Question:

The following equation can be used to model the deflection of a sailboat must subject to a wind force:

d2y/dz2 = ƒ/2El(L - z)2

where ƒ = wind force, E = modulus of elasticity, L = mast length, and l = moment of inertia. Calculate the deflection if y = 0 and dy/dz = 0 at z = 0. Use parameter values of ƒ = 60, L = 30, E = 1.25 x l08, and l = 0.05 for your computation.
