TUTORIAL 1: PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS 1. Solve the following equations a) ∂2u∂x2=24x2(t-2), given that at x=0, u=e2tand ∂u∂x=4t. b) ∂2u∂x∂y=4eycos2x, given that at y=0, ∂u∂x=cosx and at x=π, u=y2.
2. A perfectly elastic string is stretched between two points 10 cm apart. Its centre point is displaced 2 cm from its position of rest at right angles to the original direction of the string and then released with zero velocity. Applying the equation
∂2u∂x2=1c2∙∂2u∂t2
with c2=1, determine the subsequent motion ux,t.
3. One end A of an insulated metal bar AB of length 2 m is kept at 0°C while the other end B is maintained at 50°C until a steady state of temperature along the bar is achieved. At t=0, the end B is suddenly reduced to 0°C and kept at that temperature. Using the heat conduction equation ∂2u∂x2=1c2∙∂u∂t , determine an expression for the temperature at any point in the bar distance x from A at any time t.
4. A square plate is bounded by the lines x=0, y=0, x=2, y=2. Apply the Laplace equation
∂2u∂x2+∂2u∂y2=0
to determine the potential distribution ux,y over the plate, subject to the following boundary conditions.
5. Show that the equation
∂2u∂x2-1c2∙∂2u∂t2=0
is satisfied by u=fx+ct+F(x-ct) where f and F are arbitrary functions.
6. If ∂2u∂x2=1c2∙∂2u∂t2 and c=3, determine the solution u=f(x,t) subject to the boundary conditions u0,t=0 and u2,t=0 for t≥0 ux,0=x(2-x) and ∂u∂tt=0=0 for 0≤x≤2.
7. The centre point of a perfectly elastic string stretched between two points A and B, 4 m apart , is deflected a distance 0.01 m from its position of rest perpendicular to AB and released initially with zero velocity. Apply the wave equation ∂2u∂x2=1c2∙∂2u∂t2 where c=10 to
