Take the partial with respect to x of your expression, and then take the partial with respect to x of the result.

Here is your problem presented in a more usual form:
\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2} \left(\frac{2sinh(nx)}{\sqrt{sinh(2L)-2L}}\right)
 
Only the numerator has an x in it. Why use the quotient rule?
 
What is the derivative of A sinh(nx)?
