SOLUTION The function! can be written asf(t) = 3 cos toU(t- 7T) and so by linearity, the
results of Example 8, and the usual partial fractions, we have

D Beams In Section 3.9 we saw that the static deflectiony(x) of a uniform beam of length L
carrying load w(x) per unit length is found from the linear fourth-order differential equation
d4y
EI dx4 = w(x), (19)
where Eis Young's modulus of elasticity and I is a moment of inertia of a cross section of the beam.
The Laplace transform is particularly useful when w(x) is piecewise defined, but in order to use the
transform, we must tacitly assume that y(x) and w(x) are defined on (0, oo) rather than on (0, L).
Note, too, that the next example is a boundary-value problem rather than an initial-value problem.

w(x) =
{( w 1- x ,

) 0 < x ::5 U2
x 0, U2 < x < L,
where w0 is a constant.
SOLUTION Recall that, since the beam is embedded at both ends, the boundary conditions
FIGURE 4.3.8 Embedded beam with a are y(O) 0, y'(O)

= 0. Now by (10) we can express w(x) in terms of
