b. Determine the equations of the slope and the elastic curve using the coordinate x.
First, solve this problem parametrically, and then substitute the numerical
values for L, E, I, w at the end. There will be a significant penalty for solutions
that do not calculate the slope and deflection as parametric functions.
c. Specify the slope (in radians) at point A (parametrically and numerically).
d. Specify the vertical displacement at point B (parametrically and numerically).
