A simply supported beam is loaded with a point load, as shown in the figure. The beam is a steel wide flange (W 12 X 35) in strong axis bending. Calculate the maximum deflection of the beam and the rotation at joint A if L = 10 ft, a = 7 ft, b  = 3 ft, and P =10 kips. Neglect the weight of the beam.
