Transcribed Image Text:**Title: Calculation of Beam Deflection at Midspan**
**Problem Statement:**
**5-2.2-2: Find the deflection at midspan using a W14X22**
**Diagram:**
The diagram represents a simply supported beam AB.
- Beam material: W14X22
- Length of the beam is 13 feet in total.
The loading on the beam is as follows:
- Left segment (A) is loaded with a uniform load of 1 k/ft over a span of 4 feet.
- Right segment (B) is loaded with a uniform load of 2 k/ft over a span of 6 feet.
The beam's span divisions are:
- The left unsupported span is marked as 4 feet, with a support at point A.
- The midspan segment between the left load and right load is 3 feet.
- The right unsupported span is marked as 6 feet, with a support at point B.
