Explanation Given: The given initial value problem is, ∂ 2 u ∂ t 2 = 4 ∂ 2 u ∂ x 2 , 0 < x < π , t > 0 u ( 0 , t ) = u ( π , t ) = 0 , t > 0 u ( x , 0 ) = x 2 ( π − x ) , 0 < x < π ∂ u ∂ t ( x , 0 ) = 0 , 0 < x < π Approach: The motion of the string initial boundary value problem is given by, ∂ 2 u ∂ t 2 = α 2 ∂ 2 u ∂ x 2 , 0 < x < L , t > 0 u ( 0 , t ) = u ( L , t ) = 0 , t > 0 u ( x , 0 ) = f ( x ) , 0 < x < L ∂ u ∂ t ( x , 0 ) = g ( x ) , 0 < x < L The formal solution is determined by method of separation of variables. u ( x , t ) = ∑ n = 1 ∞ [ a n cos n π α L t + b n sin n π α L t ] sin n π x L … ( 1 ) Here, a n = 2 L ∫ 0 L f ( x ) sin n π L x d x ( 2 ) b n = ( L n π ) 2 L ∫ 0 L g ( x ) sin n π L x d x ( 3 ) f ( x ) = ∑ n = 1 ∞ a n sin n π x L g ( x ) = ∑ n = 1 ∞ b n ( n π α L ) sin n π x L Calculation: Consider the given initial value problem. ∂ 2 u ∂ t 2 = 4 ∂ 2 u ∂ x 2 , 0 < x < π , t > 0 u ( 0 , t ) = u ( π , t ) = 0 , t > 0 u ( x , 0 ) = x 2 ( π − x ) , 0 < x < π ∂ u ∂ t ( x , 0 ) = 0 , 0 < x < π Compare the above initial value problem with motion of the string initial boundary value problem. α = 2 L = π f ( x ) = x 2 ( π − x ) g ( x ) = 0 Substitute 2 for α and π for L in equation ( 1 ) . u ( x , t ) = ∑ n = 1 ∞ [ a n cos 2 n t + b n sin 2 n t ] sin n x Substitute π for L and sin 2 x for f ( x ) in equation ( 2 )

Temperature measurements are based on the transfer of heat between the sensor of a measuring device (such as an ordinary thermometer or the gasket of a thermocouple) and the medium whose temperature is to be measured. Once the sensor or thermometer is brought into contact with the medium, the sensor quickly receives (or loses, if warmer) heat and reaches thermal equilibrium with the medium. At that point the medium and the sensor are at the same temperature. The time required for thermal equilibrium to be established can vary from a fraction of a second to several minutes. Due to its small size and high conductivity it can be assumed that the sensor is at a uniform temperature at all times, and Newton's cooling law is applicable. Thermocouples are commonly used to measure the temperature of gas streams. The characteristics of the thermocouple junction and the gas stream are such that λ = hA/mc 0.02s-1. Initially, the thermocouple junction is at a temperature Ti and the gas stream at…

A body of mass m at the top of a 100 m high tower is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of 10 m/s. Assume that the air resistance FD acting on the body is proportional to the velocity V, so that FD=kV. Taking g = 9.75 m/s2 and k/m = 5 s, determine: a) what height the body will reach at the top of the tower, b) how long it will take the body to touch the ground, and c) the velocity of the body when it touches the ground.
