Problem 2: Hanging cable A cable of uniform mass per unit length p(x)-ρ constant, hangs freely from the ceiling as shown in the figure. Assume that the cable possesses no flexural stiffness. Derive the equation of motion for small horizontal vibrations y(x, t) of the cable as well as the associated boundary conditions.

Discretization, ODE solving, condition number. Consider the differential equation 5y"(x) - 2y'(x) +10y(x)0 on the interval x E [0,10] with boundary conditions y(0)2 and y (10) 3 we set up a finite difference scheme as follows. Divide [0,10] into N-10 sub-intervals, i.e. {xo, X1, [0,1,. 10. Denote xi Xo + ih (here, h- 1) and yi E y(x). Approximate the derivatives as follows X10- 2h we have the following equations representing the ODE at each point Xi ,i = 1,...
Question. 4 (20%) A uniformly loaded beam of length "L" is supported at both ends. The deflection y(x) is a function of horizontal position x and is given by the differential equation on dEl d1 Beat dE 4() Assume q(x) is constant. Determine the equation for y(x) in terms of different variables. Hint: Use laplace transform. Below are boundary conditions: (L)ono dene y"(o) o no deflection at x= 0 and L no bending moment at x 0 and L y...
