Problem 1 (35 pts). An elastic string of constant line tension¹ T is pinned at x = 0 and x = L. A constant distributed vertical force per unit length p (with units N/m) is applied to the string. Under this force, the string deflects by an amount v(x) from its undeformed (horizontal) state, as shown in the figure below. p v(x) X Force equilibrium in the string requires that df -p=0, dx where f(x) is the internal vertical force in the string, which is given by dv f=T dx (1) (2) (a) [10pts] Write down the BVP (strong form) that the string deflection v(x) must satisfy. (b) [2pts] What order is the governing PDE in the BVP of (a)? (c) [3pts] Identify the type (essential/natural) of each boundary condition in (a). (d) [20pts] Find the analytical solution of the BVP in (a).
