Question: Use RK 4 - Kutta Method ( 1 0 points ) Example 9 . 9 . Solve d 2 y d x 2 = M

Use RK4-Kutta Method
(10 points)
Example 9.9. Solve
d2ydx2=MEI=30x-1.5x2EI
where EI=121,500kips-ft2.
The boundary conditions prescribed are
y(0)=0 and y(20)=0.
This differential equation represents the relationship between the bending moment M and the deflection y at a distance x along the span from the left hand end of a 20 foot long simply supported beam loaded with a uniformly distributed load of 3kipsft. as shown in Figure 9.17. The slope and deflection at any point x can be obtained by solving the above differential equation.
Fig. 9.17: A simply supported beam with a uniformly distributed load
Use Shooting method with step size (h)=0.5ft
