Question:

Solve equation (4) subject to the appropriate boundary conditions. The beam is of length L, and w0 is a constant.

(a) The beam is simply supported at both ends, and w(x) = w0 x, 0 < x < L.

(b) Use a graphing utility to graph the deflection curve when w0 = 36EI and L = 1.

(c) Use a root-finding application of a CAS (or a graphic calculator) to approximate the point in the graph in part (b) at which the maximum deflection occurs. What is the maximum deflection?
