Please answer the following and show the step by step answer on clear paper
Problem #1 (Beam optimization).
Calculate the length "a" of AB such that the
bending moment diagram is optimized (the
absolute value of the max and the min is at
its lowest). Then draw the shear and moment
diagram for the optimized length. Optimize the
length to the nearest 0.1 m.
You can use RISA 2D as a tool to find the
optimized length, however you need to solve for
the support reactions at A, B and C by hand and
draw the shear and moment diagram by hand.

2. Using the Green-Ampt Model, compute the infiltration rate, f,
and cumulative infiltration, F, after one hour of infiltration
into a sandy clay loam soil. Assume initial moisture
conditions are midway between the field capacity and wilting
point and that water is ponded to a small but negligible depth
on the surface.
