A simple beam AB supports five equally spaced loads P (see figure).
A simple beam AB supports five equally spaced loads P

(a) Determine the deflection δ1 at the midpoint of the beam.
(b) If the same total load (5P) is distributed as a uniform load on the beam, what is the deflection δ2 at the midpoint?
(c) Calculate the ratio of δ1 to δ2.
