Question
A beam of length 4m and flexural stiffness (EI) of 1.4 x10 Nm², is simply
supported at its ends as shown in Fig. Q3. The beam is subjected to a
concentrated load of 20 kN at a distance 1m and a clockwise couple of 15
kNm applied in the plane of bending at a distance of 3m, both measured
from the left end.

Fig. Q3: Loaded structural beam
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.
