Using Rayleigh Ritz method obtain estimates of 2 frequencies of a uniform flexible beam supported at each end by a spring of stiffness k as shown in Figure P13.3. Use the following shape function
\begin{aligned}\psi_{1}(x) &=1 \\\psi_{2}(x) &=\sin \frac{\pi x}{L}\end{aligned}
Plot the mode shapes corresponding to the calculated frequencies. Note that both modes are symmetric.
