Problem 1: Bisection Method [1 pt] Figure 1 shows a beam under a linear vertical load. The equation for describing the elastic curve under this load can be derived as (Figure 1(b)) y = Wo 120EIL -(-x+2Lx- L*x). Your job would be to locate the point with maximum deflection on the beam. That is, to find x such that dy/dx = 0. Use bisection method along with the following values in your calculation: L = 600 cm, E = 50,000 kN/cm, I = 30,000 cm, and wo = 2.5 kN/cm. Start with a = 200 cm and b = 300 cm, and carry out the first four iterations. |(x = 0, y = 0) L (a) (b) (x = L, y = 0) 6'11/1111 Wo x Problem 1: Bisection Method [1 pt] Figure 1 shows a beam under a linear vertical load.
