A thin bar of length L = 3 meters is situated along the x axis so that one end is at x = 0 and the other end is at x = 3. The thermal diffusivity of the bar is k = 0.4. The bar's initial temperature f(x) = 50 degrees Celsius. The ends of the bar (x = 0 and x = 3) are then put in an icy bath and kept at a constant o degrees C. Let u(x, t) be the temperature in the bar at x at time t, with t measured in seconds. Find u(x, t) and then u (2, 0.1). Put ug (2, 0.1) calculated accurately to the nearest thousandth (3 decimal places) in the answer box.

Question
A thin bar of length L = 3 meters is situated along the x axis so that one end is at x = 0 and the other end is at x = 3. The thermal diffusivity of the
bar is k = 0.4. The bar's initial temperature f(x) = 50 degrees Celsius. The ends of the bar (x = 0 and x = 3) are then put in an icy bath and kept at a
constant 0 degrees C. Let u(x, t) be the temperature in the bar at x at time t, with t measured in seconds. Find u(x, t) and then u4 (2, 0.1).
Put u4(2, 0.1) calculated accurately to the nearest thousandth (3 decimal places) in the answer box.
