--- The deflection of a beam subjected to a uniform load, w, is given by wx y = (-1? + 2Lx2 – x3) 24ET Where L is the length of the beam, x is the distance along the length of the beam, E is the elastic modulus, and I is the moment of inertia. Taking L = 500 cm, I = 25000 cm", E = 40000 kN/cnr, and w= 1.5 kN, a. Compute the deflection along the length of the beam (from x = 0 to x = L), using an interval of 10 cm. b. Plot the beam deflection against x. Use a dashed line with the width set to 2, the line color to blue, and add appropriate labels. C. Compute the maximum beam deflection (use the min function, not the max function). At what value of x does the maximum deflection occur? W *x у L I
