1) A population of herd of sheep, P in thousands, in time t years is thought to be governed

by the differential equation
.
It is assumed that since is large it can be modeled as a continuous variable and its initial
value is 16
a) Solve the differential equation
b) Find the maximum and minimum population the herd of sheep
2) A thank contains a salt of water solution consisting initially of 40kg of sugar dissolved in
10 liter of water. Fresh water is being poured into the tank at a rate of 4 liter/min and the
solution (kept uniform by stirring) is flowing out at 2 liter/min. Find the amount of sugar
in the tank after 5 minutes and also draw the plot of the amount of sugar in the tank
as time moves on. (hint: )
3) The figure below shows an electromotive force (supplied by a battery or generator), a
resistor , an inductor , and a capacitor , in series. If the charge on the capacitor at time
is , then the current is the rate of change of with respect to .i.e. .
Kirchhoff’s voltage low says that the sum of voltage drops is equal to the supplied
voltage

Find the charge and current at time in the circuit is Farad,

henry, and volt and take the initial charge and current to be
zero.

4) a)Re-write the second order differential equation

(*)

As a system of first order, linear differential equations

b) Solve the system of first order differential equations found from a)
5) a) Evaluate
b) Find the current , by using Laplace transform methods, if
, where
