1. The temperature distribution in a bar length π which is perfectly insulated at ends is given
u 2 u
by assuming that the initial temperature distribution as ux, t sin 2 x find the
t x 2
temperature distribution at any time.

3. An infinitely long plane uniform plate is bounded by two parallel edges and an end at
right angles to them. The breadth is π; this end is maintained at temperature u0 at all
points and other edges are zero temperature. Determine the temperature at any point of
the plate in the steady state.
