Question
Consider an elastic string of length L whose ends are held fixed. The
string is set in motion with no initial velocity from an initial position
u(x,0) = f(x). In each of Problems 1 through 4, carry out the
following steps. Let L = 10 and a = 1 in parts (b) through (d).
a. Find the displacement u(x, t) for the given initial position
f(x).
Gb. Plot u(x, t) versus x for 0≤x≤ 10 and for several values
oft between t = 0 and t = 20.
G c. Plot u(x, t) versus t for 0 ≤ ≤ 20 and for several values
of x.
Gd. Construct an animation of the solution in time for at least
one period.
e. Describe the motion of the string in a few sentences.

Consider an elastic string of length L whose ends are held fixed. The
string is set in motion from its equilibrium position with an initial
velocity u(x, 0) = g(x). In each of Problems 5 through 8, carry out
