Question: [ 1 ] Problem 1 : The figure below shows a beam under distributed loads with a rectangular cross - section. The nodes and elements

[1] Problem 1:
The figure below shows a beam under distributed loads with a rectangular cross-section. The nodes and elements have been labelled and numbered on the beam as shown in the figure.
Figure 1: Beam configuration I
Material Properties, load values and dimensions:
\[
E=105\mathrm{GPa}, b=70\mathrm{~mm}, d=40\mathrm{~mm}, L=100\mathrm{~mm}, P=80\mathrm{~N}/\mathrm{m}
\]
Note: Assume that node 1 is the origin of the system
a) Construct the System Free Body Diagram for the beam, showing nodal degrees of freedom and system level forces and moments. Which of these are known and unknown? (12 pts)
b) Find the equivalent forces and moments due to distributed loads at nodes 1,2 and 3.(12 pts)
c) Find the value of deflection and the slope of the deflected beam at node 2.(\(\mathbf{8}\mathbf{~ p t s}\))
d) Find the unknown reaction forces and moments at nodes 1 and 3(\(\mathbf{12}\mathbf{~ p t s}\))
e) Find the stress in x-direction at the beam cross-section at node 2,\(\sigma_{x}\) as a function of y -coordinate. (8 pts)
f) Sketch the Bending moment and shear force force diagram for each element in the beam (\(\mathbf{8}\mathbf{~ p t s}\))
