1. The following differential equation is available for a physical phenomenon 2
−10 x =5 0 ≤ x ≤1
dx
The boundary conditions are y (0) = 0, y (1) = 0 by using galerkin’s method of weighted residual to find an (15)
Approximate solution of the above differential equation and also compare with exact solution.

2.A beam AB of span ‘l’ simply supported at ends and carrying a concentrated load ‘W’ at the Centre ‘C’ as
Shown in figure. Determine the deflection at midspan by using Rayleigh-Ritz method and compare with exact (15)
solutions.

3. Find the deflection at the centre of a simply supported beam of span length ’l’ subjected to a (10)
uniformly distributed load throughout its length as shown in fig. using (a) point collocation method
(b) subdomain method.
