Problems in Unit-I and Unit-II
1. Express f ( x) x( x), 0 x as the Fourier sine series and cosine series.
0,
3. Find the Fourier series expansion of the function f ( x) sin {
x 0
x, 0 x
5. Find the first three harmonics in the Fourier series of y f (x) , which is
defined in the following table, in (0, 6) .
x 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
y 1.0 1.4 1.9 1.7 1.5 1.2 1.0
6. A rod of length 10 cm has its ends A and B kept at 20◦ C and 70◦ C
respectively, until steady state conditions prevail. If the temperature at each
end is then suddenly reduced to 0◦ C and maintained so, find the temperature
u ( x, t ) at a distance x from A at time t .
7. A bar, 15 cm long, with insulated sides, has its ends A and B kept at 10◦ C
and 35◦ C respectively, until the steady state conditions prevail. The
temperature at A is then suddenly raised to 45◦ C and at the same instant that
at B is lowered to 0◦ C. Find the subsequent temperature function u( x, t ) at
any time.
10. A tightly stretched string with fixed end points x 0 and x l is initially at
rest in its equilibrium position. If it is set vibrating giving each point a
velocity 3x(l x) , find the displacement function y( x, t ).
