Step 1
Solve for the support reactions RA and RB. These reactions are needed to build the bending-moment expression M(x). (If you cannot supply Figure 1, give the positions and magnitudes of all concentrated loads and distributed loads so I can compute RA and RB.) Show more…

A simply supported I-beam is loaded with a distributed load, as shown. The deflection, y, of the center line of the beam as a function of the position, x, is given by the equation: y = (w0x / (360LEI)) * (7L^4 - 10L^2x^2 + 3x^4) where L = 4 m is the length, E = 70 GPa is the elastic modulus, I = 52.9 x 10^-6 m^4 is the moment of inertia, and w0 = 20 kN/m. Find the position x where the deflection of the beam is maximum, and determine the deflection at this point. (The maximum deflection is at the point where dy/dx = 0)

Determine the slope at point $A$ and the maximum deflection of the simply supported beam. The beam is made of material having a modulus of elasticity $E$. The moment of inertia of segments $A B$ and $C D$ of the beam is $I,$ and the moment of inertia of segment $B C$ is $2 I$.
