Problem 1
A
Question: What is the general form of the solution for (x, y ) in the regions x < 0 and 0 < x < d? Solution: A cos(ay )eax (x, y ) = B cos(ay ) cosh (a (x d)) x<0 0<x<d

B
Question: What boundary conditions must be satised? Solution: Hy (x = 0+ ) Hy (x = 0 ) = Kz
Hx (x = 0 ) = 0 Hx (x = 0+ )
Hx (x = d) = 0

C
Question: Solve (x, y ) for x < 0 and 0 < x < d.
Hint: To minimize algebraic complexity, think about the best way to write the general form
of the solution for (x, y ) to automatically satisfy one of the boundary conditions for part (b).
Solution: Hy = = y Hx = = x aA sin(ay )eax aB sin(ay ) cosh(a(x d)) x<0 0<x<d
