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) = 100 degrees Celsius. The ends of the bar (x = 0 andx = 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 u (2, 0.1)- Put u (2, 0.1) calculated accurately to the nearest thousandth (3 decimal places) in the answer box.

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) = 100 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 u(2, 0.1) calculated accurately to the nearest thousandth (3 decimal places) in the answer box.
