2.1
The solution of Laplace’s equation is
T x, y An sin nx sinhn y 1

To verify that the coefficient An given in Example 2.1 is correct, we can first use the boundary
condition T x,0 T0 . Multiply this equation by sin n x , and integrate from 0 to 1:

For this problem, F r, r rb 0 , thus F i r and the boundary condition is
K
0 . Since V r cos K cos / r , we have u r cos V 2 . The

r r
quantity in parenthesis must vanish on the cylinder r rb so K rb2V and the required
velocity boundary condition is satisfied.

Classical separation of variable provides the general term X x T t . Substituting into the wave
equation ytt a 2 y xx yields the following set of differential equations:
X 2 X 0 T 2 a 2 T 0
The boundary and initial conditions are

In this case, only one term of the expansion is necessary to satisfy the specified initial
displacement. Applying the boundary conditions eliminates all but the first term in the series.
