Question # 3 Consider a thin circular rod of length 3 m aligned with the x-axis. The initial temperature throughout the rod is defined by the function f (x) = 2x+1. Both ends of the rod are insulated for all time t > 0. The rod satisfies all the assumption necessary for the homogeneous one-dimensional heat equation. (a) Setup the boundary-value problem for the temperature u(x,t). (b) Solve this boundary-value problem for u(x,t). Question # 4 Consider a string whose both ends are fixed on the x-axis at x = 0, and x = 2 m. A t = 0, the string was moving with a velocity of 1 m/s and at that time, the displacement of the string was given by a function sin x . 2 (a) Setup a boundary value problem for the displacement u (x,t). (b) Solve this boundary value problem for u (x,t).
