Complete the verification that the equations of the Galerkin approach coincide with the equations derived from the Ritz approach.

Hint: First write the Galerkin method in elemental coordinates, x, and then determine if the elemental stiffness components are comparable and if the terms associated with the function f(x) are identical.
