
dr=[(180t)i+(180t16t2)j]d
On integrating both sides,
r(t)=[(180t)i+(180t16t2)j]dt=180×t22i+[180×t22i16×t33i]j+C
here is an integration constant.
r(t)=90t2i+[90t2163t3]j+C
Step 3
Apply the initial condition,
r(0)=100j
r(0)=90t2i+[90t2163t3]j+C
100j=90(0)i+[90(0)163(0)]j+C
C=100j
Therefore,
r(t)=90t2i+[90t2163t2]j+100j
r(t)=90t2i+[90t2163t2+100]j
Step 4
Hence, solution of initial value problem is
r(t)=90t2i+[90t2163t2+100]j
