Question:

Consider a metal rod of length L fastened at both ends. If you cut the rod and weld on an additional segment of length m, leaving the ends fixed, the rod will bow up into a circular arc of radius R (unknown), as indicated in Figure 12.

R L h

Let L = 3 and m = 1. Apply Newton’s Method to Eq. (1) to estimate θ, and use this to estimate h.

Eq (1)

Xn+1 = Xn f(xn) f'(xn)
