Q3 A thin rod of 3 cm length having a thermal diffusivity coefficient (a) of 0.835 cm²/s is initially kept at a temperature of 0 °C. The rod is insulated at all points except at its ends which are kept at all times at T(0) -5 °C and T(3) = 10 °C. Use the explicit method to solve for the temperature distribution in the rod at t= 0.2 second using the following information; Ax=1 cm, At = 0.1 second, and λ = a At/Ax².
