Please write out your equations and free body diagrams. Anything that is typed gets weird in the formatting and i cannot understand it. Thank you

In order to reduce the bending moment in the cantilever beam AB, a cable and counterweight are permanently
attached at end B. Determine the magnitude of the counterweight for which the maximum absolute value of the
bending moment in the beam is as small as possible, and find the corresponding value of | M Imax. Consider (a)
the case when the distributed load is permanently applied to the beam, (b) the more general case when the
distributed load may either be applied or removed.
