Question 23

A magnetic flux contour line CCC within a specialized superconducting alloy is modeled by the equation

y2+60x−x2y=k,y>0 y^2 + 60x - x^2 y = k, \quad y > 0 y2+60x−x2y=k,y>0

where kkk is a constant and xxx and yyy represent spatial coordinates measured in micrometers.

a.

Find dydx\dfrac{dy}{dx}dxdy​ in terms of xxx and yyy.

[4]
b.

The point P(p,10)P(p, 10)P(p,10), where ppp is a constant, lies on CCC. Given that PPP is the minimum turning point on CCC,

find

(i) the value of ppp

(ii) the value of kkk
