1. For the beam setup shown, determine all nodal deflections and reaction forces, and the deflection equation for Element 2. Use \( k=6 E I / l^{3}\)(for both springs). Check equilibrium, which involves computing the spring forces \((\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{kx})\).
In solving this problem, the condition was imposed that \(\mathrm{M}_{2}/ l=0\), meaning that there is no applied moment at Node 2. However, since there is beam curvature at Node 2, there is an internal moment at Node 2. To determine its value, it is necessary to return to the element stiffness matrix of either Element 1 or 2(both contain Node 2), and evaluate the forces using the nodal deflections that have already been determined. Use this process to show that \(\mathrm{M}_{2}(\) internal \()=0.1922\mathrm{M}\).
