Figure P5.13a shows a uniform beam subject to a linearly increasing distributed load. The equation for the resulting elastic curve is (see Fig. P5.13b)

Use bisection to determine the point of maximum deflection (i.e., the value of x where dy/dx = 0). Then substitute this value into Eq. (P5.13) to determine the value of the maximum

deflection. Use the following parameter values in your computation: L = 600 cm, E = 50,000 kN/cm2, I = 30,000 cm4, and w0 = 2.5 kN/cm.
