Textbook Solutions for Elementary Differential Equations

Chapter 2 Problem 2.8.17

Question

For the simply supported beam whose deflection curve is given by Eq. (24), show that the only root of y'(x) = in [0, L] is x = Lj2, so it follows (why?) that the maximum deflection is indeed that given in Eq. (25).

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 2 problem number 17 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: For the simply supported beam whose deflection curve is given by Eq. (24), show that the only root of y'(x) = in [0, L] is x = Lj2, so it follows (why?) that the maximum deflection is indeed that given in Eq. (25).
From the textbook chapter Linear Equations of Higher Order you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
