Topic: Laplace Transform

Code: MATH 102

(1) The inverse Laplace transforms L1 (s2 ), and L1 (s5 ) does not exist, why ?
(2) Consider the function f (t) = t2 et :
(a) Is f (t) continuous on [0, ), discontinuous but piecewise continuous on [0, );
or neither ?
at
(b) Are there
Z fixed numbers a and M such that |f (t)| M e for 0 t < ?

(4) Show that

x00 (t) + 6x0 (t) + 5x(t) = F (t).

If we have F (t) = 0 and the initial conditions are x(0) = 3 and x0 (0) = 1
find the displacement at a time t > 0 using Laplace transform method.
(7) The differential equation of the LRC circuit is
q 00 (t) + 2q 0 (t) + 4q(t) = 50 cos t
with initial condition q 0 (0) = 0 and q(0) = 0. Calculate the charge at a time t > 0.
(8) Compute the Laplace transform of the rectified sine wave f (t) = | sin t|.
(9) A beam has its ends clamped at x = 0 and x = l [see Figure below]. A concentrated
load P0 acts vertically downward at the point x = 1/3. Find the resulting deflection.

(10) A particle of mass m moves along the X axis and is attracted toward origin O with a
force numerically equal to kx, k > 0. A damping force given by dX/dt, > 0, also
acts. Discuss the motion, treating all cases, assuming that X(0) = X0 , X 0 (0) = V0 .
