In Problems 1 and 2, find the steady-state temperature \(u(r, \theta)\) in a circular plate of radius c if the temperature on the circumference is as given. \(u(c, \theta)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}u_{0}, & 0<\theta<\pi \\-u_{0}, & \pi<\theta<2 \pi\end{array}\right.\)

Question
If the boundary conditions for an annular plate defined by 1 < r < 2 are
\(u(1, \theta)=\sin ^{2} \theta\), \(\left. \frac{\partial u}{\partial r}\right|_{r=2}=0\), \(0<\theta<2 \pi\)
show that the steady-state temperature is
\(u(r, \theta)=\frac{1}{2}-\left(\frac{1}{34} r^{2}+\frac{8}{17} r^{-2}\right) \cos 2 \theta\)
[Hint: See Figure 14.1.4. Also, use the identity \(\sin ^{2} \theta=\frac{1}{2}(1-\cos 2 \theta)\).]
Solution
The first step in solving 14 problem number 9 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: If the boundary conditions for an annular plate defined by 1 < r < 2 are\(u(1, \theta)=\sin ^{2} \theta\), \(\left. \frac{\partial u}{\partial r}\right|_{r=2}=0\), \(0<\theta<2 \pi\)show that the steady-state temperature is \(u(r, \theta)=\frac{1}{2}-\left(\frac{1}{34} r^{2}+\frac{8}{17} r^{-2}\right) \cos 2 \theta\)[Hint: See Figure 14.1.4. Also, use the identity \(\sin ^{2} \theta=\frac{1}{2}(1-\cos 2 \theta)\).]
From the textbook chapter Boundary-Value Problems in Other Coordinate Systems you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
