the string at a distance x from one end at any time t.

Q11. A uniform rod of length l whose surface is thermally insulated is initially at a constant temperature
θ = θ0 . At time t = 0, one end is suddenly cooled to zero temperature while the other end remains
thermally insulated. This state is maintained subsequently. Find the temperature at the end x = l.

Q12. An insulated rod of length l has its end A and B kept at a degree centigrade and b degree centigrade
until steady state conditions prevail. The temperature at each end in suddenly reduced to zero degree
centigrade and kept so. Find the resulting temperature at any point of the rod taking the end A as
origin.
