In Problems 1-6, a rod of length L coincides with the interval [0, L] on the x-axis. Set up the boundary-value problem for the temperature u(x, t). The left end is held at temperature zero, and the right end is insulated. The initial temperature is f(x) throughout.

Question
In Problems 7-10, a string of length L coincides with the interval [0, L] on the x-axis. Set up the boundary-value problem for the displacement u(x, t).
The ends are secured to the x-axis, and the string is initially at rest on that axis. An external vertical force proportional to the horizontal distance from the left end acts on the string for t>0.
Solution
The first step in solving 13.2 problem number 10 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In Problems 7-10, a string of length L coincides with the interval [0, L] on the x-axis. Set up the boundary-value problem for the displacement u(x, t).The ends are secured to the x-axis, and the string is initially at rest on that axis. An external vertical force proportional to the horizontal distance from the left end acts on the string for t>0.
From the textbook chapter Classical PDEs and Boundary-Value Problems you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
