The vertical deflection of a certain beam is given by: v(x) = 0.42493×104x³ -0.13533×108x³ -0.66722×10x¹ -0.018507x where x is the position along the length of the beam. Hence to find the maximum deflection, we need to find where f(x) = derivative test. The equation for the maximum deflection as a function of x is given by: -0.67665x10x -0.26689x105x² +0.12748x10x² -0.018507 - 0 Use the Bisection 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. = 0 and conduct the second
