Part A
Determine the equations of the elastic curve for the beam using the x_(1) and x_(2) coordinates. EI is constant.
Express your answer as an expression in terms of the variables P,x_(1),x_(2),L, and EI and any necessary
constants.
Part B
Specify the beam's maximum deflection. EI is constant.
Express your answer as an expression in terms of the variables P,L, and EI and any necessary constants.
