For all integers $k \geqslant 2$, we denote: $$w_{k} = \frac{1}{2} \int_{k-1}^{k} \frac{(t-k+1)(k-t)}{t^{2}} dt$$ Using yet another integration by parts, show that: $$\left| w_{k} - \frac{1}{12} \int_{k-1}^{k} \frac{\mathrm{~d}t}{t^{2}} \right| \leqslant \frac{1}{6} \int_{k-1}^{k} \frac{dt}{t^{3}}$$
