Mechanics of solid

A simply supported beam ABCD is subjected to a uniform distributed load along AB and CD as shown in Figure Q2. The properties of the beam are: E = 70 GPa and INA = 30x10^6 mm4.

(a) Determine the deflection of the beam at point B.

(b)Next, change the pin support at point A to a fixed support. Develop the slope and deflection functions.
