A beam ABCDE is 10 m long and is simply supported at B and the extreme right-hand end E. The beam carries point loads of 50 kN on the over-hanging end at A and 60 kN at D, together with a uniformly distributed load of 40 kN/m between B and C. AB = DE = 2m, and BC = 4m. If the point C is 2 mm below the level of the supports at B and E. Determine: (a) The flexural stiffness EI. (b) The deflection at the end A.
