Question 383758: Hi, Stuck here with this particular problem, please can somebody help
The equation governing the buckling load P of a strut with one end fixed and the other end simply supported is given by tan (Mu)L = (Mu)L where (Mu) = Sqrt (P/EI), L the length of the strut and EI the flexural rigidity of the strut.
By writing x = (Mu)L, solve the equation tan x = x using three iterations of the Newton-Raphson method, taking
an initial approximation x0 = 4.5
