How to derive the new wave equation

54 Views Asked by At

I have a question that: Considering the 1D wave equation $u_{tt} - u_{xx} = 0$ in the domain $0\leq x \leq s(t)$ where $s(t)$ be a given positive function. Changing the variable $y = \frac{x}{s(t)}$, and taking $w(y,t) = u(s(t)y,t) = u(x,t)$. What is the wave equation for $w(y,t)$ ? Anyone can help me to calculate ?
