Question:

The deflection of a uniform beem subject to a linearly increasing distributed load can be computed as

y = w0/120EIL (– x5 + 2L2 x3 – L4x)

Given that L = 600 cm, E = 50,000 kN/cm2, I = 30,000 cm4, and w0 = 2.5 kN/cm, determine the point of maximum deflection

(a) Graphically,

(b) Using the golden-section search until the approximate error falls below εs = 1% with initial guesses of x1 = 0 and xu = L.
