Consider the cantilevered W14 Times 30 beam shown in (Figure 1) E = 29(10^3)ksi, I = 291 in^4.
a. Determine the expression for the elastic curve using the coordinate x for 0 lessthanorequalto x lessthanorequalto 9 ft, where x is in feet.
b. Determine the maximum slope of the beam, measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis.
c. Determine the maximum deflection of the beam.
