Given information
1. The diver of mass stands at the end of a diving board with length and linear density
2. The board takes on the shape of a curve .
3. The differential equation of the curve is given as
where and are positive constants that depend on the material of the board and is the
acceleration due to gravity.
4. The diagram of the diver and the cantilever board.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
We have from the principle of antiderivatives
Please note arbitrary constants are in both equations above as
