A plate in the shape of a quarter circle has boundary temperatures as shown. Find the interior steady-state temperature u(r,θ). (See Problem 5.12.)

Q18P

Page 651

Separate the time-independent Schrödinger equation (3.22) in spherical coordinates assuming that V=V(r)is independent of θand ϕ. (If V depends only on r , then we are dealing with central forces, for example, electrostatic or gravitational forces.) Hints: You may find it helpful to replace the mass m in the Schrödinger equation by M when you are working in spherical coordinates to avoid confusion with the letter m in the spherical harmonics (7.10). Follow the separation of (7.1) but with the extra term [V(r)−E]Ψ. Show that the θ,ϕsolutions are spherical harmonics as in (7.10) and Problem 16. Show that the r equation with k=l(l+1)is [compare (7.6)].

Find the steady-state temperature distribution in a rectangular plate covering the area 0<x<1, 0<y<2, if T=0for x=0, x=1, y=2, and T=1−xfory=0.

Question:Find the characteristic frequencies for sound vibration in a rectangular box (say a room) of sides a, b, c. Hint: Separate the wave equation in three dimensions in rectangular coordinates. This problem is like Problem 3 but for three dimensions instead of two. Discuss degeneracy (see Problem 3).

Q5P

A long wire occupying the x-axis is initially at rest. The end x = 0 is oscillated up and down so that y(0,t)=2sin3t, â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰t>0. Find the displacement y(x,t). The initial and boundary conditions are y(0,t)=2sin(3t), y(x,0)=0, ∂y∂t|t=0=0. Take Laplace transforms of these conditions and of the wave equation with respect to t as in Example 1. Solve the resulting differential equation to get Y(x,p)=6e−(p/v)xp2+9. Use L3 and L28 to find
