The ideal column has a weight w (force/length) and is subjected to the axial load P
Chapter 17, Problem 17-41(choose chapter or problem)
The ideal column has a weight w (force/length) and is subjected to the axial load P. Determine the maximum moment in the column at midspan. EI is constant. Hint: Establish the differential equation for deflection, Eq. 17-1, with the origin at the midspan. The general solution is v = C1sin kx + C2 coskx + (w/(2P))x2 - (wL/(2P))x - (wEI/ P2 ) where k2 = Pf!.
