The vertical deflection of a certain beam is given by: v(x) = 0.42493×10x³ -0.13533×108x³ -0.66722×106x4 -0.018507x where x is the position along the length of the beam. Hence to find the maximum deflection, we need to find where ƒ (x) = 0 and conduct the second derivative test. dv dx The equation for the maximum deflection as a function of x is given by: -0.67665×10-x*-0.26689×10x³ +0.12748×10³ x² -0.018507 = 0 Use the False Position method of finding roots of equations to find the position x where the deflection is maximum. There is at least one root between 0 and 29. -6 Use 6 decimal places and an error of 1x107 STRICTLY FOLLOW THE DECIMAL PLACES REQUIRED IN THIS PROBLEM. Upload MANUAL solution at the end of the exam.
