Solve Prob. 4–11 using singularity functions. Use statics to determine the reactions.

Prob. 4–11, A simply supported beam loaded by two forces is shown in the figure. Select a pair of structural steel channels mounted back to back to support the loads in such a way that the deflection at midspan will not exceed ½ in and the maximum stress will not exceed 15 kpsi.
