QUESTION 2 (a) Derive an approximate displacement equation for the simply supported beam of length Hand section property El as shown in Figure Q2(a). Assume that the initial displacement equation is y(x) = Asin (Tx 7 H). Evaluate A by minimizing the integral and compare the deflection at the center with the theoretical value y=-5WH41384EI. The governing differential equation is as shown below. If Galerkin method was employed, what will be the value of A as compared to your earlier solution? Justify your reasons.
