Calculate the reaction forces at the two end supports.
Macaulay's approach is to be used to find slopes and deflections
along the beam. Write the general expression for the bending
moment at a section X-X at distance x measured from the left end
to enable the solution.
Using 'double integration method', derive an expression for the
vertical deflection along the beam; hence determine the vertical
deflection at mid-span.
