a uniform beam subjected to a vertical concentrate force P and a distributed force b=px on the right half span of the beam where p is a given constant. a. Using one two-node beam element to model the entire beam, derive the external nodal force vector for the beam. b. Using two two-node elements of equal length, give the formula to calculate the force vectors for these two elements (you are not required to carry out the integration for the right-hand side element, but full details of the integrand must be given).
