2. (35 pts) Consider a fixed-fixed uniform beam of length L, Young's modulus E, and area moment of inertia I. It is subjected to a concentrated force P at a distance a from the left end as shown. a) Determine the reactions at the supports. b) Determine the deflection equation of the beam. c) Determine the deflection of the beam at L/2, assuming a 2.
