A beam rests on supports at A and B and is loaded by a distributed load with intensity q as shown. A small gap Δ exists between the unloaded beam and the support at C. Assume that span length L = 40in and flexural rigidity of the beam EI = 0.4 x 109 lb-in2.Plot a graph of the bending moment at B as a function of the load intensity q.

A beam rests on supports at A and B and
