1. 2D Wave Equation:
Consider a flat 2D membrane with a density per unit area of ρ pulled taught with tension T per unit length. Let u(x,y,t) be the displacement of the membrane in the vertical direction at position (x,y) and time t. Now consider a small element A of the membrane:
(a) Derive the force balance equation
\ ρ dx = \T dS.
A ∂A
(b) Deduce the equation of motion (wave equation)
∂2u
∂t2
where c2 = T and ∆ = ∂2 + ∂2
2. Perform a dimensionality check on equation (1), making sure that that the dimensions of the parameters T, ρ and c are clearly specified.
