Question 1

Accepted Answer

The given differential equation is a second-order linear homogeneous differential equation with constant coefficients. The characteristic equation of such a differential equation is $r^2 + n^4 = 0$, which has solutions $r = \pm in^2$. The general solution to the differential equation is therefore a combination of sine and cosine functions. Given the boundary conditions $y(0) = 0$ and $y(1) = 0$, the cosine term is eliminated because $y = c \cdot \cos(n \pi x)$ does not satisfy $y(0) = 0$ for any non-zero $c$. The sine function, $y = c \cdot \sin(n \pi x)$, satisfies both boundary conditions for $n = 1,2,3,\ldots$ because $\sin(n \pi) = 0$ for any integer $n$, including at $x = 0$ and $x = 1$.

Question 2

Question 3

The wave equation for a vibrating string is derived using the assumptions Select all that apply.&#10;A) the string is perfectly flexible.&#10;B) the displacements may be large.&#10;C) the tension acts perpendicular to the string.&#10;D) the tension is large compared with gravity.&#10;E) the string is homogeneous.

Accepted Answer

The wave equation for a vibrating string assumes that the string is perfectly flexible (A), meaning it can bend without resistance but cannot stretch, and that it is homogeneous (E), implying uniform density and tension throughout. The tension in the string must be large compared with the force of gravity (D) to ensure that the gravitational force does not significantly affect the vibration. Assumptions B and C are incorrect because the displacements are assumed to be small (not large) for linear approximation to hold, and the tension acts tangentially (along the string) rather than perpendicularly.

Question 4

The differential equation $\frac { \partial ^ { 2 } u } { \partial x ^ { 2 } } + \frac { \partial ^ { 2 } u } { \partial x \partial y } + \frac { \partial ^ { 2 } u } { \partial y ^ { 2 } } = u$ is Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

The correct solution involves squaring the term $( ( n - 1 / 2 ) \pi / L )$ to get the eigenvalue $\lambda$, and using the sine function for $X(x)$ with $n = 1,2,3, \ldots$, which corresponds to the boundary conditions typically found in problems involving a string fixed at both ends or similar physical systems.

Question 9

The differential equation $\frac { \partial ^ { 2 } u } { \partial x ^ { 2 } } + \frac { \partial ^ { 2 } u } { \partial x \partial y } + \frac { \partial ^ { 2 } u } { \partial y ^ { 2 } } = u$ is Select all that apply.

A) linear
B) nonlinear
C) hyperbolic
D) elliptic
E) parabolic

Accepted Answer

The given differential equation is linear because it involves linear operations on the function $u$ and its derivatives (no terms involve powers or products of $u$ or its derivatives). It is elliptic because the discriminant of the characteristic equation derived from the highest order partial derivatives, $B^2 - 4AC$, where $A = 1$, $B = 1$, and $C = 1$, is negative ($1^2 - 4(1)(1) = -3$).

Question 10

Consider the equation $u _ { xx } - u _ { t } = 0$ with conditions $u ( 0 , t ) = 0 , u _ { x } = ( L , t ) = 0 , u ( x , 0 ) = f ( x )$ . When separating variables with $u ( x , t ) = X ( x ) T ( t )$ , the resulting problems for $X , T$ are

A)

X ^ { \prime \prime } + \lambda X = 0 , X ( 0 ) = 0 , X ^ { \prime } ( L ) = 0 , T ^ { \prime } - \lambda T = 0 , T ( 0 ) = f ( x )

B)

X ^ { \prime \prime } + \lambda X = 0 , X ( 0 ) = 0 , X ^ { \prime } ( L ) = 0 , T ^ { \prime } + \lambda T = 0 , T ( 0 ) = f ( x )

C)

X ^ { \prime \prime } - \lambda X = 0 , X ( 0 ) = 0 , X ^ { \prime } ( L ) = 0 , T ^ { \prime } + \lambda T = 0

D)

X ^ { \prime \prime } + \lambda X = 0 , X ( 0 ) = 0 , X ^ { \prime } ( L ) = 0 , T ^ { \prime } - \lambda T = 0

E)

X ^ { \prime \prime } + \lambda X = 0 , X ( 0 ) = 0 , X ^ { \prime } ( L ) = 0 , T ^ { \prime } + \lambda T = 0

Accepted Answer

Substituting $u(x,t) = X(x)T(t)$ into the given PDE $u_{xx} - u_t = 0$ and dividing by $XT$ leads to $\frac{X''}{X} = \frac{T'}{T}$, implying both sides equal a constant $\lambda$. The boundary conditions for $X(x)$ are directly given as $X(0) = 0$ and $X'(L) = 0$. The condition $T'(0) = f(x)$ is not applicable since $T$ is a function of $t$ only, not $x$. Thus, the correct separation leads to $X'' + \lambda X = 0$ with the given boundary conditions for $X$, and $T' + \lambda T = 0$ for $T$, without an initial condition involving $f(x)$ directly in the separated equations.

Question 11

Consider the equation $u _ { xx } - u _ { t t } = 0$ with conditions $\frac { d u } { d x } ( 0 , t ) = 0 , \frac { d u } { d x } = ( L , t ) = 0 , u ( x , 0 ) = f ( x ) , \frac { d u } { d t } ( 0 ) = 0$ . When separating variables with $u ( x , t ) = X ( x ) T ( t )$ , the resulting problems for $X , T$ are

A)

X ^ { \prime \prime } + \lambda X = 0 , X ^ { \prime } ( 0 ) = 0 , X ^ { \prime } ( L ) = 0 , T ^ { \prime \prime } + \lambda T = 0 , T ( 0 ) = 0

B)

X ^ { \prime \prime } - \lambda X = 0 , X ^ { \prime } ( 0 ) = 0 , X ^ { \prime } ( L ) = 0 , T ^ { \prime \prime } + \lambda T = 0 , T ^ { \prime } ( 0 ) = 0

C)

X ^ { \prime \prime } + \lambda X = 0 , X ^ { \prime } ( 0 ) = 0 , X ^ { \prime } ( L ) = 0 , T ^ { \prime \prime } + \lambda T = 0 , T ^ { \prime } ( 0 ) = 0

D)
