Question: A tapered bar with a circular cross - section is fixed at x = 0 and an axial force of 0 . 3 1 0

A tapered bar with a circular cross-section is fixed at x=0 and an axial force of 0.3106N is applied
at the other end, as shown in Figure 2. The length of the bar (L) is 0.3m, and the radius varies as
r(x)=0.03-0.07x, where r and x are in meters. Use E=1010Pa. Assume the displacement in the
form of u(x)=a0+a1x+a2x2. Use Rayleigh-Ritz Method to solve the problem.
A tapered bar with a circular cross - section is
