206 Problem
From the given beam shown in the figure with constant El.
1. Which of the following gives the moment at B.
2. Which of the following gives the reaction at A.
3. Which of the following gives the reaction at B
SOLUTION:

2. Which of the following gives the reaction at A.
3. Which of the following gives the moment at the point of application of the 80 kN
concentrated load.
SOLUTION:
1. Moment at B:
