Answer to Problem 55E
The shape of deflection curve is shown below.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given equation is
The given figure(1) shows
Figure(1)
Calculation:
Calculate the equation.
(1) The equation
Length of beam is fixed L
(2)
Or
(3) This function is not symmetric
(4)
y-has no horizontal asymptote.
(5)
Or
(6) Substitute the value at
(7)
Or
(8) So we draw the graph of
Figure(1)
Therefore the shape of deflection curve is shown in figure(1).
