Suppose the column in is tapered so that the moment of inertia of a cross-section I
Chapter 8, Problem 14(choose chapter or problem)
Suppose the column in is tapered so that the moment of inertia of a cross-section I varies linearly from I(O) = I0 = 0.002 to I(L) = h = 0.001. (a) Use the difference equation in part (a) of with n = 4 to set up a system of equations analogous to that given in part (b). (b) Proceed as in to find an approximation to the smallest critical load.
