Figure P7.41 shows a pinned-fixed beam subject to a uniform load. The equation for the resulting deflections is

FIGURE P7.41:

Develop a MATLAB script that uses fminbnd to (a) generate a labeled plot of deflection versus distance and (b) determine the location and magnitude of the maximum deflection. Employ an initial guesses of 0 and L and use optimset to display the iterations. Use the following parameter values in your computation (making sure that you use consistent units): L = 400 cm, E = 52,000 kN/cm², I = 32,000 cm⁴, and w = 4 kN/cm.
