Boundary Condition for deflection of Beam

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on selecting appropriate boundary conditions for analyzing beam deflection using the equations EIdy/dx = Ax + wx²/2 and EIy = Ax²/2 + wx³/6. The specified boundary conditions include points at [x=0, y=0], [x=l, y=0], [x=0, dy/dx=0], and [x=L, dy/dx=0]. Understanding these conditions is crucial for accurately solving beam deflection problems in structural engineering.

I have a problem how to select the boundary condition when i answer this deflection of beam.
for example: the boundary condition is [x=o,y=0],[x=l,y=0],[x=o,dy/dx=o] and [x=L,dy/dx=0]
given that
EIdy/dx= Ax+wx^2/2
EIy= Ax^2/2+wx^3/6

anybody can tell me how to select this?
