Consider a semi-infinite elastic string that extends along the x-axis from x = 0 to infinity and let u(x, t) be its deflection about the equilibrium position. Suppose that the endpoint at x = 0 is free to move vertically, so that axu (0, t) = 0. At some time, denoted as t = 0, the string is suddenly hit such that the initial deflection and velocity can be idealised as u(x,0) = 0, du(x,0) = g(x) = 508(x - 20), respectively. Determine u(x, t) for t> 0 using a suitable type of Fourier transformation. Leave your final answer in terms of the signum function (see below).
