The rube goldberg device included in the lab is, an example of a closed system because all of the matter (such as the string, the ball and the books) stayed in the area. however the potential energy, that was stored in the ball on the high shelf and suspended weights as well as the stored mechanical energy of the sling shot, had left the system in the form of sound, motion and heat. now, take a look at the device you created and explain what type of energy system (open, closed or isolated) is represented by the lab device and why?

Find the steady-state temperature at the center of the plate = /2, = /2) for sums of w from n=1 to n=19 (only odd values). find the value of n for which the change in /2, /2) is less than 1% from the value at the previous n. at this point, we consider the solution converged. does the value of the temperature at the center seem reasonable? in this part, the values of x and y are constant scalar values. you should produce a plot of the value of n on the horizontal and the estimate of the temperature at the center of the plate on the vertical. b. using the value of n (or larger) that resulted in convergence in part (a), create a contourf plot of the temperature distribution across the entire plate. use enough spatial subdivisions to create a useful plot. comment on the results. hint: you need to determine what “x” and “y” values to use to make your t matrix. i recommend using a different number of x and y values. use enough x and y values so that the plot is “smooth”.
