Agreed. But this way the drawing is more clear. Is there a solution when h/d is: a) so low that sine shape stands? b) so large that it is not a sine any more?

Homework Statement A beam (e.g. a steel liner) of a length L is bent between two supports, as shown in fig (a). According to the Euler column, the shape is a half period of a sine. Now, a force P is applied at the axis of symmetry - fig (b). What is the shape of the liner? y=f(x) Instead of the...
