Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement:**
Determine the reactions at A and B if EI is constant.
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram depicts a horizontal beam AB, which is supported at two points: A and B. The beam is subject to a uniformly distributed load represented by arrows pointing downwards. The intensity of this load is denoted as \( w \).
- **Point A:** Represents a support on the left side of the beam. It appears to be a pinned support allowing rotation but preventing translation.
- **Point B:** Represents a support on the right side of the beam. It appears to be a roller support, which allows horizontal movement but prevents vertical movement.
- **Uniform Load:** The load is uniformly distributed over the span \( C \), which is the middle section of the beam.
- The total length of the beam is \( L \), divided into two equal sections: \( L/2 \).
The goal is to find the reactions at supports A and B assuming the product of the modulus of elasticity (E) and the moment of inertia (I), known as EI, is constant.
