Question: A simply supported beam is loaded as shown. Considering symmetry, the reactions at supports A and B are R 1 = R 2 = w

A simply supported beam is loaded as shown. Considering
symmetry, the reactions at supports A and B are
R1=R2=wa2
Using the singularity method, determine the shear force
V along the length of the beam as a function of distance
x from the support A.

Using the singularity method, determine the bending M along the length of the beam as a function of
distance x, from the support A.(5 points)
Using the singularity method, determine the beam slope and deflection along the length of the beam
as a function of the distance x, from the support A. Assume the material modulus of elasticity, E and
the moment of inertia of the beam cross-section, I are given. (10 points)
