Q4. A simply supported beam with a span of 8 m has a uniformly distributed load of 20 kN/m from the left support to middle of the span and a concentrated moment of 40 kNm (clockwise) at 2 m from support B (point C) as shown in Figure Q4. Please take E=210 GPa and l=5x10-5 m². Please do the following: (a) Obtain the reaction forces at the supports, clearly stating the direction of these. [7 marks] (b) Using the Macaulay's function determine the slope of the beam at both supports, and the vertical deformation at midspan, clearly stating the direction of the slopes and the deformation in each case.
