Transcendental equation

Hi everyone!
I am working on an assignment involving heat transfer and I need to find the
firsts N roots of a transcendental equation. In particular this is the
equation:

x*(J1(x))/(J0(x))=Bi

where Bi is the Biot number (Bi=h*L/k, we can assume that is equal to 0.02)
and J0 and J1 are Bessel functions of the first kind (Jn(n, x)).
I know how to solve the Bessel equation (besselj(n, x)) but I do not have
any clue on how I can find the roots I need.
Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance!
