Conjugate Beam: Find theta C, delta C using conjugate beam method

(constant EI)

**Title: Conjugate Beam Method for Deflection Analysis**

---

**Objective:**
To find the slope (\(\Theta_c\)) and deflection (\(\delta_c\)) at point C using the Conjugate Beam Method.

**Description:**

The problem involves a beam fixed at point A with a length \(L\). There is a point load \(P\) applied at point C, located at a distance \(x\) from A. The load causes a moment \(PL\).

- **Beam Details:**
  - Length: \(L\)
  - Point of interest: C
  - Load applied: \(P\) at point C
  - Distance from fixed support A to point C: \(x\)
  - Moment caused by load: \(PL\)
  - Material's flexural rigidity assumed constant (\(EI\)).

**Goal:**
Use the conjugate beam method to determine:

- The slope at point C, \(\Theta_c\)
- The deflection at point C, \(\delta_c\)

**Approach:**
The conjugate beam method involves analyzing an imaginary beam (the "conjugate beam") with the same length as the original. Reactions and loads on this beam correspond to the bending moments and slopes from the original beam.

**Note:**

To fully solve the problem, apply equilibrium equations and use appropriate boundary conditions and material properties to calculate \(\Theta_c\) and \(\delta_c\) at point C.
