Chapter 7: Problem 2

In Problems \(5.1\) to \(5.8\), define each function by the formulas given but on the interval \((-l, l)\). [That is, replace \(\pm \pi\) by \(\pm l\) and \(\pm \pi / 2\) by \(\pm 1 / 2\).) Expand each function in a sine-cosine Fourier series and in a complex exponential Fourier series.

Short Answer

Expert verified
Replace limits, find coefficients using integrals, write series.

Step by step solution

01

- Understand the Interval

The exercise defines the interval as \((-l, l)\). This means we will replace the limits \( \pm \pi \) by \( \pm l \) and \( \pm \pi/2 \) by \( \pm 1/2 \). This establishes our domain for the Fourier series.
02

- Identify Fourier Series

A Fourier series expansion of a function can be represented in two forms: sine-cosine Fourier series and complex exponential Fourier series. The general formulas for these series are given by: \[f(x) = a_0 + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (a_n \cos \frac{n \pi x}{l} + b_n \sin \frac{n \pi x}{l}) \] for sine-cosine series and \[f(x) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} c_n e^{i \frac{n \pi x}{l}} \] for complex exponential series.
03

- Calculate Coefficients for Sine-Cosine Series

To find the coefficients \(a_0\), \(a_n\), and \(b_n\): \[a_0 = \frac{1}{l} \int_{-l}^{l} f(x) \, dx \] \[a_n = \frac{1}{l} \int_{-l}^{l} f(x) \cos \frac{n \pi x}{l} \, dx \] \[b_n = \frac{1}{l} \int_{-l}^{l} f(x) \sin \frac{n \pi x}{l} \, dx \] Perform these calculations for each function as defined in Problems 5.1 to 5.8.
04

- Calculate Coefficients for Complex Exponential Series

To find the coefficients \(c_n\): \[c_n = \frac{1}{2l} \int_{-l}^{l} f(x) e^{-i \frac{n \pi x}{l}} \, dx \] Perform this calculation for each function as defined in Problems 5.1 to 5.8.
05

- Write the Final Fourier Series

Using the computed coefficients for each function from Problems 5.1 to 5.8, write the final sine-cosine Fourier series and the complex exponential Fourier series in their respective forms.

Sine-Cosine Fourier Series
The sine-cosine Fourier series is a way of representing a function as a sum of sines and cosines. This method is particularly useful when dealing with periodic functions. The general form of the sine-cosine Fourier series is:

Each of the following functions is given over one period. Sketch several periods of the corresponding periodic function and expand it in an appropriate Fourier series. $$ f(x)=\left\\{\begin{array}{cl} x / 2, & 0

A general form of Parseval's theorem says that if two functions are expanded in Fourie? series $$ \begin{aligned} &f(x)=\frac{1}{2} a_{0}+\sum_{1}^{x} a_{n} \cos n x+\sum_{1}^{\infty} b_{n} \sin n x \\ &g(x)=\frac{1}{2} a_{0}^{\prime}+\sum_{1}^{\infty} a_{n}^{\prime} \cos n x+\sum_{i}^{\infty} b_{n}^{\prime} \sin n x \end{aligned} $$ then the average value of \(f(x) g(x)\) is \(\frac{1}{4} a_{0} a_{0}^{\prime}+\frac{1}{2} \sum_{1}^{\infty} a_{n} a_{n}^{\prime}+\frac{1}{2} \sum_{1}^{\infty} b_{n} b_{n}^{\prime}\). Prove this.

A simple pendulum is a small mass \(m\) suspended, as shown, by a (weightless) string. Show that for small oscillations (small \(\theta\) ), both \(\theta\) and \(x\) are sinusoidal functions of time, that is, the motion is simple harmonic. Hint: Write the differential equation \(\mathbf{F}=m \mathbf{a}\) for the particle \(m\). Use the approximation \(\sin \theta=\theta\) for small \(\theta\), and show that \(\theta=A \sin \omega t\) is a solution of your equation. What are \(A\) and \(\omega ?\)

Find the amplitude, period, frequency, wave velocity, and wavelength of the given wave, and sketch it as a function of \(x\) for each of the given values of \(t\), and as a function of \(t\) for each given \(x\). $$ y=3 \sin \pi\left(x-\frac{1}{2} t\right) ; \quad t=0,1,2 ; \quad x=0,1,2 $$

The displacement (from equilibrium) of a particle executing simple harmonic motion mas be either \(y=A \sin \omega t\) or \(y=A \sin (\omega t+\phi)\) depending on our choice of time origin. Show that the average of the kinetic energy of a particle of mass \(m\) (over a period of the motion) is the same for the two formulas (as it must be since both describe the same physical motion). Find the average value of the kinetic energy for the sin \((\omega t+\phi)\) casc in two ways: (a) By selecting the integration limits (as you may by Problem \(+1\) ) so that a change of variable reduces the integral to the \(\sin \omega t\) case. (b) By expanding \(\sin (\omega t+\phi\) ) by the trigonometric addition formulas and using \((5.2)\) to write the average values.
