1. Use the method of separation of variables to solve ∂ x ∂t where
u( x ,0 )=6 e−3 x . [ Ans :u=6 e−( 3 x +2t ) (2004 , 06 ) ]
2. A string is stretched and fastened to two points l apart. Motion is started by displacing

the string into the form y=k(lx−x ) from which it is released at time t=0 . Find the
displacement of any point on the string at a distance x from one end at time t .
