A cantilever beam has a length L = 12 ft and a rectangular cross-section (b = 16 in., h = 24 in.). A linearly varying distributed load with peak intensity q₀ acts on the beam.

(a) Find peak intensity q0 if the deflection at joint B is known to be 0.18 in. Assume that modulus E =  30,000 ksi.

(b) Find the location and magnitude of the maximum rotation of the beam.
