A simply supported beam is subjected to a quadratic distributed load as shown below. w(x) = - (w0 / l^2) * (x^2 - l^2) (a) Determine the total resultant force, R = ∫ w(x)dx. (10 points) (b) Determine the x-location of the resultant R; in other words, determine the centroid of the area under the distributed load: (10 points) x_bar = ∫ x w(x)dx / R Total Points: 20
