A classical equation of mathematics is Laplace's equation, which arises in both theory and applications. It governs ideal fluid flow, electrostatic potentials, and the steadystate distribution of heat in a conducting medium. In two dimensions, Laplace's equation is $$\frac{\partial^{2} u}{\partial x^{2}}+\frac{\partial^{2} u}{\partial y^{2}}=0.$$ Show that the following functions are harmonic; that is, they satisfy Laplace's equation. $$u(x, y)=e^{a x} \cos a y, \text { for any real number } a$$
Find the points at which the plane \(a x+b y+c z=d\) intersects the \(x-y-\), and \(z\) -axes.
Identify and briefly describe the surfaces defined by the following equations. $$-y^{2}-9 z^{2}+x^{2} / 4=1$$
Flow in a cylinder Poiseuille's Law is a fundamental law of fluid dynamics that describes the flow velocity of a viscous incompressible fluid in a cylinder (it is used to model blood flow through veins and arteries). It says that in a cylinder of radius \(R\) and length \(L,\) the velocity of the fluid \(r \leq R\) units from the center-line of the cylinder is \(V=\frac{P}{4 L \nu}\left(R^{2}-r^{2}\right),\) where \(P\) is the difference in the pressure between the ends of the cylinder and \(\nu\) is the viscosity of the fluid (see figure). Assuming that \(P\) and \(\nu\) are constant, the velocity \(V\) along the center line of the cylinder \((r=0)\) is \(V=k R^{2} / L,\) where \(k\) is a constant that we will take to be \(k=1.\) a. Estimate the change in the centerline velocity \((r=0)\) if the radius of the flow cylinder increases from \(R=3 \mathrm{cm}\) to \(R=3.05 \mathrm{cm}\) and the length increases from \(L=50 \mathrm{cm}\) to \(L=50.5 \mathrm{cm}.\) b. Estimate the percent change in the centerline velocity if the radius of the flow cylinder \(R\) decreases by \(1 \%\) and the length \(L\) increases by \(2 \%.\) c. Complete the following sentence: If the radius of the cylinder increases by \(p \%,\) then the length of the cylinder must increase by approximately __________ \(\%\) in order for the velocity to remain constant.
The equation \(x^{2 n}+y^{2 n}+z^{2 n}=1,\) where \(n\) is a positive integer, describes a flattened sphere. Define the extreme points to be the points on the flattened sphere with a maximum distance from the origin. a. Find all the extreme points on the flattened sphere with \(n=2\) What is the distance between the extreme points and the origin? b. Find all the extreme points on the flattened sphere for integers \(n>2 .\) What is the distance between the extreme points and the origin? c. Give the location of the extreme points in the limit as \(n \rightarrow \infty\). What is the limiting distance between the extreme points and the origin as \(n \rightarrow \infty ?\)
