Question 1 (20 marks) A cantilever is subjected to a point moment of 20 kNm at the tip and a uniformly distributed load of 5 kN/m over the length BC, as shown in Figure Q1. The beam has a constant flexural rigidity EI throughout. Mo=20 kNm w=5 kN/m A B C 5 m * 5 m Figure Q1 Based on the information provided, do the following: (a) Calculate all reactions of the structure. (4 marks) (b) Draw the shear force diagram. Provide the key numerical values on the diagram, supported by your calculations. (6 marks) (c) Determine the deflection at the midspan (point B) using the method of superposition. (10 marks)
