Steady periodic solutions

The long-run response left after transients die: a string under uniform periodic forcing, and ground temperature lagging the seasons with depth.

Exercise 101

Take the forced vibrating string. Suppose that L=1L=1, a=1a=1. Suppose that the forcing function is a triangle wave, ∣t∣−π2\lvert t \rvert -\frac{\pi}{2} on −π<t<π-\pi < t < \pi extended periodically. Find the particular solution.

Exercise 102

The units are cgs (centimeters-grams-seconds). For k=0.01k=0.01, ω=1.991×10−7\omega = 1.991 \times {10}^{-7}, A0=25A_0 = 25. Find the depth at which the summer is again the hottest point.
