Homework Statement
A string of mass M and length L is attached to walls at either end, and is
under tension T. The string is held at rest in the following shape: y=B for L/2<x<3L/4
and y= 0 for the rest of the string. The string is released
at t =0.(a) Find y(x, t). You may express your answer as an infinite
series, so long as you have defined all the symbols in your series
Homework Equations
y(x)=Bsinkx
k=npi/L L =length of string n=mode no
Y(x,y)=[itex]\Sigma[/itex]Bsin(kx)cos(wt) (sm over all n)
The Attempt at a Solution
i don't understand how to incorporate the boundary conditions in given equation...i have been trying and all i come up with are two equations sin(3npix/2L) for 3l/4 and sin(kx) for L/2 ...Dont know how to go any further
