Question $2$

PART A:

In this case, modify the Matlab function you built$-$in question one and enable it to work for

any deflection equation $($function$),$ any value of x and any value of the constants $($L$,$ E$,$ I, L

and W$0).$ Save this function using a different file name.

PART B:

Call your newly built deflection function and calculate the deflection, maximum deflection and

point of maximum deflection of the below uniformly distributed load

y$($x$)=-$W$0/48$EI$(2$x$^4-3$Lx$^3+$L$^3$x$)$

L $=300$ cm$,$ E $=52,000$ kN$/$ cm$^2,$ I $=32,000$ cm$^4,$ W$0=4$ KN$/$cm$,$ and x values range from $0$ to L with a step size of $10.$

Note that:

$$ Functions can be called either in a command window or by creating a new script file

$$ See lecture $8$ for reference on how to pass a function as an input $($anonymous function$)$
