Get started for freeDetermine whether the method of separation of variables can be used to replace the given partial differential equation by a pair of ordinary differential equations. If so, find the equations. $$ u_{x x}+u_{x t}+u_{t}=0 $$
Consider a rod of length 30 for which \(\alpha^{2}=1 .\) Suppose the initial temperature distribution is given by \(u(x, 0)=x(60-x) / 30\) and that the boundary conditions are \(u(0, t)=30\) and \(u(30, t)=0\) (a) Find the temperature in the rod as a function of position and time. (b) Plot \(u\) versus \(x\) for several values of \(t\). Also plot \(u\) versus \(t\) for several values of \(x\). (c) Plot \(u\) versus \(t\) for \(x=12\). Observe that \(u\) initially decreases, then increases for a while, and finally decreases to approach its steady-state value. Explain physically why this behavior occurs at this point.
If an elastic string is free at one end, the boundary condition to be satisfied there is that \(u_{x}=0 .\) Find the displactement \(u(x, t)\) in an elastic string of length \(L\), fixed at \(x=0\) and freeat \(x=L,\) set th motion with no initial velocity from the initiol position \(u(x, 0)=f(x)\) Where \(f\) is a given function. withno intitial velocity from the initiolposition \(u(x, 0)=f(x),\) Hint: Show that insiamental solutions for this problem, satisfying all conditions except the nonomongent condition, are $$ u_{n}(x, t)=\sin \lambda_{n} x \cos \lambda_{n} a t $$ where \(\lambda_{n}=(2 n-1) \pi / 2 L, n=1,2, \ldots\) Compare this problem with Problem 15 of Section \(10.6 ;\) pay particular attention to the extension of the initial data out of the original interval \([0, L] .\)
In each of Problems 19 through 24 : (a) Sketch the graph of the given function for three periods. (b) Find the Fourier series for the given function. (c) Plot \(s_{m}(x)\) versus \(x\) for \(m=5,10\), and 20 . (d) Describe how the Fourier series seems to be converging. $$ f(x)=x^{2} / 2, \quad-2 \leq x \leq 2 ; \quad f(x+4)=f(x) $$
