There are two k's one is K dash and then other is k.

k is defined by reference to k dash and the square root of A

they have k' as a positive constant.

they then have -k'/sqrtA times sqrt(h)

so they say that k'/sqrtA is a positive constant k, leaving -k sqrt(h)

i.e. k and k' are two different constants.

They have mentioned that k=kA k=\dfrac{k'}{\sqrt{A}}

You are confusing k k with k k' , both are different constants.

Thanks but why is k' equivalent to (-k' . A^-1/2)


Sorry i understand now thanks

k=kA[br]kkA[br] k = \dfrac{k'}{\sqrt{A}}[br]k \not= -\dfrac{k'}{\sqrt{A}}[br]

Probably a typo from you.

No typo.

There is nothing wrong with what I have typed.

dhdt=kAhA=(kA)h= \frac {dh}{dt} = \frac{-k'\sqrt{Ah}}{A} = (\frac{-k'}{\sqrt{A}})\sqrt{h} = -kh\sqrt{h}

where where k=(kA) k = (\frac{k'}{\sqrt{A}})

I think thats what raheem94 was trying to point out :smile:

I know what he was trying to say. But what I wrote is correct because k is defined, in this case, to be negative.
