Problem 1
Determine the equations for the slope and deflection of the beam
shown below by Double Integration Method. Also, compute the slope
at each end and the deflection at the midspan of the beam. EI is
constant.
Problem 2
Determine the maximum deflection in a simply supported beam of
length L carrying a concentrated load P at midspan.
