8.27. For the string in Exercise 8.25, let the linear density of the string be increased by a
factor of 4, keeping everything else the same. Evaluate the eigenvalues and the
corresponding eigenfunctions and the general solution for u(x, t) for a generalized
value of ω. What should the value of ω be in order to trigger resonance for the n = 1
mode of the system? For this value of ω, generate the animated solution for u(x, t), and
develop the animated sequence for 0 <t<5.
8.28. For the string in Exercise 8.25, let the length of the string be decreased by a factor of 3,
keeping everything else the same. Evaluate the eigenvalues and the corresponding
eigenfunctions and the general solution for u(x, t) for a generalized value of ω. What
should the value of ω be in order to trigger resonance for the n = 5 mode of the system?
For this value of ω, generate the animated solution for u(x, t), and develop the animated
sequence for 0 <t<5.
8.29. For the string in Exercise 8.25, let the tension in the string be increased by a factor of 4,
and let the length be increased by a factor of 2, keeping everything else the same.
Evaluate the eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions and the general solution
for u(x, t) for a generalized value of ω. What should the value of ω be in order to
trigger resonance for the n = 3 mode of the system? For this value of ω, generate the
animated solution for u(x, t), and develop the animated sequence for 0 <t<5.
8.30. For the string in Exercise 8.25, let the linear density of the string be decreased by a
factor of 4, and let the tension be decreased by a factor of 9, keeping everything else the
same. Evaluate the eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions and the general
solution for u(x, t) for a generalized value of ω. What should the value of ω be in order
to trigger resonance for the n = 5 mode of the system? For this value of ω, generate the
animated solution for u(x, t), and develop the animated sequence for 0 <t<5.
8.31. For the string in Exercise 8.25, let the tension in the string be increased by a factor of 4,
the density be increased by a factor of 9, and the length of the string be decreased by a
factor of 2, keeping everything else the same. Evaluate the eigenvalues and the
corresponding eigenfunctions and the general solution for u(x, t) for a generalized
value of ω. What should the value of ω be in order to trigger resonance for the n = 3
mode of the system? For this value of ω, generate the animated solution for u(x, t), and
develop the animated sequence for 0 <t<5.
