For the beam and loading shown in the figure, integrate the load
distribution to determine the equation of the elastic curve for the
beam, and the maximum deflection for the beam. Assume that
EI is constant for the beam. Assume EI=25000 kN⋅m2, L=2.4
m, and w0=61 kN/m.
(a) Use your equation for the elastic curve to
determine the deflection at x=1.5 m. Enter a negative value if
the deflection is downward, or a positive value if it is
upward.
