A non-dimensional model of a glider flying to minimise flight-time in the absence of lift and drag is COSY = u' u = - - sin y " U {' = u cosy, n' = usin y where is the flight-path angle, u is the non-dimensional velocity, § is the non-dimensional range, and ŉ is the non-dimensional altitude and ' (prime) denotes differentiation with respect to 7, the non-dimensional time. The glider travels from § = 0,ŋ = ho to § = L,n = h₁, where ho > h₁ > 0, and, at the start of the motion, the glider is pointing vertically downwards so that y = −π/2. Find differential equations for dε/dy and dn/dy. and the general solutions of the differential equations
