Solve Problem by using a computer program.

For the tapered beam shown in Figure, determine the maximum deflection using one, two, four, and eight elements. Calculate the moment of inertia at the mid length station for each element. Let in. Run cases where n = 1,3, and 7. Use a beam element. The analytical solution for deflection and slope at the free end for n ¼ 7 is given by Reference [7] as shown below:
