Question: ( a ) A simply supported beam is subjected to a uniformly distributed load over entire span and it is subjected to a point load

(a) A simply supported beam is subjected to a uniformly distributed load over entire span and it is subjected to a point load at the centre of the span. Calculate the bending moment and deflection at midspan by using the Rayleigh-Ritz method and compare with the exact solution. use trail function y= a sin(\pi x/l).
