Question

According to simple physiological model an athletic adult male needs 20 calories per day per pound of body weight to maintain his weight.if he consume a more or fewer calories than those required to maintain his weight changes at a rate proportional to difference between the number of calories consumed and the number of calories consumed and the number needed to maintain his current weight the constant of proportionality is 1/3500 pound per calorie .suppose that a particular person has a constant caloric intake of H .let W(t) be the person's weight in pounds at time t.(a) what is the differential equation has the solution W(t)?

(b)solve this differential equation if the person starts out weighing 155 pounds and consumes 2600 calories a day
